Are you being facetious? (say yes...) Are all or most expats looking for a safe port in a storm instead of a real and lasting relationship in places like this? So there must therefore be an unspoken rule that 'relationships' here are temporary and therefore neither person should get too attached?? And maybe, no matter how much you think you are in love, you are only kidding yourself. If so, I'm in trouble. Simplekate....have you found answers yet?
