[quote=AMPILOT,358710]Thanks all. . I have not crossed the line yet. I think I understand what's going on with me, but I would like some insight into what may be going on with her. Let me tell a few things about her. First, she is from Fuzhou and in her late 20s. A university graduate, she is very sharp, well spoken, and understands surprisingly well American colloquial speech- I don't have to talk slowly or precisely in standard English, I can use all the contractions, idioms, and rapid word run-ons the members of our tribe sometimes use. How she got out of China I am not 100% clear on, she said she got an interview with an international resorts operator and they hired her to work as a section manager in one of the more upscale hotels in the Cayman Islands and had some crazy travel route to get there. Later, she applied for and was given a job at a 5 star restaurant in one of the Windward Islands. There are very few Chinese there, at least that I could see. I know to the north in Antigua quite a few Chinese entered with construction companies, and then sort of stayed around after the job was done, and I guess there was little to be done except let them stay there. She lives alone, works very long hours. She is better paid than the locals, but she does not make as much as she might say in the UK - she says she has had a few offers to go there. All of the moving around and offers of employment may sound a little improbable, but my sister in law also had a degree in hospitality management, she used to work in that industry too, and if you're good and get to know people, which she did, likewise got to roam around the Caribbean working at the finer hotels. When asked about the future, she does not mention getting married and raising a family. She talks of places all over the world and her desire to seem them all. I think that's what first attracted to me to her, as in her enthusiasm and dreams I recognized somebody who was the exact same way, a long time ago, namely me. I assess her as a very independent, self directed and capable young lady. She has a certain sensitivity about things and people and relationships but I think she guards it. She does not throw herself at me, or phone or email all the time, but welcomes every overture I make. NOw, why on earth is she attracted to me? My feeling is she is alone, works too hard, has her eyes set on places far over the horizon, and wants some comfort and special friendship from someone she thinks won't tie her down. Well that would be me. However, I also wonder if this smart, goal directed lady isn't reeling me in like a fish on a hook....[/quote]
