Traditions and Armenia, help me please...

[ArmoBarbi]

Your attitude is quite sweet, but come on. Would you even think a box could have some special traditional meaning if it was from an English girl? I understand youre being extra careful because this is a culture that youre not familiar with, but theres no such need. We are all people.

About what you should do in return...she went through the trouble of mentioning that Armenian men arent romantic - meaning that she is likely to find you romantic already and that she is a fan of romance. I would suggest being romantic, for more specific things just use your knowledge of her (hobbies, favorite things, etc).

I vote "no" on the question of them having met. Not that its a bad thing, we were just curious. Its very possible to be right about a person without having actually met them.

I met a guy online at 14 and we talked for months before he came here to see me. We ended up dating for over a year after that. He joined the army and was on base quite a lot of the time. Every time he could go away for a weekend he came to me instead of to his family and ended up proposing to me three years later.

Best of luck to you guys! I hope that it goes the way you want.

If you think that the box has a traditional meaning, you have been duped! GET IT GUYS??? DUP IS A BOX IN ARMENIAN! BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

[nunechka]

lol! yes baron thats lol!

and obi dont pay attention to the tough love we have here from the guys... i think its romantic to meet on valentines day... i agree with armobarbi, it doesnt matter if you have met, unless the other person is seriously ugly, then you have no problems...

no meaning in a dup (box) LOL, and there is good reason to think that there would be, considering that there are traditions in cultures that others woudl NEVER figure out, for example the number of flowers one gives for an occasion... in Armenian tradition if it is a happy occasion we give an ODD number of flowers, if it is a sad occasion we give an even number...

obi see this is good advice, dont give her an even number of flowers... make sure you give her an odd number of flowers... the only flowers that you should consider are roses (red), carnations (pink), or tulips (any color will do)... dont give her a medley of flowers...

you can learn to speak armenian (or just a few important words) like greetings/romantic words...

sorry guys, but in ARMENIA, the guys are not romatic... and in GLENDALE (Armenia 2) the guys are not romantic, and in Hollywood (Armenia 3) the guys are not romantic...

its not an insult, its true, now shape up and be sweet to us...

[!EEK]

sorry guys, but in ARMENIA, the guys are not romatic... and in GLENDALE (Armenia 2) [...] and in Hollywood (Armenia 3)

And in Belgium?

Oh yeah, nunechka gave a good suggestion, learn something romantic to say or write to her in Armenian. Once I learned how to say "I love you" in Estonian for an Estonian guy I liked and he really liked it. May not want to start with "I love you" lol, but something light and sweet would be appreciated, I promise.

by the way EEK, i associate ROMANCE more with FRENCH! then English...


i think of a dinner for two outside by a lake, with romantic music playing... YUM! i'd make him happy if he did that... like we'd meet in Paris, (the most romantic place on earth), we would go see historic places, then for dinner we would meet, and i would be wearing a beautiful dress, very short, very SEXY! and the candle light would dance with the romantic music as we would sit outside and enjoy each other more then any food they have ti serve (although they are the best in France), the wind would blow in my hair, and it would be all flowing and pretty, and he would run his fingers in my hair... and we would *kiss*

OHH! my GOD i am turning myself on, this is sooooooo.... mmm..... Romantic!

ohhhh obi, there is an awesome jazz restaurant in armenia, and they have small ponds where you can enjoy a ride in the water, i will post the name as soon as i get it...
or you can go to this place called "Jazvee" its a coffee place but they do have a kitchen and they serve food... the VIP lounge is pretty...

The dude wants to know what the box means. I believe in this world of FedEx, it is a good way to make sure your package gets there unharmed.

I myself am not good with love, being a 16yr old...but I can tell you one thing, girls are not static...meet with her and find out for yourself, that seems to be the only way to be sure. JUst try.

[SagGal]

P.S. She (SagGal) in my opinion gives good advice to some of the heartbroken lovers on this forum. I love how she does it in the sweetest way possible.

Aww, that put a smile on my face. I've heard this before, and now that you (someone who never really met me) said that, it put a smile on my face. Thanks girl.

Maybe the box contains anthrax.

We can only pray.

Once again, the Englishman arrives to save us from our lack of romance. Thank you Mr. English! If there's one thing Armenians have learned, it is to always trust the english.



Maybe the box contains anthrax.

sorry, did we ask you to trust us before??? I do not know when???

did we say the dictator hussain should be expelled, yes... was it for oil... yeah, whatever, but the french had that tied up well before... did the english go to Bosnia for oil, yeah,...errrm, no.... they only have rags, but we went alone. UN came after.... christian states we care for. muslim no. sorry if i offend.
