My friend met an Egyptian guy on holiday and got married a year later. If you wish to be in the relationship with him, you have to be married because there is a law there which says that two people can't live together unless they're married. My friend also told me that her Egyptian husband behaives toward her with a great care, love and attention. She has all the best opinion about the people, weather and her husband (she is from Europe). They're strictly brought up and marriage means a lot to them.
I think you should do now the same thing you would if any guy asked you to get married: to think about it thoroughly! if he's the right person for you, if you could imagine living in Egypt with him and if you could accept the cultural and I suppose religion difference. Listen to your mind but don't forget the heart. Good luck!

Be really really careful. Firstly because you can help him get into your country which he might want. Secondly, even if his affection is genuine, the culture difference will make the relationship more difficult, you would both have to be very adaptable and also able to cope with any negative comments from other people. I think you should say that you are not ready for marriage yet, and just stay in a relationship with him for a while, if it lasts then consider marriage, but dont do it straight away.

Dora, where are you from? Lebanon? Egypt?... Why would you care if this boy wants to marry you? It's obvious that you shouldn't marry him since you don't know him well enough! Creepy stuff.. But I doubt he is looking for access into wherever you are from coz to my knowledge, you don't need to go through so much trouble to get into ANY middle eastern country. However, I wouldn't recommend it, the unity I mean, until you both get to know each other better.
This dude is probably just looking to shag you whenever. If that's the case, then you should probably kick him to the curb. Good luck with that.

Trust me on this I'm in a similar situation. Give it time make sure you want to be with him. I'm currently in stationed in Turkey and am dating a Turkish woman which wants to marry me. Her culture is very different then mine and I sometimes cant handle it. In her culture men are superior to women so 9 times out of 10 the men end up beating their wives. I don't know how is culture is but please be careful you never know what can happen. If you can give it sometime.

hmm... how long have you been knowing each other? I mean, you can't possibly get to know each other well enough during one holiday trip to be able to decide that you want to spend the rest of your lives together! who knows whether he will be still all charming and nice once you're married? maybe he will change completely. you can't be sure...
If you don't bother having a long distance relationship, keep on telephoning, emailing ect., otherwise forget it. If you marry him now and realize after a while that it was a biiiiiig mistake you'll be so sorry.

What he wants to marry you after so little time...... who said romance was dead!!!!. What happened to getting to know each other first. A holiday romance is just a form of escapism and when you return to reality it will hit you like a brick. Well if you want to end up predating feminism and making yourself a servant to him why not go ahead and get married and chain yourself to the kitchen sink.

Holiday-Love... just take it easy, and get over it.
Somehow, holidays are making our hormones jump into the sky... rarely such relationships are having future. Be a bit objective... How good do you know him, his family... What he is doing, His ideas about life, future... How much time have you spent with him, to understand him, his character?
My grandma gave me an advise; try to imagine the man with your parents, taking tea and just sitting together. What do you see?
It worked for me...

Follow your heart is my main advice. Think about this, do you love him and does he love you? Do you trust him and does he respect you? What is his opinion on the culture difference, would he adapt to your culture or does he expect you to change to adapt to his?
I must admit to being a romantic at heart, but I believe that if you both truly love each and want it to work then it will.

Depends what you want to do. Do you love each other? Do you want to marry him? Ask yourself these things and decide from there.
Also take note of the answer above me by princessdd, that's an important point.

I would say listen to the previous posts and be careful. A lot of them are just looking for a green card.
