It’s no news that Asian and Western cultures are as similar as sesame oil and coffee. The cultural differences range from taste in food to family values. And this is even more evident in dating. While there will be similarities, here are some of the differences that you will encounter the moment you step into the orient.

 

In the west, women tend to like who they like. They decide what they want and they go for it. In Asian dating though, women tend to mirror men. In the Asian dating culture, perseverance and patience usually will gain you the girl, eventually. This is because Asian girls tend to gravitate towards men who show the most interest in them. This may stem from the cultural thinking where women are usually dependent on men, not that they still are, Asian ladies are not called dragon ladies for nothing, it’s just that centuries of a certain mindset will always have its hold on a culture.

 

Another stark distinction with Asian girls is the need to be accepted and seen by society as a respectable woman. Nothing freaks them out more than being labeled as a whore or someone who sleeps around a lot. Again, do not be misled. They are into doing it as much as you, it’s just that the Asian culture still isn’t as open to sex as the west is. Just make it as though the idea of doing the deed was your idea completely and that you sort of “manipulated” her into it. This way, she will not be the one who initiated thus saving face.

 

In Asian dating, “boy-next-door” works better than “mysterious”. In the west, women tend to prefer the bad-boy-you-know-next-to-nothing-about images. There is just something about trying to pry the guy’s secrets from him that makes the girls go gaga. But when in the orient, a clean, fun and friendly approach is more accepted. Asians have this thing about saving face where they go to such lengths to make sure embarrassment is avoided at all costs. This is why being friendly is an easier way to get to an Asian girl’s heart as being the bad boy might take a wrong turn and the moment you embarrass the girl, it’s bye bye for you.

 

One more thing you might find different with Asian dating is how the traditional courtship dynamics are in play. Here, women need to be wooed. In the west, women tend to go for what they want, here, it is more typical for women to play hard to get. Have patience. As mentioned above, Asian girls respond to perseverance and patience. It will not be as easy to hook up with an Asian girlfriend as it would be with a western girl, but the benefits definitely outweigh the cons. These women will be most loyal to you and will be the sweetest girl in the world once you get her to say yes. And when we say yes, this means yes to being your official girlfriend. It is customary in Asia for you to be a couple before you get the benefits. This is all within the traditional view of relationships. There will always be exceptions, but mostly, this is the way most Asian girls think.
