Hi! I found this blog today and I find absolutely awesome that you answer all the questions, so thank you! :)
I’m a 17 y/o spanish girl and a few days ago I met this korean guy on an online site.
He is 28, and I know what you are thinking, what a grown up man for a little kid like me;). But to be honest, I look like I’m 25 so he is fine with it.
He may not be your ideal handsome type of guy.. but I think his smile is amazing and genuine, and he’s really funny, always making me laugh.
He’s been living in Australia I dont know for how long, but probably not much cos he still has problems with his english.
I can tell that he says what’s on his mind most of the time, but just the second time we talked (through Skype) he started saying he liked me, and he asked me if I liked him as well. I said yes because actually, I really do. But in the same conversation he said he loved me. What the heck?? We just talked 2 times!! maybe the meaning of the word “love” is different for him or something.. I dont know.
Then he asked me what I thought about him. And I answered with this super girly response saying I really liked his smile and I found him cute when he was thinking (everything’s true).
Then I asked him the same question, and the love flew out through the window when he said that my eyes were big, my nose was high and my forehead was wide, and that was what he likes on a girl.
So here’s the question: he is just playing right? because I cant believe him when he said he loved me the second time we talked.. and I literally told him ” I dont believe you” but he kept saying it was true. And also he said that I probably love him too because he could see it in my eyes or something.. ok, I may have dreamy eyes with him but still…
And im worried about that super cold answer he gave me about my looks.. should I think he is superficial?
im kind of stressed because I really like him.. and if he happens to be just playing with me, and stops talking to me someday because he’s tired of me, I would feel really depressed.
If someone could help me I’d be really grateful. Thanks a lot :)
Hello, i’m also Korea guy in Sydney, i would love to meet Spanish girls as well but it’s very difficult as not many here in Sydney.
Seriously?
Gosh. Hispanic and Spanish girls like many different types of guys. I, for example (S. American descent), LOVE Oriental guys, preferably Korean. I’m young, so of course you can say its a bit shallow, but i do. ^^
Is there none in Australia? IDK- maybe you should look more?
Don’t take my advice though… I don’t know much. Good luck! (:
Thank you! Sometimes life gets in the way, but we are really determined to answer every question we get :)
Usually I have no problem with big age difference in couples (maybe because my parents have it and I also had it in previous relationship), but you are underage and he seems suspiciously pushy (I love you for Koreans is same as for Westerners).
Please take your time, and be very careful. And don’t get depressed! You are young and having fun. If he’s just a player there will be plenty of guys you will meet later who will not be.
It can be a good experience, just take care of yourself and don’t do anything you might regret.
Thank you so much for your answer! :)
we’ve been talking for a month already and things are going pretty well. We’ve gotten to a point where we can be honest with eachother so I asked him why he said he loved me the second time we talked, and he said he really wanted to keep in touch with me so he thought of saying that. I already told him it wasn’t a good idea. :P
Since we are reaaally far from each other none of us is thinking about getting pretty serious about this, so we are just enjoying the moment. :)
Again, thanks for answering. Just wanted to let you know how things are.
Thank you, we are always interested to hear the updates :) Good luck with everything

how can you get the chance to meet Korean guy? i mean dating? i would like to have an experience with guy from Korean but i don’t know how. i’m just love korean culture and maybe experience it. can you give me some advice so i can have a korean boyfriend like you? gommawoyo :)
We met online. Maybe you can try too?
This is the story how we meet and how to meet Korean.
I have read quite a bit online about how to tell if a Korean guy likes you, and while they have all been informative, I haven’t found anything quite like my situation and would love to gain some insight.
A couple years ago my husband and I travelled to Seoul and met some really great people. One in particular I have become very close to. Lets call him Jihan. (not his real name) We kept in touch through Facebook, then emails, and now chat almost daily.
Last year we went back to Seoul for a visit and spent more time with Jihan. It was then that I felt something was different between us. I couldn’t quite place it, but I felt like when he looked at me, he was looking right into my soul. When we embraced and parted for the last time, we both cried.
Since then it has been very intense, at least to me. Our conversations have become quite personal and sometimes emotional. I have supported Jihan in any way I can through some very tough times for him. Through chat he has told me he loves me, though it seemed very casual and when I asked him about it he was quite nonchalant, saying he thought of me as his sister. I told him that I loved him too and thought of him as my brother, while explaining that my love for him cannot be defined and so brother is the closest I can say. All of this has culminated in Jihan actually coming to my country to visit and stay in our house for some time.
During his stay he has done some things that has peaked my curiosity. I want to state right now that no matter Jihan’s feelings, nothing will change my marriage status. In fact my husband is aware of everything, including my admitted attraction to Jihan. I’m not sure if Jihan senses this.
Some of the things he’s done include giving me shoulder and neck massages without warning, lots of physical contact, like sitting or walking very close to me so that our arms are always touching, and even kissing me on the top of my head. He will be so attentive and kind one minute, then distant and almost shy or scared the next. He’s been giving me some aegyo as well, but if I happen to put my arm around him or pat him on the shoulder he tenses up.
There’s more but I think those were the things that really made me wonder the most. I guess my question is this: are these normal behaviors between a Korean brother and sister or is there perhaps more to it?
I don’t have any brothers so I don’t know what kind of relationship is normal. And yes, if I was not already married to a wonderful man I would definitely explore this to the fullest. But I’m not, and I’m content to love and be loved by Jihan in whatever way works best for us without crossing any boundaries. This is something we discussed before his visit.
So, any thoughts on his behavior? Is this normal? Acceptable? Or do we need to have another talk?
Thank you for your time in reading this. I really appreciate it.
You two are not brother and sister. I agree that two nonrelated people can feel like sibling, in fact, our feelings have nothing to do with shared DNA. They have to do with our upbringing. Basically, two people that are brought up as siblings grow up to not feel attraction to each other.
But that’s not what happened in your case. You even openly admit your attraction to Jihan, so I think that should clearly answer your question if you two are behaving like brother and sister.
You didn’t mention if you have children or not. For me that’s the biggest game changer.
If you do have children I think you should pull yourself away from Jihan and forget about him.
If you don’t have children, then feel free to have fun and don’t worry if others think it’s normal and acceptable.
Hey there! I just want to tell you a bit about my story with my Korean guy. About a year and a half ago, I unexpectedly met a seemingly nice Korean guy through Taekwondo. Now of course this happens to many people, but one thing I noticed off the bat was the HUGE smile that came across his face when our eyes met the first time, and that didn’t happen between him and anyone else that night. Soon after our first meeting each other, we became Facebook friends. From then, it was at times non-stop back and forth chatting. We soon became close friends, but when we would see one another, our face to face conversations could get quite awkward. I remember one time how strange it was when he gave me a high five and held my hand for a few seconds and just looked me in the eye and smiled. I guess that led me to think that there could be something, but I wasn’t sure because it’s not so common between people in America. Now we kept close contact and I shared feelings which I was never really blunt about, but after that we somewhat drifted apart. At first it bothered me, and then I just went my own way. I talked to other guys and just tried to avoid him. After a while, I tried to get him to meet up with me, but it didn’t work out. Now let’s fast forward to the present. It’s been eight months since we last got to see each other, and we’re going to see each other in a week. This may seem strange, but I had a dream about him, and it just seemed that I needed to re-establish our friendship. This time I’m not letting go, and I pray that he doesn’t either. I have prayed and cried for this to happen, and I believe that it’s about to all work out. I say all this to ask you this question. How am I to approach him and let him know I want to be more than just friends?
“Hello. Wanna go out for a cup of coffee?”
My English is so bad and I don’t know how to speak korean but I still want to have a korean friend even a korean boyfriend because korean men are so polite and good look. i love tall man because tall man seems very protective. Is tall man interested in a short girl like me? keke. I am an Asian but not a flawless Asian like korean not dark as well. So what’s the best and fast way to find a korean friend online ? thank you :)
Aren’t most men dating shorter women?
Nobody is flawless….
Here is link how to meet Korean online.
How height you are doesn’t matter. Just get yourself to join Korean community.
hello…i’m malaysian girl and muslim.i want to know how a korean men marry a malaysian and muslim girl in korea?do they have to fill a form or getting marriage at the Malaysian embassy? can you explain how Islamic marriages performed in seoul?
We wrote Can I find Korean Muslim to marry? but I don’t know anyone who married Muslim. Sorry
Hello! So, I’ve always loved the Asian culture, especially Korean. One of my best friends is Korean (girl) and I have a lot of girl Korean friends, but whenever I talk to Korean guys they seem intimidated and quiet around me, but I just want to get to know them better. I have 2 Korean guy friends; all the girls like me and say I’m so gorgeous and nice, and I find Korean guys attractive but I don’t think they are interested in me. It kind of makes me sad :( I’m Half Iraqi, and half Scottish/German, so my skin isn’t as fair as Asian girls, and I have long brown hair, and hazel eyes. I have a small physique, and am really friendly. I just wonder what could be the reason as to why they may be uninterested in me? Are Korean boys shy? I just love their culture and find a lot of them to be attractive.
Thank you! :)
Is that you in your display picture? You are beautiful indeed ^^ 예쁜이다
Well, i’m not korean, but i’m asian. Personally, i think they’re shy, but they have their pride, kkkkkkk, but my opinion could be as a result of too many kdramas, ^^ lol
anyway… you could make an initiated action condition that make them more comfy to make an approach on you, make them feel as if they’re making the first move, but actually they’re not, cause the truth is you have provided the ‘tools’ for that action. Hope you get it, :D it’s easier if you have mutual hobbies or activities. But first you need to know how they really feel about you, find some informations from your girl korean friends.
Hope it helps. :)
Hello,
There is no definition of what Korean guys like in a girl. Nor is there a definition if Korean guys are shy or not. Some are, some are not. I agree that shy people may seem uninterested but in my experience they do their best to send out signals, they just tend to be more subtle.
So, worry less how you genetically look and concentrate more on being in tune with what they are thinking and feeling.
I hope it helps and you are very welcome.
You’re gorgeous. It could be you are too gorgeous to be their girl friend.
Dear Loving Korean,
I’ve been studying in Korea for a while and I’ve had a pen pal for almost seven months. He is getting out of the army this week and we are finally going to meet in person. I was wondering if it would be an ok idea to get him a small gift, to congratulate him on finishing his service and to commemorate our first meeting. Since he likes drawing and painting I was thinking of getting a set of drawing pens (also a nod to the fact we have been pen pals, I make bad puns haha). I think it would be fine, but a second opinion from someone more experienced is always welcome.
Cheers,
Kat
Sorry, it seems like it’s too late for us to answer this question, but we hope you went through with it cause it’s a great idea.

How can i say in korean “i need you in my life”? >~<
제 삶에 당신이 필요합니다.(formal) I need you in my life
Hello,
I love your blog! I have been reading it for a while now, and finally decided I would like to ask you a question. I don’t know if you can help me, but it couldn’t hurt to ask! Okay, here goes. I met a Korean man on a pen pal site a few months ago, and we talk via skype a couple times a week. We have video chatted before, but we mostly just chat. We talk about our day, our interests, aspirations, etc. He is 6 years older than me, but doesn’t make me feel immature or inferior. He is always very sweet and kind to me. To be honest, I have developed quite the crush on him! I don’t know if he feels the same way at all, but even if he doesn’t I want to continue to be friends. However, I would like to talk more with him. I am wondering if it would be a good or a bad idea to mention to him that I would like to talk more. I was thinking maybe I could ask him if we could talk on kakao or something? But, I am afraid that he would just say yes to be nice and I might be bugging him, or think that I am crazy to ask. It seems that he likes talking to me now and makes an effort to talk to me when we are both online, but I can’t be sure. And, also I suppose I have another question. Do you think I should tell him I have a crush on him soon, wait longer, or just never mention it?
Thank you in advance, I appreciate your time and wisdom!
Hello,
Thank you! We are so happy you like what we do here :D
You should ask him to talk more. :) It is a compliment to tell him you wish to talk more and if it’s not convenient for him, as a grown man, he should be able to find a way to evade it without being rude.
I really have no idea when you should tell him. I was bursting to tell Kimchi Man so I didn’t wait long and it worked out great for both of us, but you know every couple is different.
Thank you for your advice! I will try and work up the courage to ask him :)
Hi Kimchi Man, do you have any Korean movie recommendations? I hope it’s ok to ask, since this is mainly a love advice blog. Thank you very much in advance (⌒‿⌒)
Hello. ‘Castaway on the Moon’, ‘Joint Security Area’, ‘Welcome to Dongmakgol’, ‘The Way Home’, ‘Breathless’, and ‘Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring’. Some of those movies are only suitable for over 18.
Have a nice day
That’s ok, I’m 33 ^^ ~ Thank you very much ^^
My sassy girl would be my recommendation. Enjoy!
I recommend “3-Iron” (Bin-jip) and “Love, in Between” ^^ ~ enjoy ^^ but if you know some good action movie’s, please tell me ^^
“IRIS the Movie” :)
Thank you (◦’ں’◦) I’ll watch it for sure.

안녕하세요 anonymous :)
Please keep reading our blog, it makes us so happy ^^
Kimchi Man is a native speaker of Korean and I’m just a beginner so I guess neither of us are exactly in your situation.
Sorry we can’t be more helpful. However, we did write how to learn Korean and how to learn Hangul so maybe you can find something there.
It’s great that you are so passionate to learn. We both really wish you a good luck. And feel free to ask anything else

That would be great!
Feel free to ask anything else, or just post a comment if you want to chat ^^
Hello there! :)
My question has nothing to do with Korean guys, it’s about working in South Korea.
Well, I’m majoring Mandarin, minoring Japanese (1st year of college yet), learning Korean by myself, and I speak 3 languages (Portuguese: mother tongue; Spanish and English), and of course I shall be a translator in the future if all goes well. My question is: is it too hard to find a job that is not teaching in South Korea? What are my chances to work in SK with a diploma of Level 5 both in Mandarin and Korean? *working hard to reach level 6* ehehehhe
Thank you for your time reading!
You guys are so cuteeee!!! I’m loving reading all these answers! :3
Take care! :*
Thank you for saying we are cute~~~
After hearing that it’s really difficult to be only able to give this answer: We have no idea. Kimchi Man is born and spent his whole life in South Korea and I haven’t started looking for a job there yet.
But since you speak so many languages, it is difficult to imagine that you wouldn’t be able to find a job.
Hello~
I was wondering about something.
Are Korean men attracted to women who are in touch with their feminine side? And is being a bit “Guyish” a turn off to them? Also do some Korean men like a girl being ‘Aegyo’?
Also I;m hoping to look for a relationship with Korean as you can see with my question. Also I’m 3/4 Mexican and 1/4 South Korean, could that help me at all?
I’m not sure what exactly you mean by ‘in touch with their feminine side’.
I am quite “guyish” in some ways. I am a scientist, I love sci-fi, computer games, technology, martial arts and action movies. I rarely wear make-up and I don’t like shopping for clothes. All my friends are guys as I always seem to find more in common with them.
BUT I don’t like to think that I’m not in touch with my feminine side. I’m a woman, I have no doubts about that, and I believe women should be able to like what they like without being labeled as not being feminine enough.
Kimchi Man agrees with me, and the thinks I’m feminine despite all that.
Some Korean guys do like aegyo. Some don’t.
I don’t see how that could help you…. Maybe I didn’t understand your last question well….
Be girlish. Do you think woman likes a girlsh man in general? Also, aegyo should not be exaggerated. Don’t learn from korean drama. That’s just drama.
Of course that some women like girlish guys. Why not?
I agree…. i think soulmates are people who match each other personality well. We don’t have to be someone other than who we are just to get a boy/girlfriend, or a husband/wife.
my name is Aly I’am from egypt and I’am searching for korian muslim girl to marry her can I find her
We are just a couple in love, we don’t really do matchmaking. However, we did try to answer the question can I find a Korean Muslim to marry?.
Hello,
I am very happy I found this website, and I really hope you could help me to solve a dilemma which is ruining my life! I a Western girl who really likes Asian guys, (especially Koreans..!) but in the past year, although I have seen many around my university’s library, I have had serious problems approaching them – not to say dating them.
The situation is very awkward, and kind of ironic, since I have experienced at least two or three cases in which guys stared at me for months and months without making a single move. At the beginning I thought they might just be shy, so I tried to find excuses to talk with them, but then they would just answer to my question and make no effort to continue the conversation. What’s even worse, every time they see that I am asking them something they look like they might just die or are about to having an heart attack. Of course, such a reaction scares me off, and makes me think they might just not be interested. But then they keep of staring, and I don’t understand what they want anymore.
This stalemate kind of depresses me, especially because it seems that I cannot get over it even when I try very hard. For example, I really like a guy who lives in my dorms, and at the beginning of the year I did the fundamental mistake of looking back at him when he was staring every time he saw me in the dining hall. I thought this would have encouraged him to come and talk, but as time passed by it became more and more difficult to sit “casually” in front of him. At the end, when it became very obvious that we were both interested, I have gathered all my strength and talked to him. When I did, he looked very happy, and kind of shy – although he plays tough on the outside. However, he could not feel comfortable talking, and we never became friends because he was too nervous. When I told my Asian friends that I like Asian guys they laughed, and said that it is unusual that a pretty girl likes Asians, and that it is why they tend to be intimidated. The point is that I am also shy, and I don’t feel too comfortable approaching guys and insist on making conversations.. What can I do to change this situation? Should I just be more friendly and carefree from the beginning, would that work out? Thank you!
Hello,
we are really happy you found this site as well.
Since you say you are shy as well, then it might work out better if you find an Asian guy who is not shy.
However, if there is a particular guy you like and you don’t want to give up on him then the only solution is to… well, not give up. Keep doing what you were doing until he either caves in or gives you a much clearer sign that he is not interested.
I don’t agree with your friends. If a pretty girl is not racist, then there is no reason for her not to consider Asian guys.
Hey Oegukeen and Kimchi Man! I’m just wondering about your thoughts on a certain point; lots of people who are looking particularly for a Korean partner always seem to mention in questions that they’re ’1/2 blah blah but also 1/2 Asian ethnicity’ and wonder if that would help them or not. I can’t help but feel like people are implying that being even a tad Korean or even Asian might heighten your chances of being in a relationship with a Korean. Isn’t this a little ridiculous (in the nicest way possible not trying to target or insult anyone who has done this)? Does having Korean blood in your family or being a certain percentage of Asian really even give you more of a chance than anyone else? I’d like to know your thoughts on this matter and any advice for people, thanks and I love your blog! <3
Hello,
We think we know which comment in the thread above you are referencing :)
There are some xenophobic people in every country that believe their nation shouldn’t mix, so they prefer their children only marry and date same nationality. I seriously doubt that having one of your grandparents who is Asian or Korean would satisfy them.
I’m having a hard time imagining any type of person who would see that as an advantage, and I have an even harder time imagining such a person would even be worth dating.
But my lack of imagination hasn’t stopped me from being wrong before.
Hi! I’m really glad i found this site. It really helped me a lot~ thank you!
I’m really confused and don’t know what to feel. I met this korean guy because he’s a friend of my cousin. We chatted for a while but that didn’t last. After a few weeks, his brother messaged me. We became friends but he told me that he can’t really speak english well. He stopped chatting with me. A few months passed and i caught him online. i sent him a message and he replied after that we chat almost everyday though he is having a hard time replying in english. Sometimes i would chat with him in korean language and he always says that my korean skill is really good. We’ve been chatting using kakaotalk~ a few days ago, i’m starting to feel confused. He told me that he really likes me because i was friendly then he repeated it, saying “i really like you, —”. I don’t know what to say since i think it is because of me, being friendly only. After that, it was 2 am there and still he was chatting with me, i was scared that time since i watched a horror film and i told him about it. He sent me a photo of him, smiling. He told me to just look at him smiling to lessen the fear i’m feeling. He also told me not to worry since i’m talking with him. He asked me to sent him a photo and i did. Then he told me i was beautiful and that i should feel confident. He often says i’m cute too. I didn’t took it that way but then on my birthday he sang to me and the next day, he sent me a drawing of his. A spongebob drawing with my name on the corner because he knew it was my favorite cartoon. But sometimes, he would say that he would sleep but i caught him online on facebook. And he’s sometimes, not replying to my messages. Oh, i forgot to tell that i was the one who always start the conversation. I don’t know if he is busy~~ he has a job and comes home very late but still he would find time to chat with me which i think is sweet because he is a very busy person. I think i was actually falling for him and all the little things he’s doing for me. But also, i was confused since i don’t know if i was the only one giving meaning to his actions. Please help me ㅠㅠ thank you~~ also, should i stop hoping and stop chatting with him?
Hello,
We are glad you found us as well.
It sounds like he is flirting with you. On the other hand, I believe someone who is in love can’t keep apart from their object of adoration, so he doesn’t seem to be there yet. But you don’t have enough information to know what it will lead to.
Obviously, you came here to ask us because we know about Korean culture, and there is nothing in Korean culture that would dictate a guy never texting you first.
You’re just going to wait and see, but if you can’t take the wait, then yeah, just go ahead and stop hoping and chatting…. if that’s possible ;)
Thank you so much for your answer! :) it really helped~ but i was just so confused. ㅠㅠ what would be the best? To continue or to stop? I really don’t know what to do since i was always waiting for his messages~ i just couldn’t help it. I hope you can help me. Thank you so much!!! :) i really love your site. It was really great! :)
You are very welcome :)
We can’t know what would be the best.
If you two will end up having a great relationship then it would be the best to continue, if you will just end up disappointed then it would be best to stop.
But nobody knows what is going to happen in the future. So just do now what feels right, and you may do the wrong thing, but that’s life.
Thanks~~ maybe i’ll continue chatting with him but if things between us won’t work, then i’ll stop~ if something happens, i’ll post again. Kkkk. Thank you!!! :) great blogs and you are really kind! I’m also so happy for you and Kimchi Man. Fighting~~ thank you so much.
Thank you, that’s really sweet if you. We hope we’ll hear back from you with some good news :)
Hello <3
I was wondering why there's a korean guy in my class keeps calling me fat and telling me "you are pretty only when you close your eyes". (I'm actually arnd 39-40kilos haha) And I just knew him like 2 weeks ago. He kept teasing me all the time. He also told me a lot of facts that he knows abt me started from last year (I only know the existence of this guy like 2 week ago only, he seems like he has been checking on me all the time :X) he even treated me dinner today and he even gave me his jacket when the weather turns chilly today. He just like to tease me all the time.
Hello :)
Cause he’s got a bad sense of humor? ;)
do you think he likes me?
I think so.. good luck!
Hello you sweet people!
A korean guy said this to me the other day:
그냥 한국말로하면 엄청 잘할수있는데!!
아휴 답답하다진짜
It’d be awesome if you could tell me what it means.
Thank you :)
If I spoke Korean, I would have said what I wanted to say with no problem.
Speaking the second language drives me crazy.
is that what it says?
Translation:
“If I could just say it in Korean then I can do It A LOT better!
I feel really frustrated.”
Haha… i put it in a translation tool, and i came out a bit awkward, but now i can make sense of it. Learning 하국어 is challenging, i have to mixed my head a bit due to its word order. Lol.
Thanks Shin, Kimchi man for answering. Thanks Linda for trying. ^^
Would Koreans date african-americans?
Well, I’m not sure. Why people all over the world should care of the background?
Hello,
We already answered that question Would Koreans date African-American. We hope it clears it up.
Hello. How do I go about writing this.. I chanced upon this space when I was searching for “dating a Korean guy”. I am only 19 but I hope I won’t be judged because of my age.. so here goes.. It might be a little lengthy, I apologize for that in advance..
This guy, is 27 (or 28). I remembered the first time I talked to him, I wished I never did or will not talk to him anymore because it seems like I am talking to someone without a soul, or someone who I find difficulty in communicating with. My colleagues said he hardly spoke because he was too shy, and maybe he is not confident enough with as his English might be weak.
Honestly, I thought since he hardly spoke to anybody .. then we would just remain as merely ‘hi-bye’ friends, and that’s it. The thought that he will become more than just a ‘hi-bye’ friends did not cross my mind before until.. I am given more opportunities to communicate with him due to our work needs.
And gradually I realized that he’s someone nice, and he’s really cute. We only exchange small talks, and it’s nothing “deep” but I still find myself drawn to him.. & I realized we, or rather he seems to be more comfort than the first conversation we had.
Sigh and that’s when the problem comes in. I mean I always behave shyly around people I like, unlike how I behave around other colleagues. I tried to act normal around him but I feel so awkward, and I can’t bring myself to start a conversation like how I used to (When I used to see him the same just like any colleagues) . And him being him, being shy.. he don’t start a conversation too. Or he started to maybe ask one question, I answered and then I don’t reciprocate.. it became so awkward being in the same space.
I tried to shove all these feelings/thinking away because there are so much to consider aside from just feelings…
I know he’s not married but I don’t know if he’s attached. I am dying to know but I am too shy to ask him, and I don’t want him to think that I am interested or what. I mean it will become so awkward if he doesn’t reciprocate the same way I am feeling..
And, I think he’s going back on for a short stay. and I read how Koreans family and friends arrange blind dates for those who are above 25 and single. The thought of him going for blind dates really …
I don’t know what to expect too, maybe he has a girlfriend. I just feel like sharing and maybe receive some advice or something…
Thank you in advance..
I am not sure what you are asking about. In general, the only reason we don’t speak out is that we are not fluent at speaking English. I’m one of them, unfortunately. I have been living in Canada for more than 5 years and my English is still weak to make friends. So, I barely talk when I am with Canadians… which is not good..
We have a Korean proverb that the brave man can get a girl. In my view, if he is not brave enough to talk in English, well, he is out of luck. If you have any questions about Korean guys, let me know.
Haha, don’t worry, you’re gonna have to be a lot older than 19 before you experience being judged because of your age.
I am also shy person, but Kimchi Man is ten times more shy plus he told me once how he had the most awkward and uncomfortable silence with some girl and after that decided to never see her again. That was all I needed. I swallowed my shyness and took matters into my own hands. I wasn’t going to get such a great guy get away because I was scared it might go wrong.
I decided then and there that loosing something potentially great will be worse than embarrassing myself.
I think you need to do the same. Imagine making the move, succeeding and him turning out to be the man of your dreams, now imagine everything going wrong, him not being interested in you at all and you getting hurt. Is the gain of the former worth the risk of the latter? Only you can decide.
Don’t worry about the blind dates though. Just because you heard some Koreans do it doesn’t mean he will as well.
As far as him having a girlfriend, I had a boyfriend when I met Kimchi Man…. :)
Hi~~ this blog is really great! :) thank you for answering every questions in here which helps us understand korean men. Haha. There’s this korean guy that had been so close to me, and we chat with each other almost everyday. But for the past 2 weeks, he didn’t send me any messages. I’m starting to get frustrated since i think i do like him and i thought he felt the same way. He started avoiding me. All my messages for him were already read but he didn’t even replied. I already told him that i like him yesterday but still, he just read it and didn’t even bother to reply. I don’t know what to do since he’s really sweet to me. ㅠㅠ hope you could help me. Thank you~~
Well, unfortunately, he looks he is not interested in you if he ignores whatever you write. If you still like him, tell him again that can you be my boyfriend? and get the clear answer so you know if you have to give up or not. Otherwise, he won’t reply to anything.
