I have met a wonderful Asian lady on another free datings site. Communcation by Skype and mail was excellent, and after a few months I decised to travel there to visit her, beacuse I was sure she likes me. It was a wonderful time, incredible, my first visit to Asia, she was very nice and caring, we were totally in love. But after a few weeks my return flight was set, the visa over and I had to go. We promised each other to be loyal and that we meet up in August in Germany, I started to do the paperwork for that immedeately. But just after one week she said that after consulting with a good friend she decided to stop the relation becasue of different character and culture. This was a shock, I think it takes me so long to recover fro this. Does true love mean anything to them? Can the so easily be manipulated by friends or family?
Love is only a small part of this. Family and community are more important, than individual love.
I don't think she is manipulated at all. She is likely a dutiful daughter. There is a lot to be said of her "asian" culture although most countries in Asia are quite diverse and different and I don't know which one, she belongs to.

Perhaps, she was afraid of her moving away from her culture. Why don’t you move to her place?

Bitte nicht alle ueber einen Kamm scheren, gell. Her being Asian has nothing to do with what happened. In fact, consider yourself lucky. She is actually doing you a favor !! Many people who move to a very different culture end up living in unhappy marriages. The German culture is VERY different from any Asian culture. This woman did the right thing by recognizing that there is more to life than just the "one" person. If it is easy for you to live in another country/culture, then perhaps you might have suggested that you move to her country. Not every person has the strength to go far away without family support (does she speak/write German?)... all in all, consider yourself lucky that she broke it off sooner rather than later.

Listen, I have also had a very similar experience like this but it was not in Asia. It can happen. It happens too much for my liking but it does. And I know of the same happening with some women as well. I think it is just a part of being single. Maybe next time you have that connection it will be stronger. Can you imagine of you might have been right there for a longer time and maybe even made some serious commitments? and then say this same uncertainty arises? That would really such in a bad way. So maybe she is just not ready or not as serious. But not just one culture or one gender. It happens.
I would not pack up my life and move halfways around the world to be with a virtual stranger that easily either, and I am not Asian.
Maybe, your friend, like me, doesn't believe 'true love' happens just like that. That the most you did was Like/Lust each other?
Love and feelings take time to develop, which is why LDRs are so difficult.
There are also the practical reasons ,-leaving your life, culture, family and friends is a huge,huge thing, and cannot be done lightly. It is leaving everything you have ever known. To be with one person, amongst strangers
Your friend possibly looked at all angles of this before making her decision. No matter how heavily it weighed on her mind, it was probably the best one for her at that moment in time.

Where is Asia? As the location of your lady friend has a huge bearing on why she changed her mind.
You have met the love with an Asia girl, you are not alone. Yeas they are not as the girls at home. I have been married for 23 years, the day I decided to divorcé was an difficult act for me. Its now some years ago but it has take many years to be free from her. They have an complete different way to think about the economy. Its only few man how can go on a longer time with it. Wish you good luck in the future, better for you to forget her fast and not think to much about them in the future.

A unknown friend from Sweden. Olaf.
Your difference in how you see the economy was the problem?
OP, iy may or may not have anything to do with her being Asian. Her culture may be traditional, or is she perhaps simply quite young and possibly too young for you and the kind of situation you wish to have?
Many young ladies are afraid to leave home irrespective of race or culture. She might have met someone else, or maybe her family did not approve. Hard to say. Try asking her
That's sad! Not all of them is like that. Filipinas are known for being caring, loving and at times submissive. Sorry to hear that, but not all are the same, not only asians.
You're clearly not the highest bidder. It's not the fact that she's Asian per se, but the fact that you are a White(and presumably older)man and she is an Asian woman. And although in general Asian women cannot afford to be as romantic or tingle-driven as White women and need to be more practical and sensible, the pragmatic ulterior motives of the Asian woman become much more pronounced when you are the wealthier white man.

Hundreds of years ago when the West was a lot poorer what we consider romance today was reserved for the aristocracy - Romeo & Juliet were aristocrats for example. It was a luxury to be able to follows one's heart/tingle without considering much more practical concerns.
The non-white world doesn't have the wealth of luxury that we do, and so their cultures have a different attitude towards commitment and love which may not be so visceral and heartfelt, but it's much more likely to last. The non-white woman's relationship with a man is much more based upon practical necessity, and the White woman's relation is based upon fickle desire and(oftentimes)outright irresponsibility.
Oi! I'll cut you a break with your sense of humor... but don't be lead down the path of way-off base humor like the crazy poster Obst before you.
Read a few of his posts and it is the same ole, same ole drivel that is neither funny nor positive for women the world wide. This style of humor doesn't suit you and they are not the "good old boys" you want to hang your humor with. I get your humorous attempt, and I think you have the ability to up your humorous standards in your post.
lol When I told my Grandfather nearly 15years ago that I was dating a Chinese woman he basically turned to me and said similar in a questioning tone. The dirty auld bollix. (RIP)
