Well I'm speaking from experience.

I've dated a lot of women in my day, and it took a very long time to find someone who was worth it. Funny thing is, she isn't even American.

My wife came from Vietnam. Met her while I was in college after I had got out of the military. She was only here for about 2 months when we met. I was the first American guy she dated. Now we are married and have a daughter.
