simple kate ,
Love has no boundary,culture, language, rich,poorness,employe , un employement, .....etc.It is a innermost feeling from your heart.
the feeling only will make you happy ,and the feeling only anticipate lot from your opponent.one sms one hai ----- it is all body chemistery.
As we are all away from home our heart expect some closeness with other heart(!) as said by Brit expat.
But you have to decide yourself ,dont ask anybodies decision.it is your life.decide yourself.
Your love should not be onesided.Be politely inform him,if he say know forgat that and do our work as you wish and think about your family position.
But dont forget that you are living in Middle east countries.
