If she does it once, it might be cultural differences about personal boundaries. Explain your boundary and your culture to her. If it repeats, then she has a trust issue and you can consider that a problem then :) Read More
There is a trustworthy Vietnam, for sure by thuy.le
Hi everyone, Recently I met a French girl from this forum. We ate and talked happily for about two hours. Then I asked her to go (she on her bike, me on my bike) around there to take a look at two resorts. She worked in tourism, so I thought it was ...
I think when we meet some new friend and want to take them somewhere, it is better to explain them clearly about the route and the places that you want to take them. Yes trust take time and two hours are nothing. Even I am a Vietnamese I would not ... Read More

About the topic of expats saying loving girls one day and running away when you ask for marriage. I don't think they are the bad guys at all, I think it is just a matter of culture differences. I am sure there are guys who mislead girls to believe ... Read More

I would say that pre-marital sex in Vietnam is a very complicated matter which is rarely discussed. You can see both ends of the spectrum here. Unlike Western women who do not have to carry any guilt about this matter, the emotions of Vietnam girls ... Read More
