This topic was stated earlier in the column and I m sorry for bring ing it back, i just really need some adice and help ? ?

 

 

Im writing to get some advice and comfort from any one who can help : (

I recently met this turkish guy on the computer and i liked him and he liked me. The next day he asked me out and we have just been writing and messaging eachother over facebook and windows live. He is so sweet and very nice. And to be honest this is the first time in a really really really long time that I am actually happy. There are just a few things on my mind.{#emotions_dlg.think}

I have seen pictures of girls in turkey and where he is currentlty studying and they are very pretty. It just puzzles me why he would want to have a long distance relationship with me rather than with someone right there where he can be with her. And another thing that puzzles me is some of the things he says. He is so deep and shows his emotions when he writes. Don´t take this the wrong way, I like it alot. I like him alot.{#emotions_dlg.bigsmile} I just don´t know if he is really serious and I was wondering if ther e was a way to find out. I was thinking of messaging him and asking him straight up but I was wondering what other people thought.

he knows little English and I am trying to teach him english while he tries to teach me turkish. 

 

Im just confused and really want to know what other people think ?{#emotions_dlg.doh}

I *HAD* a Turkish boyfriend (hence like so many other females, i joined this site!), but he turned out to be a cowardly fool. In the beggining he swept me off my feet though... he was charming, SWEET, romantic and really knew how to use his words, even though English was his 2nd language. And i never found those qualities in an English man. Thats my guess as to why so many western women fall for Turkish men. I even found myself starting to like another turkish guy recently... but, as it turns out, he wasnt the man of my dreams either, just another guy. I think Turkish men treat their woman differently to English men.

I´ve recently started dating a Turkish exchange student at my school. He is so gorgeous that I can´t believe he´s actually attracted to me and we talk for hours and hours on end. He´s so gentle and sensual and pays attention to what I say. I guess I could also say that we do have a natural chemistry. But aside from that, he is always wanting to spend time with me and he doesn´t blow me off to watch football with friends or play video games. Plus he enjoys taking me out to dinner (which is rare to find in a guy in college).

In fact, he told me that he´s an atheist and actually wants to move to America someday. He doesn´t want to marry a virgin Turkish girl. Or any virgin for the matter. Considering that I´m in college, our relationship isn´t going to go to the next level but I´m going to miss him so much when he leaves and I wish him the best. He has been nothing but kind and genuine to me. And I´m not one to trust men easily either.

Hi,

 

Turkey is a very diverse country and you can find the nicest and worst people as well, it really depends. What I am gonna tell you is, in NO way general, or respresent the whole population, but my idea about Turkish men, and their relation with foreign women...

 

There are many repressed feelings in Turkey, at least for the majority of the population... I´ve seen many men, who were having unhappy marriages with their wives, and ended up with foreign women, and treating them like queens. The very same guy who could actly ugly, might turn into a prince with a foreign woman. Again, this illustration does not respresent most of the Turkish men and there are many instances like this. Why does it happen... because those men are usually not happy with their marriages/relationships....

 

For example, One of my friends ran away to Russia, with his Russian lover. He has a wive and children back in Turkey, and he keeps sending money to them. But no, he is not coming back, but happy with his Russian lover, why? Because he is very much attracted to her, not only physically but also personally. They are much more liberal in life and in bed. They can share stuff, they otherwise couldn´t in a traditional Turkish family setting, which might be too restrictive and limited.

 

I know, your situation is not directly related to this but listen... You think he´s gorgeous and ask yourself how he can be attracted to you, right? Well, beauty is very subjective. I´ve seen very handsome European guys getting attracted to regular Turkish girls, who are not deemed that attractive by Turkish guys, or vice versa.

First of all, many Turkish men are attracted to Western women, I haven´t seen one who isn´t yet, so you might be very attractive to him the natural way you are (more than to the local people around you), not only physically but also culturally and spiritually.

 

Secondly, the beauty and coquetry of a woman brings out the gentle soul in a Turkish guy. Almost all Turkish guys, regardless of their education levels or backgrounds will turn into gentlemen for such a woman, so it might be a princess kissing a frog turning into a prince kinda situation.

 

Third, your character and the relatively liberal culture, along with the thrill of a foreign environment, losing the shacles of the constraints of the old times might be instrumental in his feelings as well.

 

Forth, Greencard might be an issue... the easiest way for him to stay in the country is to get a greencard by marrying an American woman, but of course, given that he´s a very good looking guy, he wouldn´t have to push it too hard. So if he is still unhesitatingly interested in you, it means that he really likes you.

I did not marry my Turkish husband because he seduced me.  Nor did I seduce him.  Quite the contrary.  We knew each other for many years, respected each other and were best friends.  I couldn´t imagine sharing my life with another. He is my family and my love for him can not be measured in a poem, love song or any other romantic gesture.  It is in the way he knows I am tired and cooks dinner for our family.  It is in the way he knows I am sad and reaches out to me without a word.  I could go on and on but true love is not about seduction it is about loyalty, friendship and trust.  These are the things that transcend culture, religion and seduction.  A man can say a thousand pretty words but if he is not a true companion then his is ONLY pretty words and not much more.  This is true of any man...not just Turkish ones.
