To some, this may be a frivolous matter, in which case I ask your pardon.
If this is the wrong place to ask these questions, please forgive my ignorance. I am not entirely knowledgable in these matters.
In December of 2006, I was contacted by a Woman who expressed an interest in marriage. She sent me Photos of herself and I must confess to being a little interested. However I explained that due to my current situation, I was not interested in entering into another relationship at that time. She was gracious and agreed.
She told me that she was an American Living in West Africa, being born in Alaska.
last night she contacted me again. We had a nice conversation, then she brought up the subject of Marriage once again. She offered to pay her own airfares, and help support the family so as not to be a burden. I told her that I was interested in finding a wife. I also told her that since our last conversation I had become a Muslim, that I was only interested in meeting a Muslim Woman who was Modest, Hijabi, and read the Qur'an. I also explained Australia's Immigration laws in relation to Foreign Wives.
She dissapeard offline and I thought, "Well that fixes that".
Twenty minutes later she comes back online, but this time she speaks to me as if she is Muslim. She tells me she goes to the Masjid five times a day to pray, that she is Hijabi, Halal and etc.
There are one or two things that concern me. Her profile now says she lives in Ontario, (Okay, people do change their address occasionaly).
The pictures she sent were, to say the least, hardly modest in that her shape could be clearly defined in her rather diaphenous gown, and the mini skirt and top.
Whereas I can accept that some people, whose first language in English, can at times, have a problem with concepts of grammer and structure. But in this case I find it hard to accept that English is even her second language.
How can I tell if she is being truthful?
Is she being a Convenient Muslim just to please me?
Is it possible to contact her Mosque to find out the truth?
Okay I may be interested in her, but when one lives thousands of Kilometres away, have never formally met, I need to be certain. I am not used to having a complete stranger make such a proposal. Besides I always thought it was the man's duty to make such proposals.
Or, maybe I am being Paranoid?
It is enough to drive me to Chocolate.
Any advice would be helpful, even if it is to tell me to forget it. because I do value your opinions and guidance.
