Fara, she said he is footing the bill and perhaps they will meet somewhere else. I can see why he cant go to the US, much easier for him to move about on this side of the world.

you cant paint every picture with the same brush.... my husband is Syrian and I must say from a majority of Damascus men (real Damascus men :)) they have decent intentions. There are jerks everywhere, so yes I agree she should be careful but at the same time who are any of us to tell her not to come? She may be missing out on the love of her life or she may be setting herself up to meet the biggest creeper of all time. She'll never know if she doesnt take a leap.
