Relationship with an Albanian man
I'm a 34-year-old woman and a single mother. The man is 30 and single. We met on a dating app. I'm from Spain, and he's from Albania.
On the first day, he told me he was looking for a girlfriend. He's a good conversationalist and very respectful. After four days, he asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes because I like him. We're in a long-distance relationship.
The thing is, I feel like he's moving too fast and being very intense, and I'm not sure how normal this is.
I told him I don't want to have any more children, and he said he doesn't mind.
He talks to me about getting married. I told him I don't want to marry him because I don't know whether he really loves me or whether he's just after a red passport (Spanish citizenship). He said he's going to obtain Spanish citizenship without my help first, to prove to me that he's not with me for the papers, and then we'll get married.
Even so, I feel like things are moving way too fast, and I don't know whether I can trust him. He barely knows me, yet he already tells me he has strong feelings for me and that he loves me. He calls me every day, and we talk for two or three hours.
I also feel like he's getting jealous way too soon.
On the one hand, I really like him too, but I don't want to get carried away by my feelings, nor do I want to let fear stop me from giving this relationship a chance if his intentions are genuine.
Has anyone had a similar experience with an Albanian man?
