Title: Asian Dating ? Find Asian Singles at Your Fingertips

My way-Asian way

Now Ray did it his way-he wasn’t young, nor rich, nor was he good-looking. He was just like everyone else; an ordinary guy struggling through life’s journey. Work to live and live to work. As for girls, a string of failed relationships left him disillusioned with the women he’d met back home-not that there were many girls around in the town that he’d come from. He wanted to forget all that and concentrate on himself, he wanted to forget women altogether-for while anyhow.

So he came to Thailand, initially with the idea of some form of enlightenment. Back in his own country he saved up as much as possible, quit his job and entered the Kingdom as he had always dreamed of. The Kingdom of Siam, better know nowadays as Thailand; the names themselves muster exotic images of a fruitful land of plenty-a combination of images-where the “King and I”, robed Buddhist monks, lotus leaves and all the splendor of Siamese culture is rolled into one mystical dream world.

Asian life-two months later

It was not what Ray had planned or expected, it “suddenly happened”.  He came out of his rented condominium in Suhkumvit one morning to buy his usual Bangkok Post  newspaper. Still feeling a little bleary eyed as he entered the small kiosk off one of the Sois, he honed in on the last remaining newspaper and by some strange miracle, seemed to grab the paper simultaneously with someone else. The other hand was a beautiful slender hand with perfectly shaped nails, a singular gold ring on the left little finger.  Her face was light brown with almond oriental eyes smiling at him. They gazed at each other for what seemed an eternity. “I’m sorry. You take it” he said. “No, you have it, you were first” she insisted.  And there it was, the scene was set, Asian love.  Ray hadn’t come to Thailand to meet any women, let alone Asian women. His failed relationships and luckless dating back home had caused him aversion to all women, until now that is. Now life was beautiful, a joy to live and love as he had never experienced. Nantana and Ray were engaged to be married within the space of 6 months. They vowed transparency, and committed themselves to truth. All was well- until the one truth was about to destroy all. Before they met, Nan had been registered on an Asian singles dating agency called sweetsingles.com. She’d forgotten about the site and hadn’t bothered to check her email for months so a stream of emails from “other men” had been building up. It appeared to Ray that she’d tried to conceal all of this and fuelled by his sudden jealousy, he flew into a rage- and out of the apartment. Ray was gone-gone for while at least. He finally returned after he had time to reflect on how irrational he had been. Tail between his legs, he returned to apologize. They made up.

Romance and Technology

Some say that the world isn’t ready for high-tech romances such as online dating, singles-intro and marriage-by-data. Some shy away from it and others, like Ray, still feel it holds an air of smut and illegality about it. Yet, millions register and millions meet and marry. Today the word is changing. Cross-cultural and technological borders are being broken down and millions across the world from Asia to America are successfully meeting their soul mates. Companies such as sweetsingles.com offer free registration allowing members to view and contact their prospective soul mates from all over the world. There’s a whole world out there, and discovery is at your fingertips.
