"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Im a white guy and Ive been with a ABC girl for 7 months now. I was just wondering if there are other guys out there in my situation or a support group or something to talk about all the retarded little things she does.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Wait,when you say ABC do you mean American Born Chinese?
If so..then I've never been in your position before.
However, I do have experience with what people commonly refer to as ABCDS(American Born Confused Desis).

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

1) At dim sum (chinese tea-lunch) with her parents the other day, I took a little sticky-rice wrap (there were four...). Apparently I was supposed to share that with everyone else instead of taking my own. She said later in the car that that's the type of thing might make her parents think "Oh he's just a dumb white guy, he will never adapt to our culture". I was like WTF

2) She gave me a sob-story yesterday about how she's a minority and what it's like to feel hated...blah blah blah. I said sorry for all that stuff she's experienced. But I lived in China for 3.5 months with her, where I was the only white person within a 5 mile radius. She said that's different, cuz everyone likes me over there.

3) She seriously ****ing burnt popcorn in my house, and now my house smells funky.

I dont see these things as roadblock...cultural difference..does these issues bother you a lot?
what do you want with this girl ?
Bang?
if she hot and fun
Continue to seduce, flirt have fun...
ignore the rest

1) watch before you jump..so let her take inititative when you are at dinner/dim sum ..observe for next time

2) If she feel hated, give her love that she needs..

3) she burnt popcorn..make her clean you kitchen in bikini...

How old are you? You gotta try to adapt to Asian culture...after 7 months has she not taught you anything? In Asian culture you have to be super respectful. Its different then American. If it bothers you so much you gotta weigh things out whether you want to stay with this girl or not.

If the problems outweigh the good things in the relationship...then you need to leave the relationship. Things like this will occur if you date races outside of your cultural background so learn to adapt or just date white girls.

Maybe you want an FOB. :crackup: Actually a lot AFs are high maintenance and feel entitled so if you don't like it just dump them.

if he's crying over popcorn, I don't think he'd be able to handle a fob
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

She is the first Asian girl Ive been with, and I've been with ~10 other white American/European girls previously. Backpacking around Asia had such a profound experience on my life...especially China, and I would like to continue the culture I learned over there and adapt to be good boyfriend, whatever she sees that as. I am learning a lot of 國語 (Mandarin) and Chinese culture (I was there for fuggin 3.5 months..), but it really disappointing when she says stuff like "you will never fit in, you are just like the other dumb 外國人 (white ppl)".

Any ABCs or white guys who have dated ABCs to clue me in? Or does it not even matter?

A friend of mine is Asian. Her boyfriend did a very wise thing: he approached the parents. Introduced himself, and then told them that he knew very little of their culture, especially when it came to daily habits. So he told them, that if he ever did anything wrong, or they felt irritated by his behaviour, they should simply ask him about it.

They did and they never had much problems. Most of the time, if he does something they find weird, they'll laugh about it and that's it. They accept him, because he showed respect.

My advice: talk to the parents. And research the region her parents are from.
