If your parents are against your international relationship, you need to know why they are against it. If they are against it because of their personality, then it is fine. However, if they are against your relationship just because they are out of your race or foreigners, then I think you shouldn't care about them too much. Your life is your life. Your marriage is your marriage. You live your life, and you and your spouse work your marriage. No one does it for you. You need to know if your girlfriend/boyfriend make you happy, that is all that matters. One thing that you need to remember is you shouldn't date him/her just because you want to be rebellious to your parents. You might feel that you are Romeo or Juliet since they are against you. You might think that that is more fun and exciting because they are against it so it must be forbidden love and more thrilling. However, you need to know that when parents are against your love, there must be reasonable reasons. So, you ne...

Obviously, when Korean people go out on a date, they do the same things as other people such as going to a coffee shop, eating at a restaurant, going to the movies, going to a sport event, etc. However, there are some places where Korean people like to go when they are hanging out with their friends or dating. 1. 노래방( Noraebang) Karaoke Karaoke is a place where you can sing with your friends. Korean people love to sing. Even couples go to noraebang to sing together. 2. Coffee shop As you can see, coffee shops are partitioned. They want to have private tables for them, so lots of coffee shops which are partitioned are popular among couples.  It is like you have your own private space to drink coffee (or make out?). 3. DVD room This is a place where you can watch movies in a very small theater. When you go inside, you choose what movie you want to watch and then watch it in a room. Since DVD rooms can be used as hotels (some people go there to make out and more!), minors can not...

My parents were never conservative people. They were quite open-minded. Especially, my mom had been to many different countries, so she had met many different people from different cultures. However, it must have been really hard for my parents to accept James as my boyfriend. There were many different reasons, but one of them was the language. My mom always dreamed that she and her son-in-law can be good friends and she can treat him as her son since she doesn't have a son. Being able to communicate with each other was quite important for my mom when it comes to a son-in-law. My mom knew that I don't date someone I would not think about marrying, so she must have not liked the fact that James couldn't speak good Korean and she couldn't speak good English. Things were not easy. I uploaded a video on youtube one day for a video response to a video asking if all asians parents are quite against international relationships. The girl who uploaded the video deleted it after ...

Let me give you some tips that you need to know when you are dating a Korean girl or when you want to make your Korean girlfriend happy. 1. Korean girls like publicity. If you show your affection in public, she will seem shy, but she will like it. That is why Korean men are always very stressed about how they can make the woman happy by organizing some special party or proposal usually in public (or with bunch of friends). 2.

You might need to get prepared to do these things when you have a Korean boyfriend or girlfriend. 3. Korean girls are quite passive in relationships. They li...
