I have a question for the lady,s !!!!

here,s the situration!!..i met a vietnamese lady over five years ago...who asked me for coffee...ok i excepted...now this person lives in another state....form me...i,m fine with that...
she spent six months working with me in a kitchen and we got on fine and started seeing more of each other...she often came down to viset her family here so ..we would catch up when she came down..now as time has gone went on i was under the impression that she wanted more from me ...so i started buying expensive gives ..she often ask me for my help ...as well...so on her birthdays i would buy for exsample a handbag...etc...and she would also buy me birthday gives as well..but notto the same exsent....now 5 years later ..after everything that i have done for her she has stop calling me ...return messagers etc...she also has said many times that we are just friends ...i,m fine with that ...as she is very warm and caring person....BUT! am i wrong in thinking ...that she would have known from the expensive gifts that i would think more off THIS situration...am i reading my feelings wrong ...am i to nice ..who,s fault is this ...i,m thinking it,s my fault for buying her attention...but when someone excepts gifts ..what AM I supose to think ...or anyone else...i wont go into to much regarding how much but if i waskeeping TAB lol...it,s well over 10,000..i have a feeling that i no what some of you will write ...what do i get from this situration ...will i learn that perhaps it,s better to not throw all your eggs into one basket...she also tells me that because her culture is so different to mine !!but even as friends i feel she is not making a effort..if you would call it that...i,m thi nking maybe i dont no how to let go of something that i have invested a lot..IN...she said many times that i need to understand her more OK...i try ...5 weeks she did not contact me .over christmas ..would a friend not say merry christmas ?...there is a big part saying in me that!! this is not right ...and feel i have done little wrong ...NOT sure !advice would be appreciated the saying it takes two to tango ...is on my mind now ....but i feel that much of this is ny fault ...thx market

Without wishing to hurt your feelings, Market... She has moved on, and my guess is she is not responding because she is in a relationship and does not want to compromise that relationship.

As for the gifts, I purchase gifts for my friends randomly, without an 'occasion' as an excuse... and they do the same for me. At no point have I ever taken it out of the context of friendship.

...sorry, I don't believe I am much help to you here.
Abagail i prefer you were straight to the point....i no what i am getting myself into here i expected that...lol....moving on is the point ..i am finding that hard ...to take in..i have not spoken to her in weeks but my mind is at the point were i feel i did nothing wrong ....lol thx and cheers
Market, I am not one to beat around the bush... that's why I work in the field I do. I am very sorry to hear you are hurting though... hug comfort
Sometimes even though we know the answer, we still ask the question... that's what we call 'hope'.

With time you will put this behind you, and make new friends.
Angelpepper...i,ll do that....cheers for comments ...thanks...
Abagail thats a great saying the hope,s the rope that keeps you in knots...lol
Ropes binding you is simply an illusion. They will eventually free you and you will move past this... With every door that closes, a window opens...bouquet
Abagail that reminds me open the windows ...but will clean first ....lol
Geez Market, if you are going to put a maids uniform on... My house needs cleaning too. grin
Abagail ME in a maids uniform ....now !!! ther,s a idea ..back in 5 lol
take this as an experience... sometimes we give too much, but you have to remember that when you are really giving you do it without expecting in return, if the other person has some care for you she will do it naturally without expecting anything... about her I can tell that too much time has passed and nothing happened between you guys so probably thats a burnt bridge, move on and next time try to impress a woman with being your sweet caring self, some of us appreaciate that more than gifts, this is only my humble opinion wave
You know Market. It sounds normal. Guy meets gal. He wants alot she doesn't. She wants to be friends and guy buys expensive gifts to sway her. Guy gets confused BECAUSE he wanted more and gal didn't.

I wouldn't worry about how you appear to yourself so no need to beat yourself up over it. Things like this happen all the time. And I would be just as nice to her and everyone because some lady is going to notice that and she's gonna nab you, grab you, and who knows what else!

Just move on and be patient.
Let this be a lesson for you that money can`t buy love.
Hi Mark

DIY yourself a gift.

...and relax.

It just was not your woman.

i don't think money is the issue here, i just think be4 she had a reason been with you and now she has another reason walking away from you, man girls always have reasons
i will tell u what u did to her is always there and she is not answering ur call or call u back because she still care about u but try to avoid u,................she is giving new life a shot
cheers from everyone regarding this ...thx heapscheers
Relationship of convenience I regret to say.. She was just using you. Lesson learned. Next time just be wiser.. & perhaps better stick with woman around your own age. I know as a younger woman I could never fall in love with an older man (10 yrs plus) wine
Hi Market,

Yes, I think Bella just about sums it up. If this girl was sincere she would have discouraged it when you bought her the type of gifts that she was not capable of returning (or not prepared to). When traffic is more in one direction it normally is a good telltale.

Sorry about how you feel, but life goes on. Ms Right will come along soon, I hope.
beer cheers
Hi Market, sorry to hear that are disappointed of how things worked out in that case.

I had a similar experience last night with someone I started making friends with and I had made clear I am not interested in a relationship with him. help It was an eye opener about the character of this person and makes me take a step backward by some of his reactions and comments.

I am polite but straight and some guys just ignore some parts of what I'm saying because it is not what they want to hear and then all I get from them when I tell them: "But I said that before!" is "I didn't think you actually meant that! doh I am learning from that and will make some thing absolutely clear even if it means to end communication with that person.

Be straight with people and say what you are expecting or hoping for. As with expensive gifts, I can only talk from my point of view, they make me uncomfortable. I would rather not receive anything from someone who isn't a long time friend or partner. I do bring little gifts for friends and their kids and that is something we do from both sides. wine

Hope you'll find what you're looking for. bouquet
Hi mark, im sorry to hear your hurting,been there done that, it sure does hurt, my advise 2 you is move on,time heals and it will get better, xx
Did you two ever talk about your feelings heart to heart? I got impression when she was telling you "we're just friends" actually she was waiting for you to develop your friendship more than that. Maybe she was waiting for you to make a move which she didn't see in 5 years. Well, I can't say this happens for Asian culture in general but women mostly tend to wait for the men first to make a move.

Hopefully a meet up to talk will do. Good luck.
