I have just started seeing someone from Turkey. He lives in the UK, but we have quite a language barrier at?

moment. I have no real knowledge of his culture. He seems very respectful...giving me flowers, holding doors open and and pulling out chairs for me etc. I just would like to know if anyone knows how Turkish men normally treat their partners? Am i in for a huge shock somewhere down the line if we get serious?



I don't want to be one of those silly girls that gets swept away with a bit of flattery and then used for a visa etc.



Please don't make judgemental comments, i am trying to keep an open mind and would like answers from people with personal knowledge, if possible. Thanks guys.

You can't really tell what a guy is going to be like just from where he comes from. Some guys are nice, some are just jerks. Language barriers are always annoying, but they do help you to think about what you're trying to say and how to say it, rather than just blabbing away about something you don't know.

This guy sounds sweet, so use your common sense and decide for yourself whether or not he's for real.

good luck
Reply:I have a turkish family in turkey, they start off by being nice as you have discribed, then they change, by that I mean they know that you love them, and they expect things like if they were back home. Men in turkey are like king of the family, what a man says goes. Woman are 2 stop in the house cook, clean, wash etc. When they walk down the street, they [woman] dont walk with the men, they walk about 100-200 yards behind. You decide if this is the life for you. also they are very controlling.When allsaid, they have different upbringing! Alot DO use English women for visa, cash, etc. But not all are like this, its the same in England, not allpeople are the same. Only you can decide.
