Best to leave that

Trying to save you further hurt lady.

The Pakistani men I knew were porn addicted. Kinda sad but their culture is so conservative. Especially if they are near Peshawar and the FATA areas.

I left Facebook because of them. Now I did know one from Karachi who was a gentleman. He asked me what do Americans think about us? I said what do you think we think??

Americans mainly think of 9/11.

He told me that they did not know the Qur'an that well and that they followed old traditions. He was a smart young fellow and we were both musicians. He showed me more respect than any Arab.

But still...you have to be very careful of that. Some women traveling there have been kidnapped.

They are Shia and Arabs are Sunni. All muslim but they hate each other.

Best to keep him as just a friend if you can do that.

I would not recommend travel to there. Our state Dept has a travel warning out. I just would not do it.

I am sure he is married. Most from over there marry their cousins by arrangement. It is normal to them to do that... however their offspring have often suffered mental and physical disabilities.

If you can't just keep as a friend then best to break contact.
