Funny cultural fact

Living in another culture has been an amazing experience, that's quite obvious.

It's so interesting how things that people belonging to the different culture take for granted are clearly noticed as "strange" by the visitors. For us it's the same as if we were riding a car in a desert highway and an animal crossed it. It's a mix of scare, surprise, unexpectedness.

But what I'm here to talk about is quite simple. I've had two boyfriends in life. How is it that you start a serious relationship in Brazil? It's like a mutual agreement:

- Hey, Maria... I like you a lot.
* Me too, John.
- Maria, do you wanna be my girlfriend?
* :) Sure.

And both are "committed" to each other, in less then 30 seconds. That's clear and undoubtful.

I have a girl friend who was living here at the same period of time as me. We're in June and she met a guy in February. Since then, they'd been dating, going out, sleeping together... But in the middle of June she told me she didn't know wether she was his girlfriend or not, because he had never asked her.

WTF?? I went for a search. Here it's a bit more complicated. Can you imply if someone is your boyfriend or not? Difficult, huh? That's how it works here.

It's like stepping eggs. Maybe you'll consider him your boyfriend but he won't consider you his girlfriend. Then you're in trouble! LOL

When is it that you should stop kissing other people to "dedicate" time and feelings to the one you've been dating? GOOD LUCK!!!! When you find out, please drop me a message here! hahahahha.

Foot note: Don't take too long, because it's been three weeks I've kissed exclusively one.. I like him, it's worthy, but ... I don't know!! LOL
