Can I trust Morrocan men in love?

Susudimana

Hi, I met my berber-Morrocan man 2 months ago as he was my tour guide.  He proclaimed that he loves me within a few days of meeting (which is flattering but I have alot of doubts on love at first sight).  Things heated up between us really quickly, he's even showed me the apartment he was renting.  But though I have returned to my country now, he still continues to call me every few days and texts me everyday.  He still tells me he loves me, and that he told his mother about me, and he will like to marry me.  I don't know but I've read so many negative things on Morrocan men online that I'm 50% suspicious.  He does seems very sweet and romantic, but then again anyone can be. 


Wanted to hear from anyone if Morrocan men are really sincere or they just know their way around with words?

@Susudimana Run away and don't get involved. I'm sure your guy feeling is telling you something is wrong here- listen to it! I'm speaking from personal experience. It takes no less than a year to get to know someone.

What about immature men anywhere?

@Susudimana  it’s hard to judge someone based on a generalized thought. Either ways, Moroccan or not, I’d recommend giving the relationship some time. Usually, fraudsters can’t keep their sweet masks on for so long. So, don’t rush into something very serious. Take your time, dear!

I could have written your post 4 years ago.     Long story short. Run.  If you even taken the time to write it in here your gut told you what we can’t.

@Susudimana make decision after you know more about him and family. If you argue then don't.

@Susudimana totally agree with every word you wrote. Don‘t rush to any decision. Take your time to know your partner.

@Susudimana I have similar experience. My BF has declared his love to me after only one meeting and wanted to marry me after one month. It is extremely unusual in my country. So I googled the red flags of love scammers. I will suggest you to do the same thing. If you are lonely, longing for love, not so young, not so beautiful, from europe or America, and your lover is much younger than you, you should be cautious. Remember: a scammer always wants something: s**, money or visa. Some scammers are networked. They learn from each other how to catch your love and attention.

As above. This is the best information. The declarations of love without knowing a thing about you after a day is a red flag. My best advice is to stop wasting your time and simply block, delete - move on with your life and don't look back.

What I do in Morocco is help with making marriages happen! So for me seeing mixed marriages is great and I support all genuine couples. But this story you have told us is the tell tell signs of marriage fraud or scam.

All men and women all over the world you may encounter bad and good ones , so no one is perfect

Of course there nice respectful honest Moroccan men without a shadow of doubt

So will I have as well to ask the same question like yours

can I trust women in other countries than Morocco ?

Slebeww

I agreed scammer fake person happen in the world, read stories foreign woman with experience theirs faithful and unfaithful. My advice make some test before decide, they might have network to scam only for visa, my advice trust your gut, if something not work as common and ur not prioritize better u move on.

I would be extremely wary of this guy. Tour guides are infamous for chasing their clients. The fact that he loves you, will introduce you to his mum and wants to marry you should be a red flag after such a shot period of time. He is love bombing you? He might be legit but if he was he would take it slowly not be rushing and gushing in so fast. Ignore and enjoy your life or live and learn. Good luck with what you decide. x

I cannot speak to the character of individual men and women but I can share a cautionary tale. The United States is an irresistible goal for many people around the world. We had a lot of young sailors and marines who left their homes in the heartland and on their first deployment to the PI ended up with a young/old lady who promised to love them long time. Only to bring their bride home to the US and find that it wasn’t their charms but access to the big PX that was the draw. Whatever your charms, access to America is also a huge target. Do not jump blindly into a marriage until you know the character and desire of your potential mate. Cross culture, cross religion marriage is inherently more difficult than with someone who shares your cultural heritage, religious beliefs, and societal norms, even then odds are 50/50 on success. Marriage is a covenant relationship not to be entered in lightly.
