Some might think differently, but since I was born and raised in Korea, I can say I am pretty much very Korean. lol.
Let me give you some tips that you need to know when you are dating a Korean girl or when you want to make your Korean girlfriend happy.
1. Korean girls like publicity.
If you show your affection in public, she will seem shy, but she will like it. That is why Korean men are always very stressed about how they can make the woman happy by organizing some special party or proposal usually in public (or with bunch of friends).
2. Koreans like couple stuff.
Korean couples like to match together. They have couple shirts,
couple rings,
couple shoes,
couple cellphones,
couple cellphone charms,
couple bags,
even couple swimsuits!!
You might need to get prepared to do these things when you have a Korean boyfriend or girlfriend.
3. Korean girls are quite passive in relationships.
They like assertive guys. Many Korean girls say that even though they don't like a guy at first, if he keeps trying and is quite assertive, they will open up and start liking him. So, if you are assertive, she might just follow you.
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering though...with all the couples showing off their relationship status, how do celibate people deal with that in Korea? Are they completely OK with that, do they feel weird in coffee spots if they are alone? Are they pressured by their friends to meet someone?
It would probably be hard to be in a place where there are so many couples around you all the time. That is why many single people don't want to go outside, and they rather stay at home and watch TV??? I guess. Lots of people always want to date somebody.
DeleteI never tried dating Korean girls before neither other Asians girls. But I like to try it see if the culture will not be a hindrance.
ReplyDeleteHi Lily,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog as I was searching the internet to try and understand Korean women. I have been dating a Korean girl for about a year now - she is living in Australia on a student visa, I am an australian. When we first started dating (well after about a month of dating), I started saying some serious things but she always said that things need to go slowly. She did say that she had feelings for me and she often says things that I don't think anyone would say unless they were interested in a long term relationship.
But after a year of dating, we are still just dating - we have never even kissed, we've held hands a few times, but I have no idea what dating means to a Korean girl. Is this amount of time to be dating a Korean girl normal before becoming girlfriend/boyfriend, or even kissing? I just wonder if she is not interested as all - but then why would she still see me? Maybe I need to be assertive like you have mentioned in some posts - but I have a feeling that would make her run, and I don't want to lose her.
Dating is just dating. You guys have been dating for a year now! Maybe, one of you just want to have benefits from just dating not being in a relationship. If you want her to be your girlfriend, you might need to talk to her about it since dating for one year sounds pretty crazy to me. No one wants to take things that slow!!!!
