Might be an idea. I've fooled around with a few Canadians, but never dated one. They're like mild Americans.
It was a bit of a shit time, really. I lived and worked in South Korea from 2007-2009 and met an American lass there. We moved to Australia together after a year together and did a year there, but it didn't work out. So, rather than break up, we opted to stay together until her visa ended.
Once she'd gone and the resulting sadness kicked in, I went back to South Korea in a new city. Had an awful job, jumped into a relationship with a crazy bitch who made me miserable, and basically spiralled to an all-time low.
Left the country without notice and moved to my hometown just in time for a wet, cold winter that only further crushed my spirits. Shit time was shit.
Not quite single yet. She flies out Wednesday week.
As for dating, I'm definitely taking a break from that. Nothing more serious than exchanging first names and fluids for the foreseeable future.
I prefer my horror to be of the suspenseful thriller or supernatural variety. I've never really enjoyed torture porn or slasher films.
