Manager and owner told my wife and another Korean co-worker that they absolutely had to stop hanging out with me and my American buddy. As well, that if they really wanted to go out with foreigners, they should stick to the Kyopo we were working with. They ignored them. Now we're all married and both couples have a baby.



Did you invite your boss to your wedding? Twisted Evil


I think the invite got lost in the mail... But we were sure to pay the old hogwan a visit when my wife was 8 months on. The looks on their faces was priceless!

My GF was friend with the people I was replacing when I came to Korea. So, I actually met her in my apartment as she was taking care of their bills. We worked together for 2 weeks before she left. She was friends with all my friends and we still hung out as a group periodically for about the next 7 months.

She knew I wanted to meet a girl, so one night she hooked me up with one of her friends. We all went out to dinner, friend got food poisoning and had to go to the hospital. That night was depressing, I didn't really like the girl anyways though. Anyways, next day, bored out of my skull, I wanted to go to COEX and see what it was all about and she was doing nothing, so we went together. We started dating that day at COEX, which happens to be 3 years ago tomorrow. I met her parents a month later and they really liked me, so things have been great. She came to my hometown after about 5 months and my parents loved her.

We lived together for a year and a half because of work, and now we haven't lived together for a year because of work, but we are getting a place this month that suits us both.

THE END.

I was on my lunch break, had just ordered food and my boss called. Could you please come back to the hagwon and interview this Korean teacher who had walked in. I was head foreign teacher, and my school was still treating me well(this was 2 1/2 years ago) so I agreed, it was just upstairs anyways. I walked in to see this handsome, muscular Korean man, not the typical style. He stood up and introduced himself, called me "Ma'am" with his darling Texan drawl(which he has sadly lost now, more Canadian sounding.boo.). I interviewed him, was very impressed. When I cam back from lunch, I swiped his number off his resume. He had just finished his 2 year army service and had no foreign friends in Bucheon. It was his hometown but he'd grown up in Austin, Texas for 20 years. I sent him a text message inviting him to join me and my friends for dinner sometime. After finishing for the night, I found I had 3 text messages, 3 missed calls and 2 voice messages from him. He came back for dinner that night, we hired him, and the rest is history. We've been together since, married a year now, and have our first baby on the way.
Love him more everyday!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I met her on http://wwwfreeingrishUVlove.com. She was over 30 and desperate to marry anyone. She also had 3 kids and needed a passport out the country. After unwittingly helping her pass her TOEIC exam she found a better job at samsung, then she decided she didn't need support anymore and cut the cord. Suddenly stopped replying to all calls etc. I was actually worried about her and checked the casualty wards etc, but no. I couldn't ccall her family or friends as she'd been too ashamed of being with a waygook to introduce me.

It was then I decided to do the korean way. After kidnapping her from her apartment and forcing her on a ferry to an island, I became a man and forced myself on her. The next day she suddenly wanted to marry me, and I've been working 19 hours a day to pay her kiddies entrance fees to harvard ever since. Its a happy arrangement. I get some action once a year from the barber shop and she hangs onto my passport.

That's the single most romantic story I have ever read. I am wiping the tears off as I type.

We met at a party hosted by a common friend.

We started talking and hit it off pretty much right there and then. Asked her out and we went to dinner the following week. Knew she was the one pretty soon after that.

Got married the following year. We have been married since 1999 and have a 3 year old son.

My boss back then gave us a 2 week paid holiday for our honeymoon which was a complete shock as I worked for a Hakwon that required us to work Mon-Sat (the good old days!).

She (former boss by then) even insisted on giving us a house warming gift 2 years later when we bought out first appartment. She showed up in person to tell us she had bought a home appliance for us (laundry machine)....that lady is a class act all the way. She did the same when our son was born and insisted on buying a gift. Laughing

homer, the more I read your posts the more I see you as a rebel. this is movie material, I tell you.



I met my current girl at an outside karoke bar. She is korean and staying here in the p.I's for a year to study. I was playing pool and this group of koreans come in all pisssed and take over the keroke machine and while I am playing I hear this angel singing the most beatiful rendition of
call me by blondie. I was drunk and I just watched her, and then went over and put in my pesos and played limp bizkit HOME SWEET HOME and sang and the group of koreans went wild, and the sun went up, and the next thing I knew there were 7 students in my apartment and she was asleep on the couch with her friend and from that day she has not gone home.

A few crazies and disturbed stalker-prone chicks, yes. Easy, no.

Speaking of myths, Homer's post is pure BS-it's a FACT that Homer met his better half this way.

It's true.
