Beautiful Italian Ladies
A friend of mine has a thing for beautiful Italian ladies. Actually, he's got a thing for pretty much everything Italian. The food, the wine, the culture. He's even learning Italian. However, he isn't Italian so he is have trouble meeting girls with that heritage. I suggested he try an Italian Dating site to see who he can meet.
I know that, generally speaking, the women on Italian dating sites are looking to meet other Italians, but given my friend's affinity for everything about the culture I'm hoping some of the beautiful Italian ladies will make an exception in his case.
I suppose it might seem strange that someone develop such an obsession with a culture that that they don't initially come from. To be honest, it seem strange to me, but it seems pretty sincere and he explains it pretty well.
He told me that, for most of his life, he always felt a little bit like an outsider. He said that the first time he didn't feel like that way was when he spent a summer living in Italy. He studied art history and went on what was supposed to be a two-week trip to Rome to do research, but he was gone for months and only came back once his visa expired and he had no choice.
Part of me thinks that traveling, wherever you go, always makes you feel like a changed person, but my friend insists that it's something specific about Italian culture. He likes the way people interact and live and that it all made him feel very comfortable.
Anyway, whatever the cause of his fantasy, he's putting a lot of work into it. He's reading in Italian now and is starting to be able to speak it, so the language barriers should disappear pretty quickly once he meets an Italian angel who can help him practice. He's a good guy, and I'm sure that he'll be able to meet someone nice on of the dating sites he is going to try out.
