hi i am only 15 years old and i met a turkish man over at side hes 18 and always tells me how much he loves me im back at liverpool know and he keeps ringing and txtin me I really like this guy and hes learnin more english for when i next go to turkey is this love or does he do they always do this kind of thing plz help?????

Turkish men are very romantic people, so don't be suprised that he writes beautiful words to you. It's a part of their culture: listen to their songs, most of them are about love, beloved women, pain of love etc. You are very young (ok, I'm also not that old and he's also young. The best way for you both is waiting in my opinion. But be careful, because many boys working in touristic areas dream about going to some european country, just like England. Just read Lyndie's essay about tourist industry in Turkey, you will easily understand why they want to live and work in soem other country...
Nevertheless I wish all the best and I hope you bf is a good man and everything will be all right.

Hi I rang Ahmet today he sounded down and I asked him did he want to cum on msn tonight and his replie was I dont know my darlin hr usually says I love yo but he didnt today whats happenin?? do you think hes goin of me?? plz help thankyou xxxxx

Lauren,

Please read Seticio's reply to you again, it is full of good advice. It is not a case that he has 'gone off' you, but maybe he realises that you live too far apart and you are too young to be together and 'in love' - try and be friends with him and don't speak so much of love, turkish boys use this romantic language all the time, but you mustn't take it too seriously. Maybe when you rang him something was making him feel 'down' not necessarily anything to do with you. Also don't forget that lots of turkish boys don't have access to a computer all of the time and often don't have the money to go to an internet cafe. what is very small money to lots of us is very big money to boys in turkey. If they have no credit on their mobile, they can't just go and buy it when they want and it is the same with internet cafes. He also might not want to tell you the truth about this if he feels embarrassed, take my advice and be friends with him, remember that he will not have as much money as you do and remember that romantic language means something different to most turkish boys than it does to you. - Good luck.

Nana you have made my day thankyou so much i just hope ur right

Hello Lauren,
I read the posts and was thinking how nice to be in your age and experience such innocent love.I don't think your boy is not honest to you.You just have to understand his situation.Even he is very young but he is a man with a pride.I think he'll never tell you that he can't call you or send SMS because he doesn't have money.I know for sure how hard it is for man be in that kind of situation.
I never been in Turkey but met many young people in Russia and many other countries.They work all day for few dollars to help their families.It is very sad but it is reality.
I hope you can have patience and everything will be fine.
And if it is real love, then know that love can move mountains.Remember that love is patient.
My best wishes to you.
Regards Bliss.

Should I ring him and asked him whts the matter? i have sent him a text saying hi ahmet you sound down on the phone if you dont want to talk to me you dont have 2 whatever i have done im sorry bye lauren xx do u think i have done the wrong thing by sending this text to him at the time i didnt know wht to think know im thinking different he hasnt rang txted or emailed since then im worried everythink was goin right but know its seems like its goin wrong thankyou everyone for the advise you jave gaven me

Hi Lauren

It's just a pity he couldn't read your posts here, and knew how you felt.

Turkish Guys in here,

Could some of you express to Lauren and Nana and more girls the questions they ask on boyfriends. Since every man has there own individuality, there still remains the characteristics bred into the males, which seem apparent in each country but differ from country to country.

Such as: Turkish, the sweet words, the passion, the romantacism.

Looking to see whose brave to answer!

you are right Angela...

This topic of Love is interesting and I hope to see Posts of all kinds of people Men and Women all over the world as I do not believe in 'stereo types' and comparison of a person by there culture or nationality or beliefs. People are unique in there own way from within there heart shines through their character and soul.

I have had a few boyfriends in my life and a variety of culture/nationality/personality/character and from rich to poor German to French to Spanish or Italian as well as Turkish/German. Each one of these men were/are very Loving,passionate,Romantic and can be extremely honest or not. Some tell you what they think you want to hear and some tell you what you desire to hear and mean it.

They may at times make you crazy or you them, .
Briefly I have to say all my loves in my life past and present hold similar qualities in there own way. I feel we connect and attract people with some emotional bond we desire from within. As they do too......and hopefully the bond will grow deep and you will be complete and happy forever as one, everlasting true love I wish for all of us!

I believe in love and feel each person reflects there inner most feelings in a variety of ways and so do most girls/princess' or woman/queens and Prince Charming's/Gentlemen and men or Boy's
they have all kinds of personality traits or ways about them.
From To

What is important is to feel loved and hope that your true love feels loved as well in every way. If your feelings come from your heart that is the most fulfilling love to give as well as receive.................................the ultimate love to me anyway's. To grow together and share your soul and heart with someone is a blessing even if only once you experience true love and it lasts forever or not
be grateful you have or have had such a precious person in your world forever or short term
in your heart it will always be
the memories or the memories to be made will remain within your heart for a life time.
Be grateful as I am to have or have had such a precious person in your world wherever they are from.

I hope to see men and women's opinions of this subject of love. I also wish to all my classmates and friends and loved ones to find true love as it is the ultimate feeling to share with someone.
For all the posts they have been enlightening and enjoyable to read. (no more stereo typing when describing your love a Turkish boy or a Latin Lover the meaning of love is a unique quality we all have our own preferences & desires & needs.
I love that I am unique as a Princess/lady born in the USA and my nationalities really are not how I express or share love as I am proud of who I am of Swedish,French, & Norweigen decent but that is only a fraction of who I am as a loving person. As are all of us!!

Hi Kelly:

Very true what you wrote on love.

The girls were asking questions which I hoped some of the men in here would answer them.

Maybe not stereo types but in certain countries, marriages are arranged without being in love, and dictated by families. Then they learn to love.

Even some European countries as my sister in law who is Cypriot stipulated her brother here in England went to look at who is now her sister in law and then arranged to be married. Same with her cousins. Without courting etc. Also in another country without falling in love I was asked by two different males to seriously get married. I had just spoken with them. One said he did not want a girl from his own country as they are lazy and liked a lot of money to spend. He was under the influence that we work hard. That there was another English girl nearby and I would have a friend of an English girl. All in the plan!

Another just talking to him was a sailor, very well off in his own country and had a beautiful speedboat etc. he got someone to say to me. Next time he came back from sea he would not go back if I lived with him. Plan again.

This same race of people, I was told by a colleague that he was friendly with a European and he was not happy because he was married to a girl from here and she worked in a shop and lived in a colliery house. He must have thought all English people live in big detached houses and are very wealthy. He told my colleague. My colleague also said he had a plan exactlty the same conclusion I came to: and he got to work in places to meet wealthier women. He worked in a hotel to try and meet a wealthy woman and then went to work in a hospital as a porter and ended up marrying a lady doctor and they are living in a very exclusive area in the North of England, in contrast to his previous wife. His plan paid off. I don't know which country he was from but he is from a country where there are 6 countries in. Work it out.

Maybe sometimes the brain takes over love.

does anyone know wht this means bende seni çok seviyorum bebeğim thankyou

Hi Lauren,

I have only been learning Turkish for two weeks, but I can tell you that: seni çok seviyorum bebeğim means: I love you very much my baby, the only word that I am not sure about is "bende" I will try and find out for you.

ben de meand "me too"

so it all means 'I love you very much too, my baby'

I should have known that really Setico, as ben means I / me You learn something new every day

SPECIAL LANGUAGE EXERCISE,
Designed for all ladies with complaints from bad Turkish boy friends

Ah-ı feryadın Fuzuli incitüptür alemi
Ger bela-yı aşk ile hoşnud isen feryad niye..

HELP:
Ah-ı feryad = 'ah of feryad'
incitübtür = incitir
bela-yı aşk= 'pain of aşk'
Ger= I suggest you dont bother with this word at all

NOTE: These are two verses from classical Turkish poetry. I cant say they are pure Turkish; they do however, have a profound message (at least to me). It may be hard, but well worth trying to understand it.

QUESTION : Why do you think the word 'Fuzuli' in the first verse starts with a capital letter?

Hi AlphaF

Is it in a capital letter to emphasise the word?

No, the capital letter serves a different purpose...

Another blast from the past catwoman,nothing much has changed

he does!

but i have to remind him sometimes!
