Hi, I need help! I'd like to compliment the beauty of a close female friend of who is Turkish. It is my intention to make her see me in a new light perhaps.

Here is what I have so far:

Dear Leyla (not her real name) Hanim,

I took down the last message I wrote on your wall last weekend because it did not fully capture what I wanted to say. Here is what I really wanted to say:

Like the flowers you are named after that blossom in Spring, your beauty has blossomed as well—You were always beautiful, but now you have become even more beautiful since the last time I saw you.

It was good to see you

Take care,
Andrew

Does anyone see any potential problems with this message? Can anyone think of any more appropiate compliments? If this is good enough, could someone please translate it for me?

Thanks to everyone in advance!
Andrew

heyy andrew goodluck...i added sth while translating into turkish to complete the meaning...i hope you easily conquer her heart...i think you are good at this...good luck bye

mehmet ya... i see you are not like it to everyone :'(

Hi Drew,

I do hope you are successful in capturing that beautiful Turkish woman.

I believe you have to work hard at it. As they are very reticent. Someone might give you guidance on this aspect.

I'm sure you will get some help from the males in here, on how to get to know her.

also, many turkish girls tend to "treat them mean to keep them keen" so if she does this too... just keep trying, it will impress her and it means she likes you!!

Evet Miss Ceyda, I see you were being instigated.

I would like you to express how you feel trapped in a country with limitations. This would explain a lot to us foreigners about just seeing the surface of a country and how a female feels in Turkey.

Hi Miss Ceyda, thanks for explaining. I can sympathise with you. I think we have been to places and felt the same.

Are you in England studying English?

yeah i am.. my mother is english actually... and im still learning turkish !!! but for some reason when i go there i feel at peace with the world... like i actually belong somewhere...

offf allahım offf.... i wanna go home... someone save me from this cruel place..!!!

Dear Ceyda,
I can totally understand you.I am russian , living in USA.I know what you mean "i wanna go home...".
But be brave and strong.Be positive.See only good things.Try to do that.Try find in every situation in your life positive side.You'll see it will help you a lot.
There are so many bad things in life which do not depend where you live.Trust me.
By the way I saw your picture in the picture gallery.You are beautiful and only smile goes with that beautiful face.
I wish you all the best.
Take care.
With best regards Bliss

Hey Ceyda!

The Ceyda that I know is not a pessimistic girl. Yes, there are always times that we all feel down, but that doesn't mean that our future is not bright. And it's most likely to feel lost and miserable in the early ages. I'm older than you, but I have also the same feelings, because my life hasn't settled yet and not knowing exactly which direction to go makes someone unhappy.
There're so many young people that would want to live abroad, they think that happiness is outside.If you feel yourself belong to somewhere else, there's no nice place out of it. It looks that you've been grown up in a Turkish culture although you've spent your life in England.
But try to enjoy your multiculture, it's really a different thing to have parents from different cultures. I'm also half turkish ethnically, but if you ask what I feel, I feel like a Turk. You're always a bit different than others, so I think it's a good thing besides its disadvantages...
Don'T be pessimistic, life is full of surprises.
The years pass reallt fast, so don'T think that time for you to go to Turkey will never come. You can make plans to come to Turkey in the future.

Dear Ceyda,

Just think we have to live here all the time with grey skies.

I believe it is funnier living in Turkey than here in England as some Turkish man told me.

I would love to live in a country with blue skies and better weather, most of it all the year round. It is better for our happiness, as this is what sunshine does to us.

Hello girls,
There is sunshine in California almost all the time but ask people who live here.They have same problems as all the people around the world.Be happy and enjoy this short life on beautiful planet of Earth.Be thankful for everything you have , especially for your health.
Good luck!!!

Jda,
I'm sorry u feel so bad about staying in the UK, but try to make the best of it. Don't snap to decisions. You're still so young so do enjoy it. Think about it this way: maybe living in the UK gives you more opportunities than Turkey would. You may get a good education over there and then move to Turkey if that's where your heart belongs (and I guess it does after reading ur essay). Just, like Bliss said, keep your beautiful smile on and focus on some goals achievable in the UK. Whatever will be will be. Don't lose hope! As for fags....poor you
kendine iyi bak, her seyin iyi olacagindan eminim

Miss Ceyda,
I am sad that you are having such a horrible time in my country - it made unhappy to hear you say that because you seem such a lovely girl. At least you have many people who care about you on this site.

I sent her the message! Thanks to everyone for their advice and help.

If anyone has anything else to add, please let me know.

As for Miss Ceyda, focus on the opportunities available to you in the UK. Turkey is a wonderful place, but in the UK, you can become well-educated enough to one day relocate to Turkey and help in the advancement of its economic and socio-cultural spheres perhaps.

Anyways, I wish you the best!

Andrew

So sweet this request/forum lucky Beautifull lady she is I am sure!
take care

I wanted to say words are so special and mean a lot but my experience of true beauty I feel by a loving feeling which makes you feel beautifull by actions more than words sometimes

Peace

I am not a Turkish Lady though I feel it doesn't matter the culture when making someone feel beautifull we are all human, but if I am wrong and there is a certain way for these actions when speaking of Turkish ladies as I am curious.

So does that mean Turkey men have preferences to when being approached on a intimate or loving or caring way?

Take care

Hi Kelley!

I have the same, in my opinion interesting, question as you do. I thought it was universal laws ruling when it comes to this matter...but I might be wrong.

Please, turkish friends, let us know!
