Often the press slate foreign men for being here and stealing jobs and not learning English fluently and not dressing properly, but I think this is just trash, I don't see any resons why we shouldn't date them. Moreoever, dating a foreigner it's an opportunity to learn about new culture, to study the language....

I'd happily date someone foreign so long as his morals were good... as well as everything else needed for a successful relationship.

Actaully I prefer foreign men. Purely because of the accent, it doesn't even necessarily have to be foreign, welsh would do it for me, or a geordie You can't deny a nice accent is a turn on

Randy, u're absolutely right - no one American or European girl would easily accept their customs and their way of life unless this is her greatest love.

My mother dated a foreigner and in a result I was born, but soon after that they got divorced... I've never asked why, but suppose one of the reasons was the dofference in their cultures...

A lot of young girls just dream of a beutiful reach foreigner who'll come and take them away into a new happy life, but this is a myth. Be very cautious, sometimes cultural differences can be really insurmountable!

i could never imagine myself dating with foreigner and have never aimed to it,but it happened in my life and i fell in love with him.If somebody told me about in advance i wouldn't have believed.We are from quite different cultures,countries(i'm from Eastern Europe but he is from Western) and also it is too difficult to feel myself downright stupid when i couldn't speak any English.Also i want to say i'm not that kind of gils who are looking for foreign sugar daddy , i have everything in my home country for stable normal life.But this ''everything'' lost meaning when i'm without him.
