    Hello! I wanna know your opinion about my story. Here it goes…
    I use different social sites and meet Koreans online. I am learning it alone so I am seeking their help always. One day, a Korean guy e-mailed me. He told me that he found my e-mail address in a site. It doesn’t matter to me so I welcomed him whole-heartedly. We became good friends. He told me he was a teacher in Korea and wants to learn English fluently. So, we exchange languages and help each other. We always chat. One day, he told me he wants to go to my country to study English. I am happy that he trusts my country’s quality of education so I told him that he is much welcome. Many Korean friends did the same, saying that they will go here to study but actually not. I didn’t expect him to do as he says. I was surprised when he told me that he will be here the following week. I am happy that I am going to have another personal Korean friend. When he arrived here, the following day, we met. He looks 5 years younger than his real age. He is 15 years older than my present age which is 18. That was our first meeting and we hang-out. We had a great time. We talk everyday thru social apps. or via messaging. After 1 week or more, he said he likes me. I just laughed at him and took that as a joke. However, he keeps on saying he likes me and told me he will go to my place every week. He also had a gift for me. I am happy because of his kindness but I am also afraid that he is really serious about me. Although he is a real professional and has the personalities that I like in a guy, I still don’t know if I am ready to love him. I don’t really care about his age but I need to be sure of what might happen. Please help me!! Do you think he really likes me?? I hoping for your quick response. Thank you!!!!!

      It really sounds like he has feeling for you. He came over to visit you and he even told you so. The question is, do you want to date him and see what happens?

    Hello,

    So my ex and I were together for 6 months before we broked up. He was 28 and I was 19. He lived in Indiana and I in Cali. We meet online and he came to cali to met me. He went back to Indiana since he was off on break from school. Soon after I went to Indiana and stood a few days there and came back. We were unable to seperate from each other.

    We ended up having a misunderstanding and to show him how much I cared I flew to Indiana for him. I stood there for 2 months and loving every minute of it. Sadly I had to come back to Cali for his schooling was getting stressful and I didnt want to be a distraction.

    He suddenly started saying that I should live my life since I was still young and that he doesnt want to hold me back. I have told him multipul time that i dont go out or party since I was raised in a strict household and my dream was to get married young and be a housewife. So he toldme to call him in a year after hes done wirh school if I still wanted to talk to him. I waited! We only talked twice in that year..and a half!

    I couldnt take it anymore so I called him to ask if we can continue were we left off like he said. He said he missed me but said that his life is to complicated for a gf and that I should just find someone else and be happy. I told him I couldn’t think about anyone else but that was no good. I tried to be mature about, since he sees me young. I tried to be cool about it and we broked up in “good” terms.

    Apologies if it so long but my question is, Is there any chance that he may look for me again? He ended up going back to korea, i believe due to his visa problems, but I had told him that I would follow him where ever he wanted to go. I dont want to continue waiting for something that will never come.

    I would highly appreciate some feedback.
    THANK YOU!

    My Korean boyfriend and I have been dating for a litttle over 3 months… when we first started dating, we were both on summer vacation but now we are bothe back in school and he is super busy. W2e have a time difference as well. Where as we use to talk for at least five hours a day, now we barely talk at all. Would he make time to talk to me if he actually cared? Or is it normal for him to be absorbed in his school work? I’m so confused and I don’t know what to do. I talked to him and asked to talk more and all he said was that he hadn’t been around his phone lately… help!

    I am married to a Korean man, but I am only 1/2 Korean. I don’t have many Korean girl friends, but his friends keep asking me to help them find girlfriends (Korean or foreign). Does anyone know where to find girls who like Korean men who could exchange Kakao IDs or Facebooks? I don’t know anything about finding dates as I met my husband on a bus. Help please!

    Hi, I’m Brittany from USA and I’m 27 years old. I’m African American. I’m currently studying at a local community and planning on transfering to a state univiversity in fall 2015. I’m planning on studying abroad in Korea in fall 2016. the Chusok Holiday is on September 15, 2016. I’m just thinking about meeting SHINee’s Jonghyun’s sister, Sodam at her job at KBS and let her know about me and want to ask her if she and Jonghyun want hang out with me and some friends and ask her in a week before Chuseok that “is it ok with you if I can eat with your family on Chuseok?” I want to be their family friend because of their personality. I don’t want to be friends with Jonghyun just because he’s famous. He will be very disappointed. I want to be friends with him because he’s endearing and fun to be with. if he doesn’t have any schedules, I would want to invite him and Sodam over to hang out with me and some friends so we can get to know each other better. I don’t care if Jonghyun is a celebrity. I know everything about the Korean culture, customs and etiquette. I’m studying Korean daily. SoDam speaks english very well and Jonghyun speaks a little English. So how do I get them to invite me over to eat with their family for Chuseok? I can bring some gifts for them. Thank you! :)
