I'm trying to find out how we can find out more about a guy my daughter met on the Internet? From Algeria?. About 5 months ago my American 24 year old daughter met a guy on the internet from Algeria living in Paris, 2 years. She was in the middle of the application process for an advanced degree in nursing, when suddenly she said she didn't want to be a nurse. We found it baffling as it has been her life time calling. She worked and studied to get almost straight A's to get into a competitive program.
At Christmas time she went over to Paris (saying she wanted to meet her French relatives) to meet him and now she is blindly in love. Conventional wisdom says there is there nothing we can do about that. He is very handsome, intelligent, clever, speaks 3 languages (self learned) and says he's working on his second master's degree in IT Management. The first is in Business Management.
I wonder why he had all these days to travel with her as a manager.
He says he loves her and I sense he cares However, the fact of the matter is that we don't know who this guy is and really, what is his agenda?
He has spoken to everyone in our family and visited my daughter's relatives, whom I haven't even met. Yet he told her he can't tell his mother about her because in Algeria it has to be an official announcement before. He drove her to Ansterdam and they stopped off in Belgium to introduce him to a best friend.
Everyone says he's serious, handsome, and responsible and wants the best for her. In other words charming.
He says he's going to come over to the US in April but I doubt it somehow. How will he get a visa? Is she financially responsible to sponsor his visit?
Still no ticket.
I'm afraid she will quit her job and move to Paris and put herself in a very vulnerable position.
Is he married??? A Fiancee?
Already has a daughter.
If there is anyone who offer suggestions on how to navigate this difficult situation, I would be very grateful for any intelligence out there.
Thank You,
