Hi all,
Do other members have any thoughts on what their friends and family think about their lovely new Chinese wife/girlfriend?
As far as my new Chinese lovely is concerned, my family is distinctly, er, I think the phrase I'm looking for is "meh".
My mother would love grandchildren, although she doesn't seem to be that interested in her existing granddaughter, let alone more of them. She is glad I am not looking for a Thai girlfriend, even though I have explained that they're not all hookers.
My father is in complete denial about the whole thing, he maybe thinks she is just an Internet thing and not a real person.
My sister is quite excited, and my niece loves the idea.
My brother thinks that getting engaged to somebody you've just met on the Internet is insane, although he is not getting married until 2012 and will no doubt waste $1000's on the wedding, which to me sounds just as crazy.
Male friends are unsure what to think as well, I think they're worried about scammers. Women love talking about relationships so they're cool with it. They may be less than cool when they realise my Chinese lady has a figure they'd kill for.
To be honest though, I am a bid fed up with most of my own friends and family, and I am excited about my new prospective Chinese family plus new friends I am making along the way. I guess it would make a subsquent move to Asia much easier though. My prospective mother in law is from Shanghai, and that is an impossibly exciting and exotic prospect for me :icon_cheesygrin:.
