Quoting mltm:

Quoting AEnigma III:



If you are out with your bf/gf socially, it is important that, although you arrive as a couple, you are attentive to other people to show respect. It is considered very good manners, for example, to slightly flirt with your friend's gf/bf as it is showing them attention If you are at a party it's completely acceptable to go and talk to other men and even flirt with them to a degree, just so long as you dont take things "too far" When I was out recently a friend of mine was actually complaining that her bf didn't flirt enough or pay enough attention to her friends!

A UK man would not DARE to refuse to let his gf go out on her own or with friends, or even away on holiday on her own. Any men that are "controlling" or too possessive are considered to need psychiatric help!




Wowwwwww!! I cannot decide if that's better or not, but that's very FOREIGN to me. I do not know if I can handle it.
In a party, ours do not leave your hand anytime, they even go to toilet with you.


I also find some parts of it strange - especially the "flirting with your friend's gf/bf". I don't think it's "normal" in the US. Certainly NOT in Poland!!! lol

Quoting lynda0090:

i have met a turkish man and we get on really well but he seems to have taken over my life. he decides what we eat and do. He's now gone back to his home town for 10 days. he phoned last night saying one of his friends will be round today to take me for a walk ( what's he think i am a dog). He seems very posessive. Is all this normal with turkish men or is he over the top. He's even talking about getting engaged when he comes back.

Very confused...Lynda



You mean he TRUST his friends to take you out for a walk? Honey, not only is he possessive of you but if you even think to get engaged and God forbit marry this man not only will you become his possession but everything you own becomes his. I speak from experience being myself once married to two different turkish men, but the same in every way.

Quoting turquoise:

actually people really dont know how to be friend,thats the first problem between them and they also dont know how to live together.

do you ask your friends to wear what u want them to or can u ask them to do everything you want? dont think so... cuz friendship makes you respect the people and each person has their own lifes and thoughts.by the way people do know each other and see if they can live together.so if someone doesnt treat you like you r his/her friend and doesnt make you feel safe how to be in love with them? as i always say if people cant be friends they can be nothing..



Yes, actually this is a good point. In the societies where male-female friendship are not very common and even sometimes forbidden, the males see females just as partners, so the only time they can get together is for a marriage intention. The two sexes do not know eachother very well on a friendship bases, so the feelings the males have for the females are rather possession. In the big cities (rather among the high educated), the male-female friendships are more common, so the possession is less but since the men cannot isolate himself from this culture which is dominant, he still has this over possession feeling.
