After all the not my place to say, how can I tell from a brief post, yadda, yadda -- here's my two impressions:

1. If there's "red flags" up, follow your intuitions. I agree with the "too soon for me" advice.

2. I've encountered a number of foreign men. The first time was in college; an exchange student from a very insular culture was trying to convince me I'd make a great model. Even naive little me knew this was line. When he left, two older coeds -- complete strangers to me -- came over and said: Men from this culture believe American women are *****s. There have been a number of rapes on campus involving this ethnic group. Be careful! As I was from a small town in Big Bad Manhattan as a frosh, I was very grateful

Another time, a legitimate civic group asked for young women to serve as hostesses for some international junior sailors -- yachtsmen, if I recall correctly -- and pretty soon the guy was all over me and insulted when I didn't put out -- because he'd always heard US girls were easy.

There's other instances -- can't go on.

What I've learned from encounters is that the impression that U.S. women are loose is NOT limited to one particular ethnic group, and the more completely different the culture is from ours -- in particular, the more sexually repressed -- the more likely the man is to make unseemly sexual advances. Unseemly to me, that is. To put it bluntly, they want sex from me, they are not interested in a long-term intimate relationship.

The man I spent the last 15 years with was previously married to a Taiwanese woman and lived there. The guys feel pretty free to go out and get a haircut and oral sex -- there are actually places that offer both, like American "massage parlors" -- but they do not desire licentious behavior in the women they marry.

As the coeds said to me so many years ago: Be careful.
