Dear Shay,

You are okay with having sex and an open relationship.Freedom involves a great responsibility and will also have consequences.

He might simply ditch you thinking--hypocritically--that you are an easy lay.He might have told his family,which might show a lot of affection but might not know that he has been physical with you( they could be conservative when it comes to sex).All of a sudden they might learn this from him and tell him that what he is asking for--courtship--should have preceded sex.Then how are you going to deal with it?

I feel that you have been wise about inviting him over to your apartment.People will see him come to you and not vice a versa.Let them know that you weren't desperate to visit him.Just make sure he is not a carrier of many diseases,North Africa might harbour ,mainly T.B. and some respiratory viral illnesses.

Does your friend circle and family know about him?
