Ok, I work with an attractive, thin, friendly young Korean woman who just graduated from college this year before taking this job. Many students call her "beautiful" so I guess she'd be attractive to Korean guys. I'd say she's not bad, although not really my type.

She's single, very available, 25, and hoping to marry soon. She wants to meet a tall Korean guy, and works here in Bundang. That's all I know.

No, she doesn't want a foreign guy.. sorry dudes.

Does anyone else work with a Korean guy who'd be a match for her?

More info please. Tall is a good start, but what other aspects does she like in guys?

I'm sorry to say, that could be her downfall
I say that for 2 reasons;

1. I know from painful personal experience that the more a person looks for love, the more disappointed they can get from it. It is better that she just let it happen.
I have seen so so many people hooked up, married and then about 3 to 4 years later say "Oh! I made a poor choice" for a number of reasons. the best thing for her to do is to go to church and mingle there or such.

2. If she limits herself to just one type of person, she could also be left out of happiness. What makes her think that she couldn't be happy with a foreigner? What makes her think she would be happy with a Korean? I think nationality or race should not play any part in finding happiness.

Love is like a new book. Sure, you don't know what you are getting yourself into at first. But the further you read, the more fascinated you might become.

I wrote a horror novel once and the prelude to the first chapter was;
"If love is blind...so is death"

There are 2 things we don't know about; love and death
both can happen anywhere, anytime. Can we control Love?
yes and no.
Yes, because they are our feelings and thus as human beings, we tend to use logic when trying to evaluate our emotions.
No, because part of falling in love is destiny (sad, a logical person like me preaching about "destiny"). If 2 people are destined (and not destined) to be with each other, then nothing can ever stop them from feeling love.

She told me this stuff because I asked her about it and wondered why she didn't have a bf. She said her most recent bf dumped her after 3 months because he wanted to date around and she wanted to think about future.

Derreck, I have a korean co-teacher who I wish I could match with someone. He was dumped by his last girlfriend, and seems to be a bit depressed these days. My girl students teased him about wearing the same clothes over and over (a sign of depression, i think) and he went out and bought some new clothes. He is the sweetest Korean guy I know, though a bit of mystery... He IS a smoker. And this can be a big deal to some women, so maybe you should ask her if she cares about that.
But all that said, I have no idea HOW one would go about matching them Wink

Mostly, because he never wants to hang out with me so I wouldnt know how to put the two of them together, seemingly by accident or on purpose.

Introduce their mothers and then let nature (& choreographed romance) take its course.

Aaaaaaccckkkk!! Smoking.

I don't know if she'd be interested in a smoker or not. Just a guess.

I don't know if this is an inappropriate question...but a picture perhaps? And she's 25 in Korean age, right? As in born in 1981?

Ok, she's shy to tell me much about what she wants in a guy. I will work on the photo thing next week. She wants someone older than her, but only up to about 32. She said she doesn't mind if he's religious or not. She isn't expecting a rich dude at all. I asked her if she wanted to find a guy with a certain job, and she said that the job didn't matter very much.

She is a graduate of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, I think (I believe that's what she told me before).

Not sure about the exact age 25 or 26. This is her first job out of school.

I'll work on getting a photo soon, but obviously I won't just openly post it here!
