I understand what you're saying. He asked me if I want to live in Laos. I said, "Hell No. But you can you live with me here in the US."You are one person funny. hehe
Not to bash you on here but its quite interesting what you said here. i mean everyone do have a different perspective in life.
Don't want a traditional wedding? and why do you want to get married secretly? you want your man into culture and stuff, but your not. he's going to want a wedding, if he knows about life more than you. and why is it embarrassing to get married? lol your family is going to find out, if you ever bring him around anyway. hehe and like someone said above me, "Wedding is a beautiful thing/event there's nothing for you to be embarrassed about."
by the way, it's just not Hmong American guys that are mean, want to be right and argue for everything. as long as they are Hmong and are Men. They are all mean in their own evil way. lol
I find guys in laos talk perverted.. and the ones in the U.S just want booty. what the heck?
and of course, he's going to live with you when you two get married. no hmong lao guy will marry a hmong anerican girl and not come to the U.S. hey, if you were to tell your bf, you want to live with him in Laos, would he still date and talk nice to you? just a thought.
I rather not get married, but the problem is everybody is getting married--sisters, cousins, friends, they are left and married.
Anyway, men don't respect women if they are too naive or uneducated or simply have nothing to offer to them. Same with women, we wouldn't want any man who doesn't have anything to offer to us either. In a way, it's simply fair.
I definitely do not want a man to love me way too much to the point that he will come haunting me after he dies. LOL...
I tell ya. After seeing how much my grandmother went through, it was scary. My grandmother went crazy for a while. She started talking and cursing to something, which no one could see. I have an aunt who could see and tell about a person's past or future said that my grandmother was talking to her old boyfriend from ob peb tias tas los. He came back to get her because nkawv tau haus ntshas tev, etc... It was so scary. My grandmother is still talking to some unknown thing when she sleeps these days.
As for traditional wedding, I'm too embarrassed to have people come see me, so no traditional wedding or any kind. I'm not 18 anymore. So, the last 10 years of my girlhood already have been spent on thinking about many life issues.
I haven't met any Hmoob meskas who has done any good thing to me just yet. The first one I dated, he just wanted my money I guess. He never listened to me. All he wanted to do was play and play and play and play soccer. He put his fun before me.
Then I met someone and he said he liked me but ended up marrying within a couple of months just because I said I wasn't interested in him. At the end, he just wanted a wife. What the heck? I thought he was a nice and sincere guy.
I want to know someone from head to toe, from inside and out first before I say anything about like or love to that person. But a lot of men I met so far just wanted to start dating and falling in love without doing anything to get that love. They just wanted things quick and easy without much effort. All they can talk to you is just sweet words. I can't stand that. I want someone who has the brain to talk to me about many things from politics to love to dreams to family, etc...
This Hmoob nplog guy scares me a bit because I see that he is a better person than I am. He knows more about the world than I do, and he is always right. Other than that, he laughs at my jokes.
Something nice he has done for me: on Valentine's Day, he wrote and sang a song to me. He also has written and recorded a song for me too for my birthday recently. I don't usually trust men or probably has never trusted or cared much about men and their sweet words that they say to women, but I do trust this guy a little bit. Along our many conversations, I also said to him not to expect me to send him money, because I refuse. In addition to that, I told him that if he wants me, then he has to find a way to get me.
