Hello to all of the wonderful members of the Egypt expat forum! 😁. I would have never considered asking this question on a site such as this, however, a Google search on my question brought me here and the responses to that question have given me hope I'll get real answers/opinions.
I am a 38 year old former United States Marine. I have no children, have been married once and had a few long-term relationships but none based on truth on the masculine side of the partnership. Now, I am hardly perfect, but I am fiercely loyal and want nothing more than to take care of a man who is also loyal and wants to treat me like a woman and not a trophy or toy. I am kind and affectionate and do my best to keep compassion and faith in humanity alive.
My question/situation... I met a 30 year old man that lives in Sharm in an online community game. Within a week of us speaking he has confessed his undying love and wishes for me to go to him. He wants us to marry immediately and live in Sharm where he will take care of me and erase all the years of abuse I've suffered from my mind. He has told me these things among others along the same lines that make me think maybe I will finally get my happy ever after. He says he has told his family and friends about me and has offered to pay for the flight to get us together faster when I told him it would take me a couple of months to save to pay for the ticket. I have read, and will continue to read, as much about Egyptian culture and the Islamic faith as I can to prepare for the possible move. Everything so far has only made my excitement grow (It sounds as though I should have always lived in Egypt!) That is, until I read the personal story of another expat member. I realize this isn't a free relationship advice site, I plan on using any and all of the services that pertain to my situation. This is really an amazing place and I am glad to have found it! That being said, does anyone see anything with the basic description I have given that looks suspicious? Is this normal behavior for an Egyptian man? Is this too good to be true? He's very attractive, looks to be in good health .. he initially did mention something about returning to the US but my comment of it not necessarily being such a wonderful place was met with the reply that we would live in Sharm and that he is sure I will love it. (my apologies to any that the following offends it is just my opinion, but American men for the most part, in my experience, know nothing of how to be a man and how to treat a woman) I purchased a membership to duo lingo and will begin learning Arabic tomorrow, though he does speak English well, I would prefer to make things as easy as possible on all involved in our possible union. I'm so excited at the prospect but also so fearful that this is just a dream after all. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read my, most likely, highly ridiculously question (s).
Have a fabulous day!

One thing I should add for perspective. I think he created the current account he has in the game where we met just to speak to me with a his actual "face". The details he already knows about me point to him being the owner of a couple of accounts I've interacted with. However, those accounts were not "him". It sounds funny but it would make sense if you knew the game and his role in it. The first account would have been a man that I spoke with and ending up "dating" as you can only do in an online setting. We hit it off and two months after speaking everyday for hours I told him I was going to buy a ticket to spend a month with him. Very quickly his entire personality changed. Then he ignored me for 2 weeks, was very cold and short with me... We didn't speak much after. If more details are wanted please just ask, I hate to spam the forum. I apologize if I already have!! 😅
