Response to good Turkish men

Submitted by cheryl (United States), Mar 15, 2007 at 21:31

Hi, I just wanted to say that I have been dating a Turkish man for about 3 months. So far it has been great. He treats me like a queen. He is US citizen and a Veteran. I have never dated a Turkish man and what a difference in the way a woman is treated. I have had good and bad relationships. This is in every culture and all around the world. I stay up at night with him, learning his culture and country. What a beautiful place. I am a very lucky woman.

I have met his friends here at home and from Turkey. He has told me about his life, up bringing and many other things. We do not live together yet. I say yet because I want to. Their culture is not what people think. He wants to be able to support me and I don't care about that. I work and maintain my own life. I have been nothing but treated with respect by him so far. He has not given me any reason to not beleive in him. He is Moslim. If you understand the culture at all, you will understand that they believe the same things Christians do, some things are different but keep and open mind to them. There is so much history there.

Maybe for all of you who are questioning the relationship, should not be in it. If you are questioning about there culture. Research it. Then make your decisions about them. They are human beings, you might not have found the right person for you. If you are really interested in him, learn about him. It does not hurt to learn new things. I hope that this inspires some of you. I have not know him long but I will say one thing. He is beautiful in everyway. Even if we weren't together. I would always be his friend. That does come first.
