10 Signs a Moroccan man loves you
A little while ago, my Morrocan husband and I wrote this guide to Moroccan men and their red flags, but we decided we wanted to do the inverse of this. What are the signs a Moroccan man loves you? How can you know he has true feelings and intentions, and what are some green flags regarding a Moroccan man mentality?
A lot of women are meeting a Moroccan man online these days, and why not? It’s a popular way of meeting someone from any country, and Morocco is no exception. But, you do have to consider that visa scams are incredibly common around the developing world, and only becoming more common. There are plenty of women who love Morrocans who find their hearts broken because they didn’t know the signs to look for when it came to dating somebody from a completely different culture.
A word of caution
Moroccan men are often wonderful fathers, husbands, partners, sons, and brothers. We don’t mean to generalize an entire country of men, and if we were to do so, it would take a lot more than just one article. That being said, every man is different, and on the flip side of that, a man can “say” all the right things and still not have good intentions.
Be very, very, very careful when dating internationally. Online and texting and video calls are not real intimacy, and you truly cannot know somebody’s character from behind a screen. They can tell you whatever you want to hear, hang up the phone, and be a completely different person. I’ve seen it happen plenty of times, so it’s important to start out with that clarification.
So, without further ado, here are 10 signs that a Moroccan man has true feelings and that he really wants to be with you.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #1 – His family knows about you
Morrocan men put family before everything. Their parents, siblings, and extended family often mean the world to them. So, if his family knows about you, that’s a very good sign. Often, the family of a Moroccan man will not actually need his girlfriend or fiancé until shortly before the wedding or even at the wedding. But if they don’t know about you at all, that could be a sign that he does not take your relationship that seriously, especially if you have already gone to visit him.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #2 – He works hard
The economy in Morocco is not good. There are many, many unemployed or underemployed young men in Morocco. There are also many employed men who make very little money, even doing full-time work. Some full-time employees in Morocco only make the equivalent of $200-$300 USD a month, often for very hard work.
However, many Moroccan men can use this poor economy as an excuse to never try. If you hear that your Moroccan spouse rejected a job offer or doesn’t actually try to look for work, instead insisting he will work when he gets to your country? That’s a red flag and speaks to a general lack of work ethic that likely won’t change just because he’s in a “better” country.
But, if he’s willing to do what he can to contribute to your relationship financially or otherwise, or you can see he’s trying to study, learn skills, or work in some way, that’s a really good sign. Yes, the economy is bad. But there are plenty of opportunities for Moroccans to gain skills, learn new trades, or otherwise make money. There is no reason, especially if he’s not working, to do nothing and depend on you for his ability to work in your country. Moroccans are smart and capable and that is simply excuses.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #3 – He is willing to take the relationship slow
It’s a common excuse for scammers to “lovebomb” and try and push the relationship to go very quickly as a way to get a visa. They will say, “we don’t date in Morocco,” but that simply isn’t true. Especially for the younger generation, it is common for them to date for months or even years before they get engaged and get married.
So, if he’s telling you that dating is not part of his culture, that’s probably just an excuse to get you to marry him as fast as possible. It is true that the dating process in Morocco goes quite a bit faster due to the influence of Islam, which prevents premarital sex, but this does not mean that you should let him pressure you into something you’re uncomfortable with just to appease him and his religion until you are 100% certain about him and his character.
If your Moroccan partner is willing to take the relationship slowly, really know each other, and visit a few times before getting married, that’s a really good sign and a green flag. However, if your spouse is pushing you to marry on the first trip, start the visa process before ever meeting, or otherwise push you to move the relationship faster than you’re comfortable with? That’s a huge red flag.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #4 – You are on his social media
In Morocco, it’s uncommon for Moroccan men to show their Moroccan wives on social media. This is changing a little bit with the younger generation, but generally speaking, a Moroccan man will not indicate his Morrocan wife, nor show her on his social media. They won’t show as “married” to each other. This is often to prevent the “evil eye “from affecting their relationship, or from his friends and family members from being nosy and bothering her.
This is not the case with Moroccan and foreign relationships. Even though showing me on his social media is unusual for his culture, it was important for my husband to include me on his social media because he knew that in my culture, it’s weird to not show your partner on social media. It looks like you’re hiding something, or the relationship isn’t genuine.
If your partner won’t show that you are in a relationship, or at least put that he is in a relationship, that’s not a good sign. Your spouse or partner should be proud of you, and, hiding you on social media means he might be hiding you from other people, people he could also be in a relationship with (or trying to be).
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #5 – He’s jealous
My husband insisted that I include this one because he feels like jealousy is a sign of love. Let me explain.
“Moroccan man jealousy” is something we’ve discussed before and while it can be debatable if jealousy is health, it is common in Morocco. Many women start wearing hijab only after they get married in Morocco and this can have as much to do with their husband as with their faith. I don’t necessarily think you can make the argument that jealousy is a “good” sign, but (according to my husband), a lack of jealousy does indicate a lack of interest.
According to him, Moroccan men only really exhibit jealousy when they have real feelings for someone. If he doesn’t care who you talk to, what you wear, or how you spend your time, that can indicate a lack of true feelings or interest. Again, the line between jealous and controlling/abusive is often razor thin, but if your man doesn’t have any interest in those things, it could be a sign that he simply isn’t serious
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #6 – He’s excited to meet you
The reality is, most Moroccan men don’t have the money or visa to be able to visit you in your country, so the odds are that you’ll be visiting him in Morocco. However, you can tell a man who truly loves you versus one who might just be using you for benefits by how he treats you when you visit.
Does he meet you at the airport, does he arrange all of the transportation and hotel stays, does he make sure your time is special? Or does he insist that he conveniently doesn’t know how to do anything in his own country and relies on you to set everything up? As we’ve discussed, the economy in Morocco is not good, but he should be at least helping you plan and organize the trip, if not actually helping pay for it. And if he does have a salary, odds are he can save up enough to pay for part of the trip if not the whole thing.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #7 – He never asks for money
This one seems a little bit obvious, but if he truly loves you, your Moroccan man won’t not only refuse to ask for money, he’ll refuse to accept it if it’s offered.
Keep in mind, however, that asking for money directly in Morocco is uncommon. More often, people will hint at needing money and will often reject the first few times you offer. He may say things like, “I can’t text you back because I don’t have any Internet…” or otherwise complain about his mother needing surgery or some other catastrophe until you offer.
A Moroccan man that has serious intentions of marrying a woman will never, never, never take her money. Ask any Moroccan woman. In fact, many Moroccan men forgo even considering marriage until they reach a level of financial stability that they can adequately focus on finding a wife. You being a foreigner should not be the reason he shirks his own financial responsibilities.
The reality is, he does not need your money. He survived before you, he can survive without you. If he is accepting your money, that is a bad sign. But if he refuses to take your money, that is definitely a green flag.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #8 – He wants to meet your parents
Family is everything in Morocco. A man that has serious intentions about marrying you want to meet your parents, your siblings, and the people most important to you. He will want to build a relationship with them and impress them, even if that just means over video call.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #9 – He doesn’t keep secrets
Building a long-distance relationship is difficult, but it’s especially difficult when you also factor in all of the cultural, religious, and language barriers associated with western and eastern relationships.
The reality is, many young Moroccan men can be talking to women from several countries and playing the field to see who will come, and “rescue” him from Morocco. Some women even end up having a baby with a Moroccan man before finding out his true character. If at any point you feel like he might be keeping secrets, ask lots of questions. The only way to know if a Moroccan man really loves you is to look at his character, ask a ton of questions, and listen to your intuition.
Signs a Moroccan man loves you #10 – His actions match his words
This one is the last one, but it’s the most important sign that a Moroccan man has true feelings for you. Promises are cheap. Words are cheap. Actions mean everything. If he doesn’t follow through with what he says he will do, that’s a sign that he just isn’t that interested. But if he is true to his word and follows through with his promises, well, he just might love you.

Hi Kate
Help me here. Is it possible for a foreign woman with kids from a previous marriage, to get married to a moroccan man, in Morocco?
Thanks dear
Kate
Yes, of course. Many people who get married in Morocco have children from previous marriages 🙂
Di
Yes. I had a. Moroccon boyfriend Who thought all westerners. were rich. At the end of my holiday. he asked if i could send him money for his extra needs. Big red flag. He had a good job and two houses. Dont get it
Julie
How common is it for a Moroccan man to want to date an American woman with an age difference of 25 years? Is this a clear indication of a romance scan?
Alyssa
I married a man from Morocco, he’s 30 years younger than I am but we don’t see age. His family loves me so much and he has been the best husband.
MJ
Depending the men like everywhere on the world there good and bad ,but most of us we are looking for one love 4ever, just should respect our choices is not hard or alot because we are jalousie due the love we provided.
The Moroccan men needs just real love from u girls then he will make u happy 4ever .
If someone looking for a men who will love protect care of her Moroccan men can be the very good choice
Keeley
Hey Kate & Anas!
I posted a comment yesterday – it’s in review. Don’t worry about replying – I had my first date with him and he’s a catfish! And he stank. I tried to be polite, so talked to him for 10 minutes – he bought us both a can of soda, but was so rude to the man in the shop. Then when I said I couldn’t continue with him, he left his empty can on the floor and stomped off.
I’ve just got home and he’s sent 5 abusive texts.
I would appreciate if you can just delete my posts. Thank you and happy holidays : )
Kate
Hey! I hadn’t had a chance to approve it yet, so I’ll just delete it. Sorry you went through that, and glad you found out sooner rather than later. There are many amazing Moroccan men, that just sounds like it wasn’t one of them <3 Best of luck in your future endeavors.

How can a Moroccan guy 30 years younger then myself say he likes me so fast? The look of his face and voice on messenger seems harmless he’s been in Victoria 3 months i just find it quite fast he kept asking in many times in beginning about Isalm . I set him straight I’m comfortable with my reglion . I have nothing personally against any reglion however when someone starts pushing then I have a problem. I told him please respect I’m not interested Isalm . Only reason I asked you questions cuz my partner passed several years ago I have had many
unanswered questions. I was hoping he could shine some light on my unanswered questions. He says anything I want to ask he will answer . He just very fast saying I like you I have my guard up maybe cause I’m missing my partner . I think I’m trying to seek comfortable thru him . What is your opinion. I know my beloved can never be replaced. I miss him so much each day. Its hard. Thank you for listening .
Kate
I’m really sorry for your loss.
30 years is significant and would be very, very unusual in Morocco. One thing I learned about love and relationships in Morocco is that we don’t view marriage in “the west” like many do in Morocco. Moroccan marriages for many are still about practical things: money, resources, and etc. Families, for example, will push women to pursue the wealthiest man she can or will discourage a financially irresponsible match.
I’m not saying this is why, but it is one of the reasons many Moroccans make exceptions for female partners that are quite a bit older. Sometimes even when they’re in another country, they may say they’re legal and have their papers but they’re actually only on a temporary visa or are there illegally and need to find someone for a more permanent residence. I’ve even heard of situations where the Moroccan man has a wife and family back home and he looks for a local partner so he can live with her and send as much money back as possible.
I’d say be careful. Sometimes pushing religion can be a way of controlling, or laying the groundwork for future rejection later. I am sure there are instances where there have been successful age gaps of 30 years, but I think it’s exceptionally rare and most families would only approve of it if they thought it would be financially advantageous.

Hello Kate, wasn’t sure how to ask you a question. I’ve been seeing a man who is from Morocco, he has been in the US many years. He was divorced over a year before we started dating. We have dated for two + years. He had to go back to Morocco to take care of his mom and family. But work there is really slow and he’s coming back after being gone for 8 months. We have talked everyday from the first time we met. He has been honest from the very beginning. He was not wanting to be in a relationship but after a couple months we did get into a relationship. He worked a over two hours away from me and lived 2hours away. Neither of us were ready to live together and because of our jobs it would be hard. And I own my home and have animals and I can’t afford to take care of two places. Yes he would pay the bills but I was raised we help each other. We see each other 2-3 times a week as long as things are good to do. He has never asked me for money and actually he helped me one time and I gave him the money back. He’s very kind and typical Moroccan stubborn 😁. And I love this man so much. He takes care of his mother, sisters, and sometimes brothers if they need help. He’s been a father figure for his nephew and niece. I’ve met his mother and she even came to my home to butcher a sheep and clean it. She made some on the outside barbecue it was really good. She’s devoted to allah and that’s the other reason we don’t live together because neither of us will disrespect his mother. When she’s living here with him. He’s so loving to his mom. He doesn’t tell his mom or anyone he loves them. He doesn’t say he loves me. He say I have a huge part in his heart. But I feel the love in how he treats me, commitments with me. We can talk for hours or just be together. We cook together. He’s very compassionate, caring, giving, and loving. He’s had a lot happen in his childhood, and he’s the one responsible for his family because his father choose not to ever be there. He has so much responsibilities, but he always says he has no choice, that he has to. I love that he cares for his family, that no matter how hard it is he takes the responsibility and love for his family very seriously. I do love him very much and was always raised that if you love someone you must tell them everyday. My parents always said they love each other and being in America I’m use to hearing it. He has a hard time saying he loves me or anyone else. I know he loves his mom and family he shows it. But he doesn’t say that to them and they don’t use those words either. I’ve heard him and his mom, and she tells me how proud of him she is. Is this a common thing with Moroccan men or would it just because of what he went through? And I feel like he loves me the way he is around me, but doubt it sometimes because he doesn’t say directly say I LOVE YOU. It’s things like he will say you have a huge part in my heart? I think it’s harder for me because i have been told those three words from a very huggy kissy family. My x husband said he loved me but his actions didn’t show it. We raised four kids and it was hard to be married to him. Do you and your husband believe he does love me? I guess I doubt and have a hard time being able to trust because of things I’ve been through. If we lived closer we would be in the same house eventually we have talked about it. I am afraid to be hurt and I think I put up a bit of wall too, but maybe different from him. Hopefully you can be honest and from what information I gave you let me know what you both think. I know you can’t know exactly because you are not here to see us. We are great friends we laugh together, we enjoy ourselves together. And yes we have had a couple of disagreements, what relationship doesn’t. I’m older than him but not by much just about 6 years, so it’s not that either. Like I said he has never ask me for anything, he’s a hard worker like my dad was. And I respect a man who is not lazy. I work too. Any way I hope you get this sincerely thank you

Hi,
See for me the only red flag is I have sent momey to him but he has never asked for money but when I sent him he dies get upset but ends up picking it up… the thing is he agrees with me to not marry him but I don’t know should I just forget about him? We been talking since August of this year… what are your thoughts?
Kate
Unfortunately, to be completely honest, that’s a pretty big red flag. Moroccan culture can be quite indirect, and even when Moroccans ask family and friends for money or help, they don’t do so directly. It’s more about, openly discussing money problems and expecting other people to offer, and then even protesting when they try to give money but then accepting it anyway. A man who genuinely wants to start a relationship and build a family will not complain about his money and financial troubles with the woman he wants to impress. Pride and masculinity are big in Moroccan culture, and there are few things as emasculating as complaining about finances to a woman.
In fact, most of the women who get scammed in these online relationships feel doubly scammed because they felt like they pushed their help onto their partner, only to find out later that he was manipulating them. And because visa and money scams are becoming so common, they pretty much never directly ask for money anymore. In fact, most don’t even try it all and go straight for the visa, which ends up being a lot more money and opportunity in the long run over a few hundred or thousand dollars in the short term.
I don’t know your situation, but my guess is that he would talk about how hard his life is, how hard it is to find or keep a job, how he has a sick mother or sister or father or something… obviously, I can’t give you advice on your situation because I don’t know all the details, but accepting money or even hinting at needing money is a huge, huge, huge red flag. Maybe one of the biggest ones.

So the guy I have a relationship with asked me for money at the beginning of the relationship. Since then he has introduced me to his family as his wife, said he wants 5 kids with me, and is always jealous. He told me his mom likes me. Said he shouldn’t have asked me for money and that his mom would probably beat him if she found out. He really wants me to come out and see him. Has the whole trip planned out and I don’t have to pay for anything except my flight. We’ve known each other 4 months. But he started right away with saying he loves me the first couple of days. He wants me to come out soon as possible and wants to start visa papers he said so we can be together. Has a hard time finding a job but is always out looking for a job. So is this a scammer?
Kate
If I’m being completely honest, I will never trust a Moroccan man who asks a woman for money. Unless you are married, have joint expenses, etc there is literally no reason for him to ask money if he has good intentions. My guess is he asked for money and when you didn’t immediately block him, he started in for the visa. His family knowing you/liking you is not a good sign, as often many Moroccan families know about (and encourage) green card relationships because when he’s in a country with a better economy, he will send back most of his paycheck to them. Families will happily lie for their sons and brothers, and sometimes he will even have a wife who pretends to be a sister just so he can get out and get money!
Please look into lovebombing, which is the act of moving super fast, showering a girl with love and affection, and has nothing to do with true feelings and intentions. I would absolutely say he’s a scammer and if I were you, I wouldn’t waste one more second on this person. My guess is he is talking to several women and is doing the same thing to them and is simply waiting on the first one to visit and sponsor him. Please be careful.
Cate
Hi, I just need some help to understand I meet this guy while I was on holiday last month, I’m a single mum and I was on vacation with my girlfriends and he was working for the hotel we stayed in, anyway he try to invite me to dance few time and I ignored him as I’m very shy, in the next few days he kind of bothered my friend saying that he thought I was beautiful and how he wished to talk to me; at some point the last day I give him a chance came out that he was 28 and I am 35, and I had a child, he didn’t mind cause he actually thought I was way younger, we only shared a kiss at some point since then anyway we been speaking every day he text and call very often we laugh a lot. Now the problem is that at some point I decide to go and see him in few days, he recently change job and his payment will be in on the end of his first month while the other other didn’t pay his last month, he didn’t not ask me for money of course but he suppose to pick me up from the airport and we suppose then going for a visits in medina, obviously he informed me that we could do so cause he didn’t have funds, as I am travelling solo and I felt uncomfortable to travel to the hotel by my self, I anyway asked him to book a cab for hi to come and pick me and back, he said that will cost 40 pound he thought that was too expensive for me to do so, again he proprose then to rent in stand a car (after I told him don’t want problem find solution) for 60 so we could use it all day to go city center as well, obviously I need to sent money for this car, the question is do you see this as a red flag, should I trust him
Lucia
Started talking to a Moroccan guy. We don’t have any age gap, we are of similar attractiveness and he seems financially stable but I’m still on high alert. One reason is he’s way too charming, he talks to foreign women and the other is he mentioned he wants marriage and kids. I told him I don’t think I’ll get married and he told me not to think like that. After that I was suspicious. I’m taking it super slow and for now we are only friends. He knows I’m half latina, I’m going to tell him that I don’t have an American citizenship only the citizenship from my mom’s country which is also poor like Morocco. I want to see how he responds but I think I might just walk away.
Kat

Some people will say no as there are successful age-gap foreigner/Moroccan couples, but this is quite rare in Morocco. And parents knowing about/being aware of the relationship or even seeming to approve of it doesn’t necessarily mean as much as we might think, as many families will be fine with him getting a visa marriage and then divorcing her to eventually marry a Muslim or Moroccan woman back home.
As far as how to check if he’s honest, that’s hard to say until you meet in person. Really, anyone can be anyone behind a phone or computer screen. It’s really hard to tell someone’s character until you meet in person.

Hi kate! I met moroccan man about 2 months ago, and we are texting by whatsapp sometimes. He never claims that he loves me, but he called me by sweet name like “dear” “honey”. Is he interested in me?
Lilly Morales
I met a Moroccan young man in 2021 and I have visited him and his family in 2022. His family have been great to me. We are planning on getting married this year. There is a very big age defferents but I truly believe he loves me as much as I love him.
Sendy
Hi! I met Marrocan man. Soon we will meet again, in Agadir. Is it true, that we can’t booking appartment if we are not in marriage?
Kate
Hi! I wrote a guide on this 🙂 https://crossculturelove.com/unmarried-couples-in-morocco/
Nancy
Hi Sendy, how are things going with your friend? What’s your age difference?
Talie
Hi Kate,
I’m after a bit of advice please. I have been speaking to a man I met online from Morocco for 6 months now and am planning to meet him in the summer…so will have been talking for a year by then. We speak every day multiple times, and always first thing in the morning and last thing at night. He’s kind, caring, excited to meet me, talks about meeting my family one day. We are not going to stay where he lives but in a more touristy place and he’s planning things for us to do. He is aiming to get a visiting visa to come to the uk as he has children here from a previous relationship, but is waiting until he has finished a few things that will strengthen his application.
We send each other letters and small gifts, and our relationship just goes from strength to strength. We have told each other we love one another and he makes me so happy. His family know about me but not too much detail as we’ve not met in person yet. My family however are not convinced and it’s really starting to get me down. What would your advice be? Do you think it’s a scam and I’m just being naive?
Kate
Hi there 🙂 So that’s really not a lot of information to go off of to know someone’s intentions, but I’d wonder a few things.
1. How old are the kids? If they’re little kids, is he still in their life? Why is he purposely seeking out multiple women in the UK for relationships instead of finding someone locally (assuming his children’s mom is from the UK as well)?
2. Does he work? How is his financial situation?
3. Is there a reason he isn’t introducing you to his parents on your trip?
4. Your family members are probably worried for a reason. Is there any validity to their concerns?
Obviously you don’t need to tell me the answers to these questions 🙂 Just food for thought.
Talie
Hi Kate.
Thank you for your reply. So he met his ex online and they were together for 4 years, having 2 children together and he had planned on marrying her but then it went sour. She would always bring the children to Morocco to visit as she is from the UK. So he hasn’t seen them for about a year. He’s very determined to be the one to travel to see them as I think their relationship didn’t end well and they don’t really speak. They are 6 and 3.
He does work yes, but from home…he creates websites for companies…not totally sure I understand it all.
I think because currently where he lives it’s not ‘liveable’…he recently got an apartment block from the government (if that’s right?) and himself and family live on the 3 floors, however his apartment is the last to be renovated and so we wouldn’t be able to stay there comfortably. Plus I think he knows I’m nervous about travelling so going somewhere more touristy and more English speaking people definitely makes me feel happier.
My family are just worried it’s a scam…i don’t know how to prove to them it’s not without meeting him first.

I’ve chatted with a Moroccan man for several years. I’ve seen red flags and have had doubts about him.
I’ve read questions and responses here and I simply want to confirm what I read.
He has made comments like, “My mom needs hearing aids,” “I need a roommate. I can’t afford the rent on my own,” “I only make $600 a month as a teacher,” “I can’t afford that,” and others.
Are these indirect requests for money? Do teachers really make so little money? He’s in his 27th year of teaching.
He makes comments like, “If you come here, we can marry.” He hasn’t even divorced his second wife. He told me she moved back to the US and he can’t find her to serve her divorce papers. I will not be part of polygamy.
We talked about meeting. But it sounds like I would be paying for everything. I am not doing that.

Such a fun article, Kate! Thank you for sharing! I loved the family ones: that has definitely been my experience! My Moroccan husband and I met each others families right away! That was 11 years and 3 kids ago😃 I wondered about the social media one, however, because I think you hit the nail on the head regarding privacy and not wanting to share personal love stories in Moroccan society (except for with other women, of course!). My experience is that my husband does not share about me on social media unless there is a good reason or a private family group. He and I met in person in the USA, however, and we never had a long distance relationship. Perhaps when the only means to communicate is online it makes it more important to use all the resources available! I would say if all the other green flags are there, then the social media one is not a big deal. Congratulations to all the brides on Moroccan husbands out there! I love my Moroccan man. I feel luckier and more blessed with every passing day❤️

Hi Kate!
I’m American woman, and I’m 31 years old. I recently had a vacation in Morocco and I met a Moroccan man in Marrakech while I was there, who is also 31. We spent quite a bit of time together while I was in Morocco and had a bit of a romantic fling during my trip. He even rented a car and drove to Casablanca from Marrakech just so we could spend more time together! He also was sweet enough to drive me to the airport on my last day. He told me he loved me very early on, and claims he’s never felt like this about any woman, except for the love he has for his mother. I’ve even heard from his best friend that he’s never seen him act or feel this way towards a woman before. I also met his mom and brother briefly via video chat, though I’m not sure what he told his mom since it was in Arabic. He’s definitely jealous too and can be possessive! Which I know is a sign a Moroccan man is into you. However, I’m really skeptical and naturally cynical, especially with all of the warning signs of Moroccan men online. He’s been very sweet, kind and genuine, as far as I can tell, and his actions have aligned with his words, although I’ve been on high alert for the majority of our time spent together. I’m honestly just unsure how to proceed. Now that I’m back home in the US, we talk frequently and video chat at least once a day. We often talk for hours at night. He keeps me updated with his life and shares a lot of his day with me with pictures and videos, and he’s always telling me that he loves me and how much he misses me. As much as I want to believe his intentions are pure, I’m so scared of him using me or not being authentic or honest with me. I don’t want to be played a fool! He has mentioned moving to the US to live with me a few times, since I told him I don’t want to move to Morocco. Thoughts?

Hi, I’m going to meet my Moroccan Bf for the first time this November, but he will introduce me to his family like a friend that wants to visit Morocco 🇲🇦. What should I think about this? Should I take this as a red flag 🚩

Hi Kate & Anas.
So iv being dating a Moroccan guy for a year now and been to see him 2 times. We are both around the same age but we are
taking it slow as I have 2 children.
I do send him the odd £50 on occasion if I can spare it because it’s just who I am.
I know you say the money thing is a red flag but my Moroccan/English friend married her Moroccan boyfriend and they’ve been together 16 years now and she paid for his life over there when they were dating and they are so in live and have stood the test of time. I’m not talking about my own situation here but I don’t always agree with the money thing because there have been a few mixed Moroccan couples I know who have paid for their boyfriends and they’ve been together years now. If your with someone and you have something that they don’t then you should help should you not ??? X

I dont know if its true, because i have a morrocan man and he always saying to me that he is hard working man and need to save money. And he always saying to me that he will call me later and try to give time if he is not busy. But he did it, if he is free in his time at work he do call and talk. And he says he wants me. I dont know if its green flag or should i still wait for other signs that he really likes me. And the other things he wants to save money because he wants me to meet soon. Please helo me to know what is the real score on this.

I met a guy from Morocco from a friend we’ve been speaking for 2 months now and he asked me to go visit him, I’m terrified of flight and I told him the truth, he told me if it was that I was thinking about paying for anything not to worry cause he will be paying for everything. I’ve posted on my post about finally getting my divorce after so many year bring separated and he wanted to help me with paying for it again I declined. I’m really interested in him but I’m not use to all of that. I’ve posted a picture with my best friend my guy gay best friend and he was holding me the Moroccan guy I’m talking to didn’t like he at all, he told me he doesn’t care if the guy ways gay or straight nobody should be holding me. He says he’s really interested in me and I am as well I thought my age gap with him was a bit to much he’s turning 31 and I will be 42, he says he’s very been married nor do he have kids, he’s spoken to me about marriage and wanting kids when the time is righ for us, but I dont think his family knows about me, I’ve never asked him neither. I’m a bit confused yet awwww at the same time

Hello,
I went to Morocco about 2 month ago and the host ended up messaging me and we’ve been talking since.
All day from waking till late night 5Am and he’ll say he misses me and I should go back as he wants to see me.
I genuinely think he’s nice and sweet, I’m also a single mom and he asks about my child all the time and says to bring him.
Always filling me in, showing me what he’s upto..
But then I read all these horror stories, which makes me think twice..
so I guess I’m nervous of giving in. He’s never asked for anything, did mention how he’s busy but no money then ended it with God takes care of all. (Once)
He’s always trying to call but I avoid it as idk if I should give in.

Hi kate,
Thank you for your post. But i have more question about dating moroccan man. I have a special someone and he is a moroccan man but working here in Canada. But we are too far from each other.
The first time we meet online it seems in good shape to build relationship but suddenly he stop talking to me for a month. But after 1 month i think he started again to contact me. And keep the communication everyday is there. And he shares so many things like about his culture, family, works and he also now try to help me to be a woman that i can be. In short, he shows like caring and have thought about me. And the last time he told me that he wants to build a good foundation to both of us. And he said that he likes me becuase i was a nice and great person that always there to him. That is why, he wants to build a good foundation for both of us but not in fast ways but in slow way on knowing each other well and he also try to learn my language. And he also told me to try to learn his culture. So we can build a good foundation. But i dont know if he is really serious with me because of this kind of stuff. Because i like him so much. And the last time he told me that he really likes me to. That is why he keeps me updating the things he do in everyday life works and everything. Do you think is this red flag or green flag. Becaue i dont want to waste my time. I appreciate to your reply please give some words for me. Im really want to know about moroccan man. Thank you so much. This is my email you can email me here [email protected] for more advices you can give thank you and God Bless
