A phone conversation with Samuel

Samuel called me after she left my office. He had some questions with importing data to his database. I helped him. It was almost the end of our talk that he asked, "did you get any girlfriend?"
Me: "No, I mean I can get among Iranians here, but I can't find anyone that I can consider her for my future."
He: "What is their problem?"
Me: "You know; I liked one of them, but she drinks. I can't live my life with a drinker."
He: "I see. It is very hard to find one. I am going to share some of my experiences with you. All girls whom came here ran away of something; I saw someone whom her faience had sex with her before marriage, and she was not virgin, and had left Iran because of this. The other one was divorced and had come here to avoid cultural issues with divorced people in Iran. In addition, families of single girls usually were very open-minded that let their daughters to do anything. I always had a girlfriend, but I can't even think of living with none of the girls here. I met a girl whom went to New York with her friend a few weeks ago, and she called his boyfriend to come from Canada to sleep with her. She slept with that boy four nights; once he left, she slept with her friend's brother for the other five days. Nobody can be with this girl for a long term. Almost all Iranian girls here have these kinds of problems. I made this mistake several times in my life, but you don't do that; never go into a relationship that has no future. You can't marry a drinker, so don't even think about starting a relationship with her. Either you or she will get hurt because of emotions, and there would be no solution because you can't simply live together. I don't say there is no good Iranian girl here, but all good girls I saw were those whom married in Iran and came here with their husbands. I think it's a good option to go back to Iran and marry there."

I wanted to ask him to stop because it was very painful for me to hear that. I remembered when my friend said that Shirley was not a good girl. She was with Iranians, and now, she is into Americans. I could imagine her drinking in bars and be with a different boy all the time. Then, I remembered when Nancy said that she ran away of her old-fashioned father, and she fought with him all the time because of this; now, she is here, and she is free to do anything she wants. Who knows what exactly she wants? It was very hard for me to grasp. I was not in a relationship with her; I was not in love with her, and it was still painful when I figured out she can't be in my future. She was not even a good friend by not calling me these days. I waited for a call or even a simple message from her asking me what was wrong with me, but she never did that.
