Making A Meaningfull Relationship, How Do You Do It

[Refer]

"Seriously, how do you guys that have monogamous LTRs with your Thai partners keep it fresh and interesting. Especially, considering the age, social-economic, educational, and cultural differences between the typical Thai and farang. I have met several nice boys in their early 20s in Thailand, one a cabaret show performer (male dancer not TS/TV) and another now who is a waiter in Pattaya but wants to start uni at Remkhahang in Bangkok.

Both guys were clean-cut, non-smokers/drinkers and generally all around nice. We initially started the relationships on a P4P sexual basis but it segued into a few dates at movies and dinner. The sex was very good and as I have been a long-term resident of Thailand, I new these were ""good boys"" with no other farangs/thais lurking around in the background. However, no matter how hard I might try, I would always get bored after a few dates. You quickly run out of things to talk about and besides, there is only so much of a common interest set between a semi-educated young Thai fellow and a professionally educated Western guy.

How to you guys manage it?

PS: I am currently reading the gay short-story book set in Thailand called ""If Truth Be Told"" by Peter Murrell and it accurately describes many of the problems in Thai/Western relationships I have always encountered. Recommended reading."

"Yes I can certainly understand how a relationship such as yours could develop. Obviously the high level of education facilitates similarities in language, interests, and outlook on life. My post was directed to the more typical (at least from what I have seen) relationship of maybe high-school educated and rural Thais and your typical middle-class Western visitor/resident.

Happy for your relationship, however, ""Mr. Mom."""
