Asians and Dating

<p>Okay first of all let me say I am not asian, but I have many friends who are. Now I have come to realize after a few weeks something that seems really weird to me. I'll use one example to help explain. A junior girl liked a sophomore guy and a few days later they both found out that they liked each other (although I don't think they ever told each other, just through their friends (I was one of them and was encouraging the guy to ask the girl out)). Okay so, they didn't even tell each other they liked each other I think, and they definitely didn't ask each other out, yet some how they and everyone else seem to think they are together. On a joke that the soph guy and some random girl (it was kinda a game thing) would make a good couple, the junior girl said "he's taken :)". I kind of went off on her, I don't know why. I said how can he be taken? Neither of you asked each other out? Then she said well your standards are different than mine, I can't really date in the real way so this is all I can do. Ugh, it's just so weird. All the other asians seem to think it's normal. Am I missing something? I am also wondering if other asians across the country have similiar weird/immature relationships like this, or if it is just the extremely dorky asians in my city?</p>

<p>And my post count just hit 2^8 :D</p>

<p>huh? i have asian friends and not most of them are like this</p>

<p>Oh ok, thanks. Hmm it must just be my city then.</p>

<p>lol; my asian friend is kinda dorky too</p>

<p>My asian friend likes a blonde girl (which is WEIRD)
Now, the girl doesn't even know him, but he has been stalking her for like a year now, and he knows where she lives, phone #'s, aim, etc...
he asked her out on the following lines:
"We were destined to be together"
Of course she rejected him, and he is a fool. Apparantly, he's been trying too hard to get a girlfriend...(he asked a mexican girl, she said yes..but she dumped him the next day)</p>

<p>Haha, these stories are all really quite hilarious. I just think that we Asians are a little shy on the uptake...I would love to see an Indian or Chinese guy go up to a hot blonde girl and say "Hey baby, its your lucky day because I'm free tonight!!!" </p>

<p>Hmm, when I first logged on to this site, I thought that it was filled with a bunch of bright Caucasian kids; however, now that I have been here for about 4 months, I am starting to discover more and more users on this site that are Asian who I initially figured were white. You can't tell from the screennames I guess. Weird...</p>

<p>It's impossible to tell who's what. I'm Mexican. Would you be able to tell?</p>

<p>lol; Asians+White Blondes=end of universe....j/k.</p>

<p>BTW: Have you ever seen the movie "How High"?
It's quite hilarious, and you'll make good references toward asians being pimps...lol.</p>

<p>yeah not too many "aZnGuRLz" around</p>

I've done that before! It can work if she thinks you are funny. But otherwise you just look like a jackass!</p>

<p>I think that most Asian girls fall for asian guys who play RPG games 24/7. Or guys who are hooked on Final Fantasy and shiznat. If you ask me, it's nearly impossible to see nowadays a white guy and an asian girl dating...(with the exception of 3rd+ generation asian americans)</p>

<p>To respond about Indians; the indian guy i know is a pimp. man, this dude is desired by a lot of girls. He isn't the nerdy kind, but the smart/social kind. What a lucky bastard.</p>

<p>in response to the first post:
I've never seen that happen before and I think it's rather pointless. There are a lot of Asian-Americans who date nowadays - there are also a lot who don't. I do think trying to do both (in a way) is a silly waste of time...</p>

I've a few several white-guy+Asian/Indian-girl couples (I'm talking 2nd generation Asian/Indian), but I think you're right in that they're less common. My theory flows the opposite way though...I think white guys tend not to look to Asian/Indian girls. Guys tend not to be attracted to girls who they think are significantly smarter than them, at least from my experience. While not all Asian girls are extremely smart, the general stereotype of smartness still influences perceptions. The white-guy/Asian-girl couples I've seen have all been almost equally matched in terms of intellectualism...</p>

<p>thesloc: Haha, yeah, I'm a 3rd generation Asian girl and my last boyfriend was white (lasted a little more than a year) and before him, an Asian guy (lasted about 4 months long and we did kind of had a wierd relationship). I've liked guys of other races too though - Hispanic, Black, and Indian. :)</p>

<p>hey, i'm asian and i'm dating a tall, white, blonde guy. gee whiz lol. and i'm 1st generation (i think..)</p>

<p>more funny dating stories</p>

<p>lol@the asian guy stalking that girl</p>

<p>weird</p>

<p>At my school most of the Asian kids are second generation or first generation. Its an anomaly to see Asian+other races or Indian+other races. The sad thing is this is in NYC.
Interestingly, I have never dated anyone from my race EVER (indian).And I moved to this country four years back.</p>

<p>Mahras, what part of India are your from?</p>

<p>I'm an asian guy and i happen to like a blonde girl. We're really good friends, but i havent had a chance to ask her out yet. This year is my final chance as it is senior year.</p>

<p>At times, I wished I were some stud from a rich, prominent Irish family related to James Joyce, and had genes that my caucasian crush found attractive.</p>

<p>But when a relationship actually happens, it's normal? It isn't like a 6th grade relationship (for lack of a better way to describe it)? Because that's how the asian relationships are for the most part here lol..</p>

<p>Well, considering it's high school, you can't really do much... especially for Asians. What kind of relationship is "immature"?- I never really got that...
Most of the time, I usually tell him I like him, or vice versa.. wasn't really shy about that kind of stuff. But telling through friends is common, actually.. and it's not only reserved for Asian relationships.</p>
