You are obviously besotted and good luck to you.
Is she Balinese?
Is she born and bred in Bali?
Then my advice to you is stick with what you have been told. It is only us westerners/europeans that have been brought up in a world that is CYNICAL personified.
I have been to Bali many many times and I have a business partner there. I asked if he and his wife and two kids would like to come to Australia (I was paying) and he said "thank you very much, but no offence, why?"
Their handle on life is so different to ours!
So the moral to what I am trying to say is that if she is Balinese then the odds are in your favour and I really believe that you are better forgetting your doubts and going for your first instincts.........Because at the end of the day the worst thing that can happen to you is that you can end up broken hearted, but as someone earlier said it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all!
Remember...in my opinion Bali it is not Pat Pong Road in Bangkok or Ermita Street in Manila, there is a huge difference.
Good luck and GO FOR IT !
