I recently met a Vietnamese girl here in America. We met by chance on public transit. She said she has only been here for 8 months and is learning English at local university. We live in same area and so started taking nightly walks together. We have been visiting every night for two weeks. We started holding hands a couple of days ago. i leaned in to kiss her then and she explained her tradition is and she is shy. I told her I respect her tradition. Last night we kissed for the first time.
AS I consider this relationship I am curious about a few things. I have several Asian friends and they said to be careful she doesn't want to just get a green card. (I know she already has a license and social security card here as well as a job (In a nail saloon). Also my more traditional friend said it is unusal she has never married because she is 38. She swears she never married.
She has been very caring nice, and seems very sincere. While we were together last night sitting and being close on private beach she received a call and got up and walked a little bit away. I could still here the conversation and she was friendly and laughed a little. The conversation was long before she said good bye and hung up. I asked who it was because she spoke english to them. She said it was her friend from university. My question is if she likes me and is with me is it normal for her to take a call from a guy friend in the middle of our time together. I personally would never answer a call while on a date from a friend and would just call them later.
She said she told her mom about me (her mom is still in Vietnam). Her mom says she is happy she met me which she said made her happier. We have several pictures together and last night she said she only wants to date me and called me her boyfriend. I asked if I could post a picture of us on facebook and tag her. She asked me to wait. I am her only non-Vietnamese person on facebook.
I do not want to think only with my American thoughts on this or read to much into it. She has not asked me to spend money on her and seems humbled for a small gift I gave her last night.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
