A woman gave me her number!

The funny thing is I did call her last night but because of her accent I couldn't understand her over the phone, ah well you live and learn.
Hey, you called! Awesome. Too bad about the accent, but you gave it a shot, which is a great thing. :) Hopefully this gives you more confidence for the next one!

Hmm, it seems the biggest suspicion here is that she could be looking for marriage. So, have we gotten to be so much against the institution of marriage that a woman who is looking for a husband has to be avoided at all costs? It's true that a big part of her motivation could be that she wishes to remain in the country. Honestly, I don't think that's such a bad thing and wouldn't make her a bad wife (should anyone ever muster up the courage to marry her). In Asian countries marriage is often viewed by women somewhat analytically and less romantically like in the western world. She may be asking herself: Does this man seem normal? Does he seem the sort who would treat me well? Will he be supportive of me wanting to stay in the country?

Every woman who would like to stay in the country isn't necessarily looking to run a scam in which she will take all your money and wire it to her poverty ridden family back home. Depending on the country she is from, the prospect of not having to go back can be a very attractive one indeed. In this case your citizenship and what you can provide her is not much different from a woman who desires a man with a decent job or house. I've met quite a few women who got married under those circumstances. None of them have been evil, scheming money grubbing shrews. From what I've seen, most have turned out to be great wives and mothers.

Well, moot point since you have already called her and were turned off by her accent. But if her accent wasn't the only thing that discouraged you and you are afraid of what she may be up to, I'd advise that you give the woman a chance.... unless, of course, you are deathly afraid of the prospect of a serious relationship.

Hey, life is too short to worry about everything too much.

I mean, of course you have to worry, but just something between a bit and much. Never too much, never just a bit. Come on, that's the big deal of life, isn't it? The great balance between stuff.

I might be talking nonsense bull$h1t here but if you want an advice text her (since you don't understand her on the phone because of her accent) and go for that coffe people were suggesting. She won't bite you. At least not in the coffe shop. If you know what I mean. ;D
