@Spirit_Healer Hmmmm, I guess my questions for the last paragraph you have mentioned would be: how long have you known this fitness instructor for? Does he also come from a cultural background where marriage/family is a big deal?
I guess the more you guys get to know more about each other depending on how often you’ll see him and such, then perhaps you guys might possibly end up forming a connection with each other & probably consider on dating each other in the future?
At the moment, I’m not too worried about what was going on for me over the past month with regards to relationships, as I’ve managed to firmly tell my mum (and I have to keep doing so whenever she makes me stressed out about this) to stop making me date/be with a certain someone that she wants me to be with, and not even in my 20s. Her response was like “ok, no worries”..
But yeah for me, I too have my own preferences on what I want for a partner. I just hope that he’ll be the right guy for me in the future, and most importantly - someone who was born and raised in a primarily English speaking country, like Australia, America, NZ, Canada, the UK… because him and I are likely to share the same values and perspectives on certain things, compared to someone that comes from a country outside of those countries listed.

@Shaz51 i hope you're able to get some sleep tonight. usually, when i find myself to be awake during those times at night, i usually find that i'm able to fall back asleep hours later, especially around the 6/7/8am range and then I usually wake up feeling refreshed an hour or two later.
i might head down to the supermarket right now to get some tofu that i wanna cook either for tonight or tomorrow or sometime this weekend. 🙂

Yes, @Blackcloud , both him and I have the same cultural background as you. And marriage is a big deal for my parents, and I'm guessing his as well.
I've known him for about six months.

@Spirit_Healer ohhh wait, so does that mean you guys are Cambodians as well then? :0 I see, I see!!! Cambodian born Australian right?
I’m actually of Chinese-Cambodian descent, but it still applies cause technically my family and I are predominantly Cambodian (more Cambodian than Chinese).
then I’m sure you guys will be able to become closer the more time passes and the more you get to know more about each other like at a personal level then 🙂
