Hello! I am a 22-year-old American, and I would appreciate any advice/perspectives on this quasi-romantic relationship and friendship I have with a 24-year-old Moroccan man. I’ve known him for six months, meeting him in Morocco where we lived ...
Not all Moroccans are wanting to scam foreigners for visas. Some are, so being cautious is genuine. But dont over think things based on an unfounded suspicion. I think you should apologize to him and discuss this further and honestly with him. You ... Read More

This is pretty much where I am at. I enjoyed life in Morocco, but I probably won't have the opportunity to live there with or without him as long as he is pushing things this way. Only time will tell. I never expected to have to reestablish a ... Read More
