Your opinions, please........
I was just thinking of a possibly useful aid for farangs who meet Thais and want to see them more than once.. First, the common problems
would include (and some help here would be great),
1- Calling on the telephone many many times a day and keep calling even if calls are ignored..
2- Calling at hours when one is surely sleeping...
3- Showing up uninvited and again at any hour, even 5 or 6 AM, without apology..
4- Telling you that they love you (or some variation) the first time you are together and want to be your bf..
5- Telling you they cannot pay the rent, the mobile is in the shop, sickness in the family, and expecting it to be your problem..
6- Pestering you for small change or 20B. notes every time you see them..Always for food...
7- Being late or not showing up at all and not calling...
8- Eating right before you want to go with them for dinner
9- Eating right after you buy a relatively expensive dinner they don't like
10- Commenting when you pass a goldshop or mobile phone store and just wanting to take a look..
I am sure the list could go on a while but the idea is to have a list of things you don't like or don't want the boy to do or say..
It would be in Thai and English and perhaps one could check off the items or cross out the ones that apply or don't apply.. At least this
way the boys would understand from the start that you are or are not an ATM, you are or are not going to be a sugar daddy, you are or are not
happy with calls and visits at any hour and that you are or are not looking for a boyfriend etc...
Perhaps, SPICE mag could do this and when one meets someone of interest, we could get thru the language and cultural barriers and
avoid some of the irritating aspects of paradise..
Of course, some effort should be made to make this polite or humourous as saving face is important and being rude is so boring.... :cat:
