from what i have been seen its disrespectful to show any form of affection in front of parents..but i'm not sure if saying 'seni seviyorum' is included in that..

As far as i seen and experienced, the turkish boys/men are reserved in showing or expressing affection towards their girlfriend in public places or in the presence of family..

I have to disagree with you Robyn, as it is not a general rule in Turkiye or in another country..In some cases, meeting the parents means that the relationship is serious and maybe its leading to marriage..but i know a case when the girl met the boy's parents and few months later, they broke up..I think we shouldn't generalize things that we don't know, as each person is different than another one, so are the relationships
Anyway, Vickysmith, i wish you all the happiness in the world and the best!

Ohh my dear Robyn, it seems that everywhere i post a reply, you are there also  And bytheway dear, i wasnt talking about me in that topic, it is about one of my best friends, if you really want to know all the details
I hoped that you have forgotten our previous talks, but it seems that you didnt  But if you really need everybody to agree with you, than for this topic's sake and our's, this time i will make an exception and i will agree with you..if this makes you feel better!!
And should we start a separate topic again referring to turkish men??I am begging you, let's not generalize about people and things...My previous reply was my opinion, and yours expressed your point of view, so i think Vickysmith will be the one to discover on her own how are things in
real life as she received 2 different opinions..don't you think so??
P.S.:Im in no mood for feuds today!! And i hoped you kept your fingers crossed for me to meet the perfect turkish man!! :-S

Guys,this is the language Forum,not the Off Topics!

Also be VERY nice to the mother...this might be very helpful we know how mothers love their adorable sons

I agree PDA's or public displays of affection are not a particularly good idea in my opinion.I guess to a degree in depends on the family and how relaxed or liberal they are but in general i wouldnt start kissing,touching too much etc in front of family members or in really public places.This is what i have found anyway but of course it depends on the parents and yes thats great advice be very very nice to the mother!

I met someone on my holiday and he took me to see his mum, and now we hardly talk. so I dont think u can generalise and say that if a turkish man lets u meet his mother then they are serious about you....

I hadnt took my ex-gf to my mum,but others had met...then it didnt worked..I think taking a girl to introduce with your mum is better way to have her :

it depends on family, and turkish man,in general turkish men dont show their love in front of family...I have never thought about it but it must be coz of respect,or triditional...
