I wouldn't mind. Yes, imagine, tom kha kai and mämmi for dessert
Maybe I should go to Thailand as well, problem is I probably wouldn't want to come back.
Cheers, Hank W.

right... as in your being an (censored)
what is the qualification of a boyfriend then?
Odon: Yeah, I wonder how they can tell everything about us just knowing our nationalities and age... Those things don't matter, our thoughts and actions on the other hand might tell something.

Do what you want. Just be sure of what you want first.

I'll do what I see is best.
3 days of listening to you almost got me depressed.
But also I have had the flu at the same time.
I guess I can now kinda see how my family is going to react.
But I'll tell them when I'm sure of what I'm going to do.

I have seen people finding others by internet chat and meeting and flying across continents and finding true love, so you will not be the first, and not the last, for those skeptics....do u want a normal life? walk the same path that your parents and forefathers took? I think in some of us there is this sence of adventure and want to beleive in love and all that....parents...they have to accept you for who and what u are. not for who u choose as your bf or hubby. As i say you only live for your happiness , not for others.
i say goodluck and hope things become more clear with time.

So, I can call him my boyfriend after I have met him face to face? So I call him just a friend now? or what?
My parents are getting kind of used to me being "different".
I'm the youngest and the only one of us siblings who didn't stay in our home town to study to be an engineer...
But still they're not very open minded. Atleast what I expect from my mom is either she is just concerned for me or she gets really angry and tells me to get lost... Dad is surely not going to get angry, just worried.
My brothers are going to think I've lost it, and my sister is more like dad.
I know a couple of couples who met on the internet for the first time and have been together for years, but they were all finns.
wow, this thread is already 6 pages and only like 4 days since I started it...

I was "different", too. And that was 35 years ago. But it was enough excitement for me to pack my bag, jump into a Sweden-boat, jump a train, and travel around Europe doing odd jobs and studying odd subjects here and there, and return to Finland after four years when I realized that I have do something more useful for a change.
I didn´t have to marry a guy from a very different culture. A culture that most certainly does not have any understanding of "different" western women.

And to put this into a really grim side: Lets assume that you marry and have children. I hope you are aware that in a case of divorce those children are his, and his alone.

right, and did you read anything I said?
"I" actually have not done anything so that people "would" see me as "different". It's just me. I'm not like my sibling but I don't go running around Europe trying to figure out what I want or need...
See how it feels when someone says something about you that is based on just a bit of your life and who you are...
sorry, if I hurt your feelings.

This thread reminds me so much to the other thread on this forum "Are Finnish woman obstinat"...or something like that
Sorry, but this is a very good example! We should link these 2 threads to each other

I did, I just didn´t mention it.

Well, no need to say sorry. I am way too old, and my feelings need a ton more weight before they are hurt. And that is just it. People here are trying to save you from that ton. But you are not listening.
