Ur theory is absolutely true, in my opinion, but I didn't meet Turks in such places. They wanted for example go to Poland, so they were looking for Polish girl (u must know that to go to Poland, Turk must get special visa and be oficially invited by a Polish living in Poland) Their testosteron level was obviously veeery high
However, I know also much different Turkish boys, who are normal like everyone and they are really great as just people!

Also according to what u wrote, I heard a story from a fried who fell in love with turkish guy, they decided to be together in a distance relationship, but they were visiting each other very often. After two years they make a decision about living together, so she moved in to his apartment. After about a month he intreoduced her his turkish girlfrien who he'd been meeting for almost three years! What is more, that turkish girl knew about it all the time and she didn't say anything! My friend cound't accept this kind of "triangle" relationship and she went back home...

Hmm... I have heard myself about something like this. I think that in the end, most of the Turkish 'Cassanovas' will marry the turkish girlfriend that they are expected to marry by their families. This is what I also meant about the meaning of the word 'love' - Turkish boys, once they marry, are (to begin with) devoted to their wives and 'love' then has a different meaning. More dutiful somehow. Turkish girls also have different expectations of their husbands it seems to me. They use the word 'love', but there is something about duty. They expect certain behaviours from their husbands and vice versa, but I also know of many failed Turkish (traditional) marriages where the husband has finally run off with another woman after lots of 'womanising' and settled finally into a long lasting relationship with the new woman.

Isn't it sad? It's also or even mainly connected with Muslim religion, where the marriage is not a sacrament but a kind of contract between two people.

Yes, you have put that very well I think. A contract - exactly. You have put it better than me Serticio. That's what I meant about expectations. They both know what to expect because the 'contract' is clear from the start, and I think that in the beginning these contractual obligations are considered to be a kind of 'love'. Not romantic love though. Its sad but interesting. I also know Turkish couples who have this kind of marriage and they are very very happy. I think when it works this kind of marriage has a lot of goodness about it. When a Turkish husband is devoted, kind and sticks to his side of the 'contract' it is a very powerful thing, but I am sad for the women who do not have this type of a husband. it must be very hard for them, especially if they are beaten and kept short of money.

I've been with some Turkish guys and except one, they were all the same and although I liked them, I shouldn't have bothered. I agree with the tourist workers theories, I don't think all Turkish guys are like that but it's true that some are and it's as much down to the way the little girls act when they go out there. I was young and stupid once (god how old do i sound, Im only 20 now!)

Now I'm in love and going to marry a great English guy. My days of falling for Turks are behind me, long behind me. (Also just to clarify, my interest in Turkey as a place began when I was a kid, its not just cos I once had a "turkish boyfriend")

As for the love thing...
If you love someone, just tell them. It's best to do that BUT ALSO...
Make sure you really do love them, make sure you're absolutely sure how you feel because if not, one or both of you could get hurt. Especially if it's your first love.

There are no set rules, I don't claim to be the authority, its just how I see it.

Just treat the one you love in such as way that shows how much you care, be sincere, and be yourself.

well...love...it's a big thing...

I don't know what to say but sometimes it amazes me how strong the power of love can be...sometimes it just takes my breath away...

Oh,dammit....

I have never fell in love,and worse,the words "seni seviyorum" never came out from my mouth together...

why could it be???

To be in love is both the best thing and the worst thing...

You have never before been so vulnerable as you been when you are in love...

Attila, your turn will come! Be careful what you wish for. As someone has said already, being in love is the best thing and also the worst thing.

someone I know very well (a turkish boy actually) has said that

"If you have no girlfriend, then you have a problem. If you have a girlfriend, then you have lots of problems!" This philosophy is bitter sweet and applies to boys as well as girls!

Love can make you crazy. Happy one minute, very sad the next. Up and down. All of your thoughts are about The One. Nothing else matters and they are the first person you think of when you wake up and the last person you think of before you sleep. Your whole existence is ruled by them and their behaviour to you. It is wonderful and terrible at the same time.

Lyndie, I absolutely agree with you!
