6 Things You Need to Know Before Getting Serious with Your Asian-American Date (Part 2)

Asian-american womanWe’ve already done Part 1 of this post which you can check out here. We’re compiling a few things for you to know so you don’t have to cross any kind of ocean to find the Asian love of your life. Part 2 is just as informative as part 1 so keep on reading:

7. Tea and everyone else.

Drinking tea will be inevitable especially if you’re dining with your Asian-American date’s family. You better learn to like drinking tea if you want to make a good impression. Here’s a great tip that you can write down: when drinking tea, refill everyone else’s cup before your own starting from the oldest to the youngest.

8. Your Asian-American date knows how to play an instrument.

Don’t be surprised if your Asian-American date knows how to play the flute or the violin. Most Asian parents really pay attention to their children’s activities when growing up. This includes learning how to play a musical instrument. It’s not really for show or it’s not for forming some kind of band in the future. Asian parents believe that a child will grow up well-rounded if they learn how to do so.

9. Asian superstition.

No matter how much Western culture your Asian-American date was exposed to, she will still be superstitious to some degree. Probably, the most common ones that she believes in will be superstition about bad luck like sweeping the floor at night, whistling at night, doing things during certain dates and so on. Better get used to it!

10. My critical family.

This is an early warning for you. Your Asian-American date’s family will be very critical of her so don’t be surprised if they pour down words of criticism on her while you’re around. It usually happens and she may not think much of it, but she will feel embarrassed when you’re around to hear everything. She’ll be criticised about her weight, probably about dating you, about school, about her activities and, generally, everything. They’re not really hard criticisms but the family will mention it one way or the other. Again, get used to it.

11. The Asian drama factor.

Don’t over react when you find your Asian-American date over dramatising things. All Asain girls love Asian dramas and your date is no exception. We mention this because they’re mostly the culprit to most Asain girl’s over-reaction to things. Have you ever seen one episode? Start with one and see how you feel after watching it. It may help you understand your date better.

12. The Asain-nerd stereotype is true.

This is arguable but most of our observations tell us that this one is true. Some Asian-Americans may not seem like it but, they actually have a nerdy side deep down. Your date’s the same thing. She definitely has something that she geeks out on (probably Anime) and you’ll know it when you’re close enough. In fact, this is one way of telling if she’s really into you or not. If she shows you her nerdy side then that means she likes you.

Part1 and Part 2

That’s a wrap for this two-part post. We hope that you’ve learned something. If you’re in doubt, feel free to ask your Asain-American friends about it. Just don’t forget to comment on or share this post!
