liking someone is liking someone...marrying someone is marrying. when it comes to marriage..u'll know by then what kind of person u're with and all the nitty gritty details. it's true that some might be still strict and closed minded..even if they are born and raised in US..but some are more open minded and nice too. I have seen both sides....some ppl are open minded and even the parents and families have learned to be open minded and some guys just play around with girls and then go back home and marry coz their parents want it that way. But details u figure out as u go along...that's what relationship is about... nothing is perfect as one hopes it to be
