[quote=GUEST22205,498291]My new partner is a young Chinese (under 30). My name is Neil. Never considered Chinese for a partner in the past, just never a fancy. But, hey, I've been caught hook, line and sinker. I'll tell you my take on first hand knowledge of romance, friendship, traits of Chinese people in general. Of course every country has good eggs and bad eggs, so don't slate me for my opinion. After all, it is in general terms.

Common words in our conversation set the tone for me, as to the direction of future and sharing between partner, and friends: passion, romance, no God, good leaders, our future, love, cute, fashion, others wants, others needs, comparing wants and needs, putting other peoples thoughts first, collective, together, forever, ''first, last and only'',  humble, I try, maybe you can say?, fallable, strive for perfection, know I am not perfect, not intelligent (when obvioulsy a diploma student etc), happy, darling, love, dream, I'm sorry for not living to your expectation, what is my punishment?, ashamed, humility, you are perfect for me, care, protection, beauty in nature, I'm not good, respect, dignity, don't talk too much, don't wear out the words 'i love you' as they may become grey and lost, BIG, dependable.....

Doesn't it paint a picture? Completely sweet and so not European or American! If you could live a dream for a day, and just have a non-political, non-judgemental (except for oneself), caring and sharing day, a dinner, with someone you love or someone as a friend who will put your opinion first (unless your being obtuse). You would do so much worse if you didn't pick a Chinese person and went European.

I'm generalising from my experiences. Of course all nations have wars, human rights issues, and grief in some form. We are all different, and that is what should help us understand and love each culture.[/quote]
