Dating a Chinese guy is either of these three: risk, investment and gamble. Women who have experienced dating a Chinese guy have posted their thoughts on their blogs, sharing their tips for those who might want to try the Asian type.
Chinese guys are generally attractive for some women, and are less attractive for others because of cultural stereotypes. If you think the tips about dating a Chinese guy will be as shallow as to how to properly use the chopsticks, think again. These ladies have had valuable experiences that make them share deeper thoughts.
Tip No. 1: Prepare for Asian men who 'fight for the bill'
You might probably ask, "What wrong with this?" Dating a Chinese guy and other Asian men will make you feel less empowered when it comes to paying the bill. Website Just My Type said the Asian guy "will swoop like a properly trained ninja and attack the dinner cheque before you can even do that 'reach' for your wallet." This is a "learned behaviour" from their ancestors, the website added.
Tip No. 2: Expect marriage conversations, as Chinese guys 'date for marriage'
When dating with a Chinese guy, expect some conversations about marriage. Website Yoyo Chinese said Chinese men begin pondering over marriage earlier in the relationship. If you are the girl who goes on a date to play around, you might be breaking the Chinese guy's heart.
Tip No. 3: Don't be shocked when they carry your purse
A showcase of masculinity maybe? Walking around China, Hong Kong or Korea will make you encounter men carrying design handbags on their arms. Yoyo Chinese said this is a norm especially when dating younger Chinese guys who are the ones who mostly carry their girlfriend's purse.
Tip No. 4: If you are serious about the relationship, make sure he makes time for you
A girl shared her experiences dating a Chinese guy by writing a post on Reddit. She said she dated a rich Chinese guy and got along, doing grocery shopping together or taking a walk around the city. But their relationship ended because the guy had a busy, fast-paced life.
"Before parting, he forced me to accept a gift to remember him by," the girl wrote, not revealing her name. "The white jade bangle hangs on my arm in remembrance of the guy who taught me so much about living life and accepting."
Tip No. 5: It's not yet final until the parents say yes
The relationship might go stronger, but this might be put to waste should the parents of the guy does not agree with you two being together. Blogger Sara Jaaksola started dating a Chinese guy back in her hometown. She reminds women that the final say is always with the parents, and this acceptance is important even when the couple is both Chinese
Sara succeeded in earning the parent's trust and acceptance. She revealed on her blog that she has been married to a local Guangzhou boy for more than a year now.
