Dating Turkish Men

That's not a Turkish thing, that's a player thing. OK? If some man played me with those sorry lines I would tell him to step off and just leave. Let him stew. He only does it because he knows he can and he knows you love him. Like Joni Mitchell sings: "DON'T GIVE YOURSELF AWAY." It's not a Turkish thing - any guy with half a brain cell can tell when you're desperate. Not because you can't or haven't gotten another guy but that you are desperate for THEM. If you treated him despicably, tortured him by not calling, blowing off those bait and switch questions/comments you'd have infuriated him and made him desperately in love with you because you cannot be manipulated. Take it from a Greek girl - Greek men are THE SAME WAY. It's got nothing to do with religion, it's got everything to do with the fact they're man whores. It takes a woman who can see through it and torture them with their own devices who wins them.
