Laura travels to Turkey to meet Birkan, whom she claims is the love of her life. The 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way introduced the couple. Their first meeting was meant to be magical and romantic, but the special moments turned quite uncomfortable on the train.
Laura and Birkan met at the airport and took the train to the city. On the train ride, she longed for eye contact with him. She kept glancing at him and smiling, but he briefly met her eyes. His body language was also off. Does he regret meeting her in person, or does he regret being in a relationship with Luara? Keep reading to find out.

Laura and Birkan’s relationship is another May-December romance in 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way. She is 47, and he is 26. Their relationship started when they met on Snapchat. Soon, it blossomed into a romance across continents. When Laura revealed her relationship to her parents, they were concerned.
The news shocked Laura’s mother as Birkan is significantly younger and is a conservative man from Turkey. Her dad tried to find humor in it. But both were concerned whether he was only in the relationship for a green card. Laura also revealed that her best friend, Michael, was in love with her. Michael didn’t deny the allegations, but he also said he couldn’t compete with Birkan’s good looks.
Laura and Birkan’s first meeting is far from romantic. The 90 Day Fiance couple met in Turkey. While everything seemed fine at the airport, things got awkward when they sat on the train. She was like a woman in love, while his body language remained stiff. He could barely hold eye contact with Laura. This seemed to be the skepticism her parents felt.
In an IG clip, Laura and Birkan’s meeting is shown. The couple is sitting on a train. Laura says the flight to Turkey is the best she has ever taken. She keeps looking at him, waiting for him to say something. But all he says is, “I’m glad, I’m really glad,” almost with a forced smile. He keeps looking ahead, unable to meet Laura’s eyes for more than a split second. Even though she keeps glancing at him, he does not look at her.
They sit there in silence. Laura lays her head on his shoulder for a second and whispers, “It’s so good to see you.” Birkan does not look at her and agrees. Onlookers can tell the whole situation is super awkward. Laura confesses that she isn’t expecting the awkwardness, since things had been great when they met at the airport.
Fans are wondering if Birkan thinks he made a mistake. One wrote, “He looks really disappointed. It’s all over his face.” Another told Laura to “Go home and play doubles with your bestie.” Others think her staring at him made Birkan feel awkward. Some other comment read, “He’s not attracted to her clearly. Why do people do this to themselves?!” For more 90 Day Fiance updates, follow TV Season & Spoilers.
