I would be grateful if someone would give me some advice. I have met an Egyptian man in Holland who is a coptic chrstian. We have known each other for 1 year now and he wants to marry me. He will need to go to Egypt first and then we can get married and then I will have to apply for a Spouses visa. This is all new to me and wanted to know if anyone has been in a similar situation. I have a few reservations after reading stories from this site and would appreciate some help. I can be contacted on 0794921009.

Why the rush to get married? Leave it for awhile, if you feel hesitant, DON'T RUSH IT. Go with your intuitions girl.

Ur story seems to be a bit different. The majority of the girls on such sites are going to mary 2 weeks after they meet a guy. It is stupid. And u know him for one year. It is quite a long time. What makes u doubt him? Do u think he can use u or what?

Why would you compare your man to the stories focused on 'gigolos' on this board?

posted Hi,
I am happy that you might found the man of your dreams. After one year together you should really know his character and personality and if you both match well together. So don't worry and follow your heart. You do love him, right? Have you been to Egypt already, did you meet his family? Are you a little afraid of going and experience his country? Don't worry, you will just do fine. And maybe anyway you will settle down in Holland together. Good luck to both of you!

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that despite all the negative experiences mentioned on this forum there are some sucessful unions as well. I met my husband in Italy in 1984 and this year we will have been married for 19 years. When I first met him I soon found out that he had dated women from every European country and had 3 shoeboxes of letters from women all declaring their undying love for him. Being young (only 18) and willing to take a chance, I did marry him and have never regretted it. We now have a wonderful 9 year old son and three homes - one in London, one in Durham and one in Heliopolis in Cairo. Despite all the warnings from people and the prejudice we faced, we have a stronger relationship now than ever before. My advice to you would be to follow your intuition and maybe, like me, you have found a gem!

If there is a huge age-difference or other significant differences I would think twice if I were you. Depending on what you want from the relationship that is.
