Hi
I met this guy through a game (where you play in teams with random people, and communicate), and we played together a few times for a week, obviously talking a bit while playing before he asked for my social media. We started talking a lot, and I'm just very comfortable talking to him which doesn't happen much for me.
We're both about same age, in early 20s. I'm typical northeuropean looking. We started videocalls so I've seen he matches his pictures, he's very chill when we talk, talks to me in front of his mother. Asks questions, wants me to ask him questions. He's religious but doesn't seem extremely traditional, he lives only with his mother. I'm an atheist and told him so, which he pretended to be fine with but I could tell he wasn't completely.
However, he spoke about marriage. In the beginning asking what I think of marriage, which I don't have a problem with bc I think it's good to know early on what you can expect from each other when you start getting a bit romantic. But then obviously he got too much and said he wanted to marry me some day. I told him it was way too early to know, and that I needed to physically live with someone for years to know if I want to marry them. He told me he wanted the same, that he just said it because he thought that was what I wanted and that he wouldn't talk about it again which he hasn't (yet, a week later).
I was okay with it all till one of my friends taught be about how morrocan men often scam for europeans visas, so I read a bunch if people's experiences, and I definitely see some of the red flags. Telling me how he feels, that he's in love. All this stuff trying to make me feel special and that I'm all he wants. I'm just stupid naive, because I tell myself that I feel this way too, so why shouldn't it be possible for him to do as well.. but ofc I have learned there's only a small chance for that to be true.
I started telling him I'm finding him hard to believe, and he tried (ofc.) very much to convince me he is honest and to just give him a chance to prove it. He keeps asking why he would be lying to me, what he would get from that, but I can't make myself tell him it's because everyone says morrocan men will do anything to get eu papers.. bc idk how would be the best way to make someone confess to this, if that's what they're doing.
But since we've talked about everything and we talked about each others countries, and he seemed happy with his, sends me pictures when he goes for walks etc.. doesn't seem like he needs anything.
We also talked about if it would be possible to meet, and I mentioned it would be difficult for him to come to my country, and he asked if it was possible for me to go there. I've told him I might not be able to (I don't feel safe at all travelling to meet someone I never met, for the first time, in Morocco). And he says that's okay we can just keep talking and see how things go, and find a way we can meet some day..
We've added each other on all social media by now as well.
Does this whole situation seem like a scam to you? I have very little knowledge of Morroco and the people who live there, and have honestly lost touch of my gut feeling from reading a bunch of different stories, good and bad.
And idk if it's worth carefully just seeing how things go, or if this is obviously scam to everyone else.
Thank you for your time.
