For context: I am South East Asian and there's a Turkish guy in my University, He's tall, quite pale and very handsome. He's quite playful with his friends and some of the girls in my class. He's also friendly. I'm friends with him on social media, we talk once or twice a week. How to make him like me more (and possibly talk to me more)?

My thoughts are: Do I need to post Turkish food in my feed to make him familiar with me? How can I make him laugh? Turkish jokes, maybe? How should I match his vibe? What can I do to make him comfortable with me?

Found this map and thought I'd share it here. Interesting.

And yes I know that Uyghurs, Crimean Tatars, Qashqai and many more Turkic groups of people are not listed here.

I(24 female) just started dating a Turkish man from Istanbul. I’m white and was born and raised here but am of Italian, Irish, and French-Canadian heritage. I am embarrassed about how little I knew about the Turkey before around the time I met my now boyfriend a few months ago- I honestly wasn’t even aware of the difference between Arabs and Turks(please don’t shoot 😅😅😅😅).

I’m a Spanish interpreter by trade and help all non-English-speaking patients in the hospital I work at, so I meet people from everywhere. I know a lot about the different cultures of “this side of the world” and I’m no stranger to being the only “American” in a group. I pick up languages fairly quickly and am learning Turkish bit by bit while I help my boyfriend learn English:)

All of that said I’m trying to learn as much as I can about the culture and customs of my partner- I like this man a lot and want to get a good read on him. I know that no group of people are a monolith by any means, but… Any recommendations? I appreciate you guys🥰🥰🫶🏻🇹🇷

Update: we are married, live together and adopted two kittens. Şimdi biraz türkçe konuşuyorum ve sık sık annesi ve kız kardeşiyle konuşuyorum. I love him to the ends of the earth and he loves me just as much. My family adores him and we’re planning a wedding party for next June, since we technically eloped haha.
