I am considering dating a Palestinian man?
I met this guy by the most rarest of chances. I was stuck on a highway and he was the tow truck driver to come and get me. We are the same age (29-30). There was a connection right away, we saw each other 3 times and there was intimacy. He says already that he “Loves Me”. He has only been in this country for 6 months and his English can be difficult. I adore him, but I am reasonable, I don’t fall this fast. I think he is mistaking “Love” for “Sex”. I am nervous that he is falling for me for the wrong reasons. Maybe because he couldn’t be free to do the things he does with me in his country. I am not Arab or Muslim, I respect his culture and religion. But I am a little hesistant about all of this. I really love the way he treats me and I think about him all the time. I just don’t want my being so drastically different from him to be a bother to his life. Any Muslim/Arab men or women out there ready to give a little Italian/Catholic girl a few words of wisdom?
If he adheres to his religion very closely, then it might be hard for you to pursue a long-term relationship with him from the cultural viewpoint. The thing is, it might be hard to understand, but if you`re thinking of marriage down the road then it is possible. Don`t expect him to convert but it is known that muslim women have to marry a muslim man only but a muslim man is allowed to wed a non-muslim (be that she is by the book). Also before going this far, make sure you know of his status in the country and he is not using you as a ladder to become a citizen (spousal way). I know it sounds like a bitter idea, but it happens.
Since your question is about dating, I don`t see much harm in it, and you can always opt out of the relationship at any given time. You don`t want to look back and regret not giving a chance to what coould have been.
