Yes, I was pretty wrapt as I was going through that awful phase that you get in an early stage of your relationship where you ask yourself 'Is she for real or is she an 'evil Thai' that is trying to rip me off for big dollars.'
I am pleased to say that she was genuine and reading the book gave me an insight into her mindset and by her reading it to allowed her to understand why when I said I was happy to meet her mother that I meant just that - not that I wanted to marry her immediately!
It allowed us to raise issues such as money and family without anyone getting offended or judgemental.
Also I found it disconcerting that she wanted to marry me YET not let her friends meet me at this stage. This I found out was because Thai girls are supposed to go through a complicated long winded 'courtship' stage where they only smile at the object of their affection then slowly progress to more and more talking etc. Even though she was sure she wanted to marry me she thought that the Thais would think that she was too promiscuous if she announced anything at this stage of the relationship.
I hope all forum members find a 'real keeper' TG and get to experience romance Thai style....it makes such a nice change from the Western affirmative action 'women's lib' type relationship (ordering around) that I have experienced till now!
