I came across this page coincidentally, and after reading all the stories I am quite concerned about my relationship with a young Egyptian man who is 21. I'm from England,, and I am a muslim. I went on holiday to Egypt hurghada, when I met him for the first time. He was a lifeguard at the hotel I stayed in for 2 weeks. On my first day, he seen me and was quite attracted to me. He came upto me and asked my name, age, and were I am from. I answered him but I didn't really pay any attention to him qt all. On the second day he said that he wants to meet me but because I was with my family I couldn't , and he got annoyed for 2 days. But in them 2 days he made eye contact and tried to talk to me but I avoided him. Whilst I was there I had a major accident were I had to have an operation, and stayed in hospital for a day. When he found out he quickly rushed to my sister and asked wot happened to me and wot hospital I was admitted in as he wanted to come and see me. But neither of them new which hospital I was in so he couldn't come. When I came back to the hotel he kept on looking at me to see how I was, and he asked my family how I was and told them to take proper care of me and not to let me run around anywhere. He wad really worried about me, and for next 2 days he always kept on asking my dad and sister how I was. We always maintained eye contact, and spoke once to each other. Wen he spoke to me I felt like he is the one for me. He really cared about about me so I had started to develop feelings for him. On my last day, he was really upset and didn't want me to go, so he came behind me to my room and he spoke to m. He wad really emotional. He even wrote a letter for me but I wasn't able to get it off him as I was with my family all the time.
When I came back to England, we started talking, he told me everything about him, his family etc... And I thought yeh he is perfect. He made me many promises, he never asked me for money, visa etc.. It has now been 6 months we have been talking, but in them months my parents have found out ive been talking to him and they told me to cut all ties with him. But I didn't listen to them as I really love him, so I carried on. Then later they found out again and were quite upset about. But I still did not listen to them and carried on talking to him. With my parents not agreeing with our relationship, I'm really confused. Because I don't want to leave him and I don't want to leave my family. He is not a typical Egyptian guy who would leave me for money because he is not like that he is trustworthy. Know we just hope to be together soon. :(
