ok, heres the deal. i was in france for a month and a half this past summer, and i absolutely loved it because i got to meet my dads heroes( they adopted him) for the first time. thing is, theyre not the prob. ever since i returned from france, i felt like i belonged there. i already have plans of moving there in the future, and another problem is that, i now only have an open eye for exchange students at my college. i feel as thought that my visit in france has affected me with my love interests in such a big way. i dont want to feel like, but i dont know how to stop this burning. what the heck is wrong with me? and what should i do?

You just got a bit of culture shock and you enjoyed it immensely. Once you realize the little things in the grand old USA that you take for granted it will wear off.

Sarah, sit down and list the pros, and cons of moving there. Get all of the information that you can about living there and the costs of it. This exercise may help you to see that there is only an infatuation with being there, but not a real desire. Wanting to live some where is as natural as breathing. It may be that France has captured your heart for a time, that might pass with time. We all go through similar things in our lives. Give this some time to wear off. Look at the issue from as many points of view as possible to gain as objective a view as is possible. It might be difficult, you might not even want to, this would be best for you though. There is a saying about the grass being greener on the other side of the fence. It is quite true. Give your mind a chance to have a say in this because your heart might be giving an impression that you could come to regret. There is nothing wrong, it is one of the many sentiments that affect all of us.

it is normal to feel the way. if you are planning to moving to France, of course you would be interested in forming love relationships only with those who will be there too, right? there is nothing wrong about chasing after what you want. If you love France, then so be it. Don't worry on anything. You are just planning on things. Looking forward to the future. YOu're okay. :-)

When you visit a place that you fall in love with, it changes your outlook. Nothing wrong with that. There are two places that I have visited and would hope to move to either one of them sometime in the future. I loved Ireland. I felt like belonged there also. When you find that comfort level in a place, it is very hard to leave it behind. It stays with you. Your attraction to European men is no different than if you liked men with blue eyes. Indulge it and enjoy it, don't stifle it. I hope you make your move and live happily in France. Good luck to you.

It is normal to want to be around people you admire, and feel a connection with. When you meet new love interests, make your plans for the future clear. The right person will want to help you pursue your dream of moving abroad. Don't let your hopes for the future stop you from living in the moment.

well you obviously belong there since you feel like you do.
Maybe you should make plans for the future to move back there. Maybe if you do, then you will feel satisfied and end the yearning you have to return there.
Or maybe you were just French in another life!!

go to France, girl!! If you know French, or are learning to speak it, that's great! I was always taught to follow my dreams, and that I could do anything I wanted to do. I think you should do the same, and if it doesn't work out, you an always come back. Good Luck!! OOH LA LA, FRANCE HERE I COME!!
