We must prepare him for the worst. What are friends for?

You are right, guys but reading his posts I came to conclusion he won't need to be prepared for worse(I wish it will be the way he wants).

Yes Qdemir, you are right, that's my negative side of personality and it is to late to change.

Don't have anything against that. It will be more pleasant when both sides use them.
Wish you all luck in that business.

That's very true.
I don't think there are couples who don't experience that.

If PM does not work for a while I think I will become very active in forums.
Just kidding.

I do my best to learn this lovely poetic language to read all the poems in original.

It is little scary to be in forums though.

PS Sorry, forgot to thank you for the compliment.

Unfortunately not at all but it is my goal for the near future.
You are right regarding reading the poems in every language as I know from few. Hope it will work with Turkish.
Actually have to be positive to get closer to that goal.

The amusing phrases above are male related, sadly my Turkish is not so good, so perhaps some kind lady who speaks Turkish can come up with some 'useful' excuses, sorry phrases, for the ladies! (I forgot, we don't make excuses )

Actually its really sad some people felt that those phrases are necessary for the daily speech of a man.
