Why Italy - I am considering dating a Palestinian man?

I am considering dating a Palestinian man?

I met this guy by the most rarest of chances. I was stuck on a highway and he was the tow truck driver to come and get me. We are the same age (29-30). There was a connection right away, we saw each other 3 times and there was intimacy. He says already that he "Loves Me". He has only been in this country for 6 months and his English can be difficult. I adore him, but I am reasonable, I don't fall this fast. I think he is mistaking "Love" for "Sex". I am nervous that he is falling for me for the wrong reasons. Maybe because he couldn't be free to do the things he does with me in his country. I am not Arab or Muslim, I respect his culture and religion. But I am a little hesistant about all of this. I really love the way he treats me and I think about him all the time. I just don't want my being so drastically different from him to be a bother to his life. Any Muslim/Arab men or women out there ready to give a little Italian/Catholic girl a few words of wisdom?

you're watching way to much Mad t.v.. the persain tow truck man episodes.
Go for love. And i think the best thing you can do is research on his culture for a little backround info. I think that this can work because it seems you guys have a connection. And hey I am not Muslim or Arab but I have dated one of there guys and believe me the only mistake you are making is passing up a loyal and honest guy
I'm not Ararbic or MOslem. But I'll tell you that if you're the free-thinking type, and self-willed type, you may not want to get hooked to this guy. They are notorious for being overly possessive and once you become their woman, you are almost like property. If he is a practicing Moslem, you are going to be pressured into taking up his faith, more than likely, and that means acting subservient in every way they expect, since the man is the master and has final word.
not sure wut to tell ya.
he only wants into yer pants and wants you for marriage to stay in country.............dump him
Hey, I am catholic but i do have a very good friend who was once in this position. I will tell you now, that is most cases, it is problematic, its a extreme difference in culture and men of that culture and very high expectations of women, from the most simpliest things you do, and usually (NOT always) alot of uyour freedom can be taken only because this is their belifes and they are entitled to that. However my friend thought this guy was the perfect guy and he seemed it too! When the relationship progressed so did he, very obsessive and so on, to him he felt that it was his role to take charge. I am not saying that this is wrong and he is bad simply because that is the way they are raised and great to them but for a woman not from that culture it is EXTREMELY hard to change your ways and you shouldnt have to. You can talk to him about your views but remeber he and the same with every single other man in this world he can swear his word to you, but you will never know until your in the posistion, in my opinion i feel that you need to build a longer and stronger friendship, get to know him truely then make a decsion. Good Luckx But i do hope hes a good guy to you!
If he adheres to his religion very closely, then it might be hard for you to pursue a long-term relationship with him from the cultural viewpoint. The thing is, it might be hard to understand, but if you`re thinking of marriage down the road then it is possible. Don`t expect him to convert but it is known that muslim women have to marry a muslim man only but a muslim man is allowed to wed a non-muslim (be that she is by the book). Also before going this far, make sure you know of his status in the country and he is not using you as a ladder to become a citizen (spousal way). I know it sounds like a bitter idea, but it happens. Since your question is about dating, I don`t see much harm in it, and you can always opt out of the relationship at any given time. You don`t want to look back and regret not giving a chance to what coould have been.
just be yourself and if you like him you cant help that attraction, why don't you just date him like you would any othr catholic boy. don't judge him jut cuz hes palestinian
im muslim and i think u should date him the same way u would date a non muslim. I dont think u being different from him would be a bother in his life.
