I want to know your thoughts if this korean guy is serious about dating me or he’s just one of those play boys that I have encountered before.
My recent ex was japanese and I’ve also tried talking/dating to foreigners and I have international friends so I can tell that I’m knowledgeable enough when it comes to interacting with different races. I downloaded bumble again because I was bored and I thought that I’m ready to meet new people again with the intention of dating. To my surprise, compared to all men from my country (Philippines) that I’ve matched with, this korean man was the one whom I clicked with the most.
I think one of the factors is because I can speak korean and is knowledgeable about the culture that’s why the talking “worked” on some way. But I also think that it’s also because of his personality. I’ve talked to korean men before and so far, he was the most expressive and fun person that I’ve encountered. Of course I did not take the talking seriously at first because even though I admire korean culture, I don’t promote romanticizing dating korean people (even other races). I just thought that it would be fun to have some new connections so I continued talking to him. Apparently, he downloaded bumble and used travel mode because he was planning on going to my country and he wants to meet a local that can help him in giving him a tour because he will be going with a friend without any itinerary.
Our talks became consistent everyday (on instagram) until he asked me out on a date once he landed here in ph. I agreed because it was very comfortable talking to him online (he often initiated talks, he was really good with asking questions about myself etc.) so I thought it would be fun to meet him in person. A week before his arrival, I was kind of touched because even though it will be his first time to travel here, he was the one who’s trying to find places to plan a date near my city. I was shocked because he sent me a location of a shooting range place on a city I recommended him on going 😭 He also downloaded the taxi app I suggested because he said he’ll be the one to go to my city (the hotel he stayed in was 2 hours away from my city)
Fast forward, we met for the first time in this mall in my city and went to a shooting range. It was a bit awkward at first but it became okay not long after. He was actively asking questions, making jokes, and treated me with respect. He also took videos of me while I’m shooting which I really like because I like it when someone films me while on a date. Oh and I didn’t mention, he asked permission to bring this korean guy friend on our date and tbh, it was an additional fun because I also became friends with him and became our kind of a “third wheel”.
He didn’t let me spend a dime. The shooting range activity was kind of expensive plus we went on a game center and did nonstop bowling. I brought them to a filipino restaurant afterwards and ordered all my food suggestions. He was very appreciative because he thinks that I exerted so much effort just because I agreed on accompanying him. He then said that I am his type & then expresses his interest on a possible romantic connection because he really liked being with me and complimented me lots of times on how prettier I am in person.
Before going back to korea, I sent filipino snacks and pastries with a note to his hotel. I must admit that I was sweet to him. He then posted it on his story and tagged me. When he landed to korea, he posted the pictures from our date and he even put our picture on his highlights. Even after going back to korea, we’re still currently talking consistently and our bond became stronger. He said that he planned on going back here on october but he is now planning on going back earlier than that because he misses me already (apparently 😭). I forgot to mention — he’s in his mid twenties!
