If you don't go and meet with this guy, then you'll end up spending the rest of your life wondering as to what your life could like if you had met him. At least if you go and it doesn't work out, at least you know but if you didn't, then you'll never find out if it would've worked out.

For most of your life, you've been selfless, putting your sisters before you in helping raise them so on and so forth. Now, I think you're old enough to be selfish and do something which you want to do.

Of course your sisters will worry, next to being there for you it's the next best thing anybody in any family can do and it shows that they really care for you and don't want to see you get hurt. But sometimes, you just need to go on ahead and see what happens. Like I said before, you won't know what will happen, unless you go on ahead and do it.

Could you live with yourself, knowing that you'd found 'the one' and you'd let him go for your sisters? I admire that think about them, but now it's your time to be yourself and I'm sure that your sisters are old enough now to look after themselves.

As for precautions, it all depends as to which part of Africa he's from. You get the good parts and the bad. Go to your doctor and see if there is any medication/vaccinations which you'll need when you're in the country etc.

Cliff notes version: go and meet him and see how that turns out because if you don't, you won't ever know how it would turn out.

I hope this helped,
triquetra
