hi...fellow mylotter, meeting new people interested me a lot. in my country, there are a lot of foreigners who come from distance countries just for having a holiday or doing jobs. anyway, once i met a foreigner, i felt like i wanna to get close with him/her. make a conversation and sharing anything. i think it's not easy. it's hard for me to open a conversation, i don't know what to say first. i'm afraid that the way i'm talking will hurt him/her because i and the foreigner have different culture. so,,,if you were me, what are you gonna do? what are you going to say first? thanks friends......:)

Talk about foreigners... I just had a date with my bahraini chatmate last sunday! Man i thought id be intimidated. Good thing i was not. It was the first time i ever dated a foreigner! And i am so glad also because it is not everyday that you get to meet your chatmates in real life! It was i who made the introduction. Hahhaahah! I had to confront my jitters otherwise i wont be able to use my brains for the conversation. For me, it has been easy because we had been chatting. But for real first timers, i bet... because you wouldnt know the character of the other. Dont worry workout freak, it always starts with one hello...
