He lives with his family, he wants to teach and open schools in countries like Pakistan etc.

Since when is it wrong to marry someone you like?** Islam encourages us to marry the person we like. And there isn’t anything wrong with talking to someone as long as you are within limits.
I do plan on taking things slow, if I decide to continue with him, not even sure. I mean he’s very knowledgeable and seems very genuine. Nothing seems shady about him. I’ve seen his facebook, everyone he knows writes on his wall, noone random, nor are there any inappropriate comments or fake formal type of comments.
We both give importance to meeting, he is considering making the trip this summer, if not then plans on furthering his education in the U.S. next year or so.

However, turns out he lied and he’s 21.** But I guess I can understand why he lied regarding the age, it still doesn’t change the fact of how he thinks or how he is. Does age really matter? and is the lie that big of a deal? I thought so at first, but I guess I see where he’s coming from, and he tried for hours to convince me and apologize. It wouldn’t make sense from someone in Europe to be wanting to use someone in US as time pass…we both are busy in our daily lives…so I don’t think he’s playing…I could be wrong..but he seems genuine. And I still feel he has the qualities I want.
Would it hurt to continue to get to know him? Are the chances of him being honest and real, that slim?..I get a positive feeling but what are the signs to look for, or how am I supposed to know if he’s fake or lying like most of you are claiming?
