Ahhh. this explains my date with creepy stare-guy. Tip, don´t STARE  at your date, while constantly asking "how do you feel about that?"... too much of something is never good

 Thank you And to all other people, why are you hijacking this thread Post another topic in the forum about racial slangs or something and stop confusing the girl who wanted some REAL advise

pfff, romanian with a moldovan accent, you know what I mean!

Carter is high on my list. Saw many documentaries about him, and people don´t realize all the things he did. It´s hard to be a president for peace in the US, and he surely was one!

Clinton had a sound economic policy that people also underestimate.

maybe... I should include JFK, although he didn´t have much time to rule, he did a lot in his short administration time, and it makes you wonder how a full 4 years would have looked like. The peace corps is his legacy, as well as not sending nuclear missiles to Cuba. Sounds good to me

Corba, or words similar to it are also used in a lot of Eastern European countries to say soup. When my partner came to visit me, a Moldovan co-worker talked to him about food (don´t ask me why) and they discovered that a lot of words in Moldovan and Turkey were very similar. I think it has something to do with history and Turkish invadors in the area of Moldova, but don´t pin me down on it.

I know what kind of accent you mean. Some people pronounce some K´s with more air (don´t know how to explain it). So then the K in koy becomes an...airy K I´m confusing myself here

If anybody on here lives in Ankara as a foreigner, can they tell me a bit how they experience it? I found a job opening in Ankara, but to be honest, never been there! Wonder what it´s like to live there...

The moment he starts asking for money, dump him. If he tells you a sad story about how his little sister needs shoes, and asks you to buy these shoes, dump him. Don´t get overwhelmed by the things he says. It´s not about what he says, but about what he does.

Turkish men are very good with worlds...usually Mine is a bit of a ...well, never mind But usually women get overwhelmed by sweet words, I love you´s (after the first week!) and romantic gestures.

In the end, roses don´t matter, words don´t matter, what really matters is what he really does, how he really lives his life.

I´ve been with my Turkish partner for over three years and I have seen couple crash and burn in large numbers. Simply because the girls reacted SOOO differently to these men than they would in their own country. They would never fall for these sweet lines out of the mouth of a ginger English guy

There are a lot of red signals you should watch for. For example, does he work in the tourist industry? And if that is the case, in what kind of business? The boys/men who work in bars/cafe´s and the like often flirt with girls who are with large groups or with their families, to make the whole group come again and again to their establishment. And they keep in contact with these girls so the girls also send their friends over to have a drink there... big business!

If his phone is turned off a lot...red signal.

If he asks for money, or starts talking about money problems when you are not that long together...red signal. Ofcourse, if you are together for a long time it´s normal that you share these kind of problems... I complain about my phonebill to my askim a lot too But I don´t expect him to pay it for me, and it works the other way around too.

If he says I love you on the first day...red signal... that means he says it a lot, and easily, and probably not only to you.

I think you can think of a lot of other red signals yourself too.

Good signals...if he is not the don juan type If he takes you to his family after a while, especially his mom. If he is interested in the things that are happening in your life, and if he tells you private stuff about himself that he doesn´t tell others. Also good, if you are very poor and he knows it If you are about the same age is also a good signal. And people say language can be overcome... well, I think that´s a bit strange... I think language is very important! If you don´t understand eachother, then ask yourself why did you get together in the first place?! Than your relationship must be based on something other then personalities or intellectual connection...what is left is sex, money, and visa

I do...why would I say "I working in London"...or the more common mistake "I´m working in London" if that´s not what I mean I work in Rotterdam, thank you very much, but right no I AM working somewhere else

I spend a few weeks in Turkey for Ramadan (or Ramazan) before I had to leave for my work. And now I get hungry at 4 o clock at night... and can´t sleep

I don´t like eating alone, so during ramadan I ate two times together with my partner. It didn´t change him much. He actually still goes to the gym! We still took our daytrips, only not to the beach (to hot and sunny during the day, will make him too thirsty). The weird thing was when we said goodbye at the airport and in stead of our usual smooch he had to give me a kiss on the forhead.

A friend of mine did change though. He looks horrible, and has no energy. And he complaints a LOT. I guess it makes a difference on how people react themselves to vasting. The friend smokes, so not smoking makes him grumpy...and he´s a bit of a sweet tooth, normally chowing down food all day. So we didn´t spend much fun time together.

I did ramazan for a week or so untill my boyfriend forced me to drink. I didn´t want to, wasn´t thirsty at all, but he was afraid i would dry myself out for his sake
