The "friend factor" and what it means.
This article is not about dating Asians in America, Britian or other western countries. It is about living and dating Asian singles in their own country. This applies to Taiwan, China, Thailand and other Asian countries.
I call it the "friend factor". You meet a nice, attractive Asian girl, and you muster up the courage to ask her out on a date, and somehow she even says 'yes'! Woohoo, your of and running. But wait....there's more.
So you show up at the appointed time and place look around and she's not there. No problem, Asian punctuality is not the same as western punctuality. If she is ten or fifteen minutes late, then she is "on time". You glance around, and see her walking towards you. You smile, she smiles, life is good. But wait, who are all those other people with her? I thought this was a date.
She walks up and says "I hope you don't mind if I bring my friends?". What can you say? "Ok, no problem". She then proceeds to introduce all her friends or sisters or brothers or whatever they happen to be. The rest of the "date" is an awkward time with you sitting there as her and her friends talk and laugh. Then the bill comes....Rule #1, don't pay for all her friends. Just don't. The sad truth, is that many Asian girls and Asian people in general think ALL westerners that come their country are rich. Your goal is to find a nice girlfriend or wife not to find one of many girls looking for a free ride for themselves and thier friends/family. If a girl surprises you by bringing half the family or friends and expects you to pay for everything, then you just learned more than you need to know about her. Move on.
This same "friend factor" of bringing along friends to the first few dates also happens with perfectly wonderful girls and this will the subject of Part 2.......
Part 2 coming soon.......
