Set your own plan

Hi Jackie,

I recently start to talk to this Algerian guy that found me at Facebook out of the blue. I had not go that far as talk about marriage as this post stays but I start looking for information because it looks kind of strange and he always talks as we are going to meet someday and every times he talks about how he wish to be here.

Anyways as I read your comment I start to feel worry about you. I understand your need to meet him in persona and you are really invested by now. But I really recommend you to set your own plan. Meet him in your hotel or a public place and definetly not visit his home until you passed several hours with you. A thing you can do is inform the embassy about your trip and we're you are supposed to be, even if you chose to stay at his home. Check about cellphone and internet coverage so your not left without a way of communication. I really hope this trip ends well but as you talk about the changes in behavior and he quitting his jobs, that really don't sound good.
