i was telling her i might ask out a korean girl and was asking for dating advice and cultural differences...

her last bit of advice was "do not be in too much of a hurry to get close... you know what i mean? SKINSHIP ^**^"

"skinship". it has now been added to my vocabulary.

no I don't quite know what you mean. Do you mean "do not try to become close too quickly therefore do not do "skinship", or do you mean do not try to become close to quickly, instead do something which is called skinship?" Thanks.

Skinship doesn't mean gettin' it on. It's more along the lines of gettin' really friendly-like and touchy-feely.

I think he means don't get to close, don't have a skinship. I'm guessing skinship means you have regular sex?

It actually seems to happen pretty quickly with relationships here LOL.

Skinship is any physical contact between two people with romantic possibilities, not necessarily sex. It includes holding hands, kissing, etc.

women will you usually advise you to do the opposite of what you need to do...they're testing you, and want to see how much you will pay for them before they let you so much as hold hands with them.
Don't believe or trust them!!!!!!!!! thats the best advice.

It's Konglish and that would possibly make it Korean slang.

So my 7th grade middle school boys last year were romantically involved with each other? Ew.

It's always worked for me. Women know within 3 minutes whether they are interested in you, the rest is just a game. They want to play, but secrectly they want to lose. Plus, pusing it and finding a negative answer saves you lots of time, if it was no the first time it will be no next week anyway. Then you're free to keep looking.

I think your female Korean friend is interested in you and would like to try a little skinship of her own with you.
