Dating Emerati Man-Communication problems. Help. Hurt.?

I want neither to comment nor judge your relationship with an Emirati man. Just in general: What's the problem? is a typicall question (as a repeat) of a man who doesn't WANT to understand you or who doesn't want to take any position because he doesn't want to get nailed.

I don't know what caused your communication problems. Was is related to a bad phone connection? Language related? Culture related? As a Canadian woman you might be used to deal with a different kind of men. You will be "exclusive" when getting married. Unless then - open end. This doesn't mean he doesn't care about you but he might care about his Islamic society/culture also, where it's not common to date or live together with a woman without being married. Especially when he is "traditional".

So far I never seen a happy ending relationship between a mid age western woman/teacher and an Emirati man also when I saw many women being in love with the same. These relationships ended for different reasons but mostly it was culture related when getting serious. Also when an Emirati man dates a woman (which he shouldn't), when it comes to marriage/family, etc., other things might have priority than just being in love.

This man just got divorced and I doubt he is ready to get into another serious relationship right away.

Use your head and don't get hurt. All the best.

@Coco: your answer is full of generalization and if you picked a foul apple - don't blame a whole nation for it. Doubt you ever been in the UAE anyway, otherwise you would know better.

If you already see a problem don't persue it . As such things could only get more complicated if you get married to this guy due to language barrier and family objections. Perhaps tell him to take an English class , and you take an Arabic class so both can communicate better. Or find a translator as weird as this might be for a date.

I think you are just making stuff up. I seriously doubted there is any truth in that answer. If you landed a "Psycho" that is your own problem , don't insult others for your mistake. There is the good , and there is the bad in every society.

Racists come in all colors. You see what you want to see. If you wish to only notice those people who disapprove of black men and white women, then you are talking to both races correct? Because a LOT of black women have a very big problem with that. There is also just as much attitude displayed toward a white man being with a black woman. I know - my white Dad married a black woman. I was there for 25 years, to see it, hear it, and experience it, from the beginning.

Maybe you should just take a break from this relationship. Don't spin it like you want to break up, just take a break. You're guy will get tired of this break after a while and go after someone else. Then you can start again with someone who's not divorced.

"I am seeing an Emirati man...if we are exclusive or not...He is divorced...he is traditional."

Looks like you just answered your own question.

If he is 'traditional', he wouldnt be seeing you in a 'romantic' way.

He isnt so 'traditional' as much as he is using 'tradition' as an excuse to not say he is dating you.... but to sleep with you.
