Thanks Sophie. Good advice. It will be hard for me I see. To add insult to injury, I haven't been Catholic since I was 18 and refuse go back. With 85% of the population being staunch Catholic really limits me. I work for AG&P in Bauan where we currently have 1,500 employees, mostly men. The gossip mill tells me that there are many men there interested in me but they only want one thing. That green card to the US. Unfortunately, I don't intend to go back there unless it's to visit family. I don't want a guy who only wants a crack at getting to the US. Frankly, the US is a hard place to live even if you are a citizen and I just can't get most people here to understand that. It's even worse now with the poor economy.
I've been here for a long time now. I've tried the online dating and such but it rarely pans out. Like you said, most are intimidated by me. They say hello and such but rarely get beyond that. I actually have more conversations with my students than anyone else but, as most have just graduated university, they are far too young and too immature for me.
I understand the laws on divorce and have had my share of "separated" but not annuled guys here. I'm looking for a husband, and I don't want to be a mistress. Maybe I should have stayed in India. My friends there were trying to arrange a marriage for me but, at the time, I didn't feel I was ready.
