well, there she was, a little doll, sitting right in front of me, and she was smiling at me too

asked her name, where she's from, number

did the whole, "mee faan reu yung?" bit

but now I am afraid to take it to the next level, as she's just started working and is not an office gal, but a regular operator in the production floor

I know what the others will think

"why does the Falahng have to mix with poor plant workers, when there are decent office ladies and nurses out there ?"

I did however date an office lady with a decent salary, and would you believe her need for me to "take care" financially was worst I encountered, if you can imagine that, 555

so I have a choice now, to pull the trigger and invite her out on the weekend, or just remain calm and do nothing

I plan to call her often to determine if she has a TBF (since the majority of women in LOS in this position do) , and of course to get to know her a little bit long distance before swooping in

after dating around LOS for a while, I think I know the problem signs to look out for and bail on

she seems really nice, and she is also concerned that I might already have a GF. I find it kind of nice that she speaks Kum Meuang (Northern dialect) with me, as even my previous long term GF from Chiang Rai wouldn't do that

actually, the rush is maybe just in my mind, but if this is her first job, and she's not attached to anyone, it won't be long before she is

and you're right, just because she doesn't have a college degree, doesn't mean she can't be educated, or isn't already pretty smart

but I know there's a stigma there with the Thais, wondering why on Earth I'd want to flirt with a relatively uneducated person

then there's the client/provider aspect of it all, since her company works for mine, oops

if she's worth it, why would u care that other ppl would think?

i don't.

I agree with wallace. Some times if she is in teenager or very young, she may misunderstand between love and impress or liking , what do you think? many of thai is always give warm greeting and communicate with every one sweetly. especially u dont make she feel scared or be ruined

oddly enough, I have not asked her age yet. We spent so much time doing the skeptical "mee faan reu yung ?" bit last night that I forgot to ask. I am was guessing 22, but if this is her first job, then probably younger. This brings in a whole new ball game in terms of sin sot (dowry) maybe later on

@ Wallace , I am logical, until I meet a babe like this one, 555

then thought process goes out of control and in come the heart strings

that's why I sat down to make this post, to collect my thoughts a bit, and get some opinions

thanks to all for your comments

@chocolate,

yes, it might also just be nice to have her friends see her talking to a Falahng, not sure, but I should find out soon.

her original suggestion for a date was to go to Central. I hope she isn't out to buy things on my budget, but that's usually how it goes and ends

I will suggest Doi Inthanon instead, get out of the city and into the mountains, learn about each other instead of going on a shopping spreee

what break of dawning said. i know you are just thinking aloud, but for the life of me, i can't see why what other people think should even enter your mind. and so what if she's a process work. i have met plenty of process workers who are very smart. my ex's sister who is a process worker owns about 2 milliuon dollars worth of houses and apartments. but you sound like you knows whats what so best of luck

a process worker who own 2 mil $ of houses, hmm, why is she still working ?

I think chocolate had a point about being impressed vs. actually liking someone

and my concern was more about the stigma, but it's not that big of a deal if she's the one

I'm actually going to ring her up soon, as she'll be on lunch break, just wanna get to know her a little better first

does feeling like a giddy teenager when I talk to her a minus or a plus ?
