Maxximo He is a Sales Rep who i dealt with at work a few times, then he asked me for coffee and it went from there. Ok yes he is twenty years younger than me. He is strikingly handsome, everybody who met him said so, classic tall dark and handsome man. I knew it wouldn't go anywhere because of the age difference, so just wanted to enjoy the moment, but like a fool, didn't expect an eventual financial ulterior motive...ouch.

I'm interested in greenthings point about perceptions of the west. He is a muslim. initially i think he got confused about being with a liberated western woman, for example..he was initially talking about "marriage" !! and i couldn't fathom why!! until i learned many muslim people don't do boyfriend/girlfriend...maybe initially i was unknowingly corrupting him or misleading him..

I wonder what this muslim man thinks of this western women who has a boyfriend and doesn't get married.?? who hangs out with male friends who are not my relatives, who drinks alcohol...i didn't appreciate his different values to mine...from his point of view i don't deserve respect?..

yes i have much to learn about the cultural divide
