I don't really think the particular behavior that you are mentioning is a 'Korean guy' thing, but just a 'he's not that into you' thing.
Just move along and find someone else that is better for you. Like someone above posted - if he's not borderline stalking you then he's not all that interested or just keeping you around in the hopes that he might get lucky later.

Theres absolutely noting wrong with playing the field.

Has anyone else noticed that Korean guys will seem really interested in you one day, then the next day go cold and then come back and seem really interested in you again another day and so on?

Is this a cultural thing? It keeps happening to me where they go hot and cold and then hot again. Ive been trying to figure out what it means/why it happens. Maybe we could get some insight from someone dating/married to a Korean guy.

He's probably acting that way to test your responsiveness. basically he's baiting you to play the game. If you're attracted, then he is given the green light to move a bit closer. If you brush him off then he'll figure you're not very interested in him. Korean men seem to be rather timid in their game of chase. Typically, he'll follow a Korean girl around for days, to prove his interest. She'll turn him down to test his resolve, but eventually he'sll give in. There's another thread on Dave's that addresses this very subject. You never did say what your interest in the fellow was.. if he's making you uncomfortable, tell him that you are just friends, or open up and give him a shot.

I'm not saying there is. But we were all under the impression at the beginning that she was looking for a relationship with a particular person.
