[quote=Anonymous]AP1 had a serious boyfriend.  He came and stayed with us once.  She did all her major travel with him.  Downsides: intense homesickness especially at first, and this was the reason she gave for not extending (I believe this really was the reason, actually).  Pros: No worries about partying too hard or risky behavior.

AP2 does not have a boyfriend back home.  She doesn't appear too interested in finding one here either.  She is less homebody that our AP1 with boyfriend but that might just be personality.  For the record, no issues with partying or risky behavior with her either.

I was really worried about the whole boyfriend thing when we matched with AP1.  I'm now convinced this is not a big deal either way.  I find a good question to ask when interviewing is why is this prospective AP doing the AP program - and not some other kind of work/travel program?  Trying to weed out those for whom having a good time is the only motivation and hopefully land with someone with a sincere interest in kids/being part of a family.[/quote]
