Hi everyone! I'm new here :-)
I'm from Italy and I'm writing here because I need an advice from you. This summer in Egypt I met a Jordanian guy and we fell in love. When I came back home, we decided to start a relationship even if he lives in Amman and I live in Italy. For now it seems working out very well. Anyway, I've decided to book a flight to go to Amman and he seemed happy of that. He told me that he will host me at his home and I'm really excited of this new experience. The "problem" is that he is Muslim and my father still doesen't accept this relationship because of the prejudices about muslim and islam. I must confess that I'm a little worried too because I'm going to "live" for 17 days in a house and with people of which I don't know anything. But at the same time I'm confident because I trust him and I know he is open minded and won't hurt me neither emotionally nor phisically.
Should I trust him? Can some Jordanian broke the stereotypes about Arabs? Do they really exist? What can I say to my father to convince him? Is the political situation calm there in Amman?
My decision is going for it anyway and take that "risk" but I'm curious to know your opinion about it. Thank you in advance :-)
