Ok, you're supposed to call a girl or text a lot during the day, but are they supposed to text and call you back alot, or at least answer all of them??

I find that i am the one initiating the calls and texts but im not getting the same enthusiasm back. I already got a kiss from her, so im assuming im doing something right. But I feel I may be <eek> playing second fiddle to someone else she may be "seeing"---at least thats what it seems like on the outside.

So whats been your experiences with them calling you back or matching you text for text? it was so much easier back home, eh. (at least Western girls will either tell you they like you, or its so obvious you have to be an idiot NOT to know.)

I cant tell if she likes, me, i mean really likes me. she's so introverted, i dont know what it is. so in turn, im throwing hints out at her about how i feel, but she wont step up to the plate and reciprocate. its been 3 or so weeks we've been talking (oh, btw she's 30 years old K-age). help a brotha out with this, because the lack of indecisiveness on her part, and how she's holding in her emotions/feelings is starting to bother me (and ive been more than patient), and she knows how i feel. so what gives Shocked

she has a few guys on the go, most korean girls do.. she will play both guys and then decide which way she wants to go. if she choses the Korean side becuase she doesnt want the whole foreign mix marriage thing and see dating only you as time wasted for her to find a good korean guy she may just continue seeing you sometimes for FUN..
if she steps up to the plate then she is down with the whoe foreigner boyfriend thing and then it might become more seriuos...

to Korean women.. finding the best boyfriend is important..and the best husband.. you might of just found a girl who is curious about foreigners..
arrange to meet up for dinner, take her out for a drink, dancing and have fun..

If a kal is kissing you she likes you. Simple. You may not be the only one she likes though.

well, i do know she spent some time in Europe and has had 3 foreign boyfriends, but ill tell you what, im sick of the one-sided texting and calling without much attempt on her part. how the hell am i supposed to know if she likes me if she doesnt show (at least in that way) me? Its hard to know. . . so im sitting here in limbo wondering...
should i chill with the texting/calling for a few days and she if she comes around?? or would that give off the wrong impression to her, cause i thought guys should STAY showing interest or else they think you dont like them anymore, and bolt? so crazy Rolling Eyes cause im also sick of feeling like a maniac stalker with the limited responses from her (which she takes a while to text back, too) and the lack of initiating on her part. she's not the materialistic type, so yea, im confused Mad

ignore her. This is one of the most tightly-populated countries in the world, you can literally run into another girl who's into you just by stepping outside and walking around haphazardly.

Besides, whiny attention whores hate being ignored. Its win-win for you really.

If she's had three foreign BF's, she knows the score, introverted or not. If you were the first foreign country person she'd dated, maybe she's just shy, but this is not the case. Stop being so nice. Drop hints, act like a cad, you have nothing to lose.

well, i guess i misspoke, i flat out told her i liked her, but again, indecisiveness on her part left me wondering if she liked me back. she needs to come out and tell me whats up, cause im too old for this beating around the bush BS

There's your answer. Actions speak louder than words. As Master Hightop said, she likes you if you're kissing each other. Otherwise, move on. There are hundreds of pancake-bottomed girls out there in Seoul.

I have found that with introvert Korean women that the best thing is to ignore them. Girls in general love the attention. If she really likes you she will contact you.

Korean girls are an element that is hard to describe. I have dated girls who are quite confident and communicative who will text and call and I have dated those who are shy and introverted who will text and call.

I was seeing this girl (as a friend) and we would talk about relationships. She told me that she wanted to be in a relationship with someone that spoke Korean. As I don't speak Korean I thought that this was the brush off.

Silly me. Korean girls want you to work for it and prove to them that you are the right one for them.

But when you are dealing with a 25 year old or younger they are there to play most of the time.

It sounds like you're on probation, she's still trying to figure out how much she likes you. In a week or two from now you can expect her to either fall hopelessly in love and latch onto you like a duckling, or completely disappear off the face of the earth.

Take a step back and stop calling and texting her. If she comes back, it was meant to be. If she doesn't come back, she was meant to be free.


Sweet cliche.

I wouldn't give that much attention unless I was in a relationship. And even then you have to ease up if things aren't going so well.

A lot of this advice about texting constantly is cultural-based. But in reality, all women in the world run away from too much attention.

Take a step back and give her breathing space. You might find she starts to reciprocate then.

It goes both ways. Too many K-women think all they have to do is sit back while you move heaven and earth to impress them. Don't get suckered into trying to earn their approval when oftentimes they aren't really worth it in the end.
