Three Strikes & You Are Out: Are His Words Grounded in Truth?

Dear Zuri:

My question is about a man I met over 5 months ago. He calls me every day, saying he loves me and wants to marry me. He lives in another country called Dubai and has said three times that he will come see me. However he never shows up. Whenever this happens, I get angry and tell him that he is a liar. He is upset that I don’t understand him. I am really confused because I do not know what is he up to. Is he being honest? Please help. I cannot sleep or eat well wondering if I should trust him or let him go. I have been hurt by my ex and I do not want be hurt again.
