Here's a good question. How strong is the love felt by a South African Woman? If an Afrikanns Woman told you that she loved you...how strong would you rate that love?
What if...they had to leave the country? Do you think that this person would ever try to find you again? Do you think that their love for you will be strong enough to last through out the time you are apart?
I ask these questions for a reason. I was dating a SA girl who was here in America for a year. We knew our time was limited and that eventually she would go back to SA. So we decided to make the best of it and we did. We shared alot of things together and became very close.
I really thought I could be strong...having prepared myself for what was to come. However, a few hours after I knew she was on a plane and was gone (yesterday) I felt an incredible saddness envelope me. I knew she was gone. I will never again see her smiling face in front of mine. I will never again hear the sounds of her voice. I will never again hold her in my arms. In short...I fear I will never see her again.
So I ask you South Africans, how strong is South African love?

I don't believe you can rate how much love someone is capable of just by their country of origin.

To a degree...i can
You're right. love is relative through out everyone.
However, based on your country of origin, you may have learned a different set of values and beliefs.
For instance, in India, marriages are prearranged. They DO NOT divorce (at least very, very, very, rarely.)
Some other countries beleive so strongly in "love" that they will do anything to keep it, fortify it, and keep it going.
In our country...if a woman says "i love you" you ask "For how long?" In our society love is conditional. If the conditions are right for them, they feel as though they can love. As soon as those conditions change, the love goes away.
My girlfriend did nothing but speak about how South Africans are true to people. She spoke about how strong their convictions are.
So basically, I want to know if she was right.
So I asked the question. However let me rephrase it.
How strong are South African;s Convictions?
