[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nefertiti: [QB] Hi Schatze I promised myself i wouldn't answer any more of these Hurghada "love stories" but i will answer yours. Your story is pretty typical - it sounds like he was just trying to see what he could get from you. Sad but true. You were right to consider it a holiday fling in the beginning and you should have kept it that way. The story about the Austrian woman could be part true or completely true... maybe (hopefully) she uses him the way it sounds he deserves to be used!! He may have tried to get to Austria and she rightly refused him. Who knows. Him tearing up the Orfi paper means nothing!! It could have been a copy and anyway it only costs about 100LE to get another one!! Just look at that as a dramatic gesture on his part!! Him taking you to meet his parents could mean something or nothing... depends on the individual. Most of the time the parents don't speak English so the man will just introduce you as a tourist who wanted to meet an Egyptian family. He could also have introduced you - in Arabic - as his meal ticket to your country!! Again sad, but sometimes true!! Sunbathing topless.... unless he is a real shite and cares nothing for his country or you, there is no way he should have encouraged you to sunbathe topless! It is just not a respectable thing to do in Egypt - not even in Hurghada. The staff may be used to seeing European's doing it but that just "confirms" their low view of western women. No Egyptian man that i know would allow his wife to sunbathe topless and may even protest at her wearing a bikini. I'm not married to an Egyptian, but i have Egyptian male friends and i know quite a few westerners married to Eyptians, their husbands even get upset if the woman wears a vest on the street. I'm sorry but this was the part of your post that makes me think that the guy you met is just a shite. Plain and simple. Was it Old Vic beach that you were sunbathing on? If it was then yeah, the women do all sorts there, but it's also full of the nastiest Egyptian men in Hurghada. And alot of the Orfi married couples live in the flats there. It's just that type of place. No matter what you do.... don't go into business with him (i know there has been no contact anyway), but don't, don't, don't!! Unless he has a really good excuse for why he hasn't contacted you, then i would say it has something to do with the fact that Hurghada is full of European women at the moment so he is busy! I'm sorry to be so cynical, i think it has something to do with the fact that i have been in Hurghada for long enough now. <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/biggrin.gif"> Also don't let this experience put you off of Egypt. Alot of Egyptians are really good people and there are other cities/towns which are nothing like Hurghada! Just some of the men give the rest a bad name. I haven't got time now or i would have tried to be a little less cynical and given you more positives about Egypt, but i think you should file this as a learning experience. He's a shite!! If he does contact you again and asks to see you etc just say Fil Mish Mish - When apricots bloom <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/biggrin.gif"> [/QB][/QUOTE]
