Hi...
I totally know what you mean. I live in the Mid west. My high school consist of only 2 Asian guys . There's one Chinese guy and one Korean guy. The Korean guys looks pretty good (he looks like Won Bin:) while the Chinese guy looks
so..so..but also really nice :)
Non of us hardly ever really talk to each other because we are all in different grades with different classes. And it would be odd if there are only 3 Asian people in a school and they all hungout with each other:) We don't. It's funny because I feel that the Korean guys notices me because everbody at the school thinks I'm Korean. And the Chinese guy notices me because he knows I'm Chinese.
Almost all the guys at this school that have asked me out have been White so far...really because there are not much diversity here. I can't wait to have an Asian boyfriend...a good looking one...haha..maybe "Wonbin" will ask me out...?? 0oo0000ooo? 0_~
Kidding...
Yeah! I can't wait til college either ! It's going to be so cool!

Alright, ya'all, tired of all the whining & bitterness on post after post. Time to get off yer butts and ......just get off yer butts....
1. Register for multiple online dating services....I don't care WHAT you are interested in--same sex, different race, etc...just do something, for gods sake! Get about 20 GOOD casual photos taken of you and have your friends pick out the best ones for the ads. I swear all this whining....what's behind it? I'm positive there's something else that's holding folks back from getting what they want....are they afraid of their parents, are they secretely gay and putting the stay-away vibe to the opposite sex? Especially the angry nerd posts threatening a future bitter come-uppance on all rejecting females...yeah, angry bitter guys are like Spanish Fly on us girls....(NOT)...
2. Register with hobby groups, stuff you are interested in, with appeal to those of the opposite sex. Ms/Mr. Right is not going to drop through your window, or show up to your house delivering a pizza. This will help with shyness as well---and maybe get rid of some of that seething angry bitterness....
3. Volunteer, even with friends, at a local place, homeless shelters, nature refuges, old folks home, animal shelter....get the heck out of the house. This will help with shyness too & and the anger problem. Plus, I am sick to death of hearing PETTY things about race differences, like smells, etc. There's worthwhile things to be done in this world, and do we really need to worry about shallow crap like Louis Vitton bags, racial odors, chop stick vs. fork? I will never date another squeamish, angry, smell-phobic, "delicate flower"...
4. Sign up for gym with mixed genders, AND TRY new things---push your envelope hard, stretch yourself, say take a different class each semester at the community college in Tai Chi, or relaxation, or pottery, painting, nature photography, tribal drumming.........a happy busy person doing thrilling things is more worthwhile & charming than an angry, isolated person bitching about his ex of 2 years ago.....
5. Fresh-off-Boat: if folks have a hard time understanding you, they may unconsciously/consciously avoid you just to avoid feeling bad or embarrassed because they can't understand. Take accent reduction classes, and "Toast Master's" Clubs, it really helps with the communication and eases the awkwardness of people you talk to.
Goodluck, and don't give up. Fishing may take some hardwork and a lot of looking....and some of us may have to re-examine our wants/needs/values if we want to find comfort/love/acceptance....
Do something!!! Put your money where your mouth is....

My dream date:
Get picked up in a blue Honda CRV 2002, go to McDonald's and buy me chicken Mcnuggets, a large order of fries, ice cream sundae, two cheeseburgers, and another large order of fries. After eating all that, we can go watch Titanic at my house...that movie, or maybe Pearl Harbor.
Then for dinner, eat shanghai noodles.

ugh! I'm 18, about to graduate from high school. My dating experience has been, well, let's say 'nothing'. I live in an all white small town in CA, practically no Asians in my class. There are some that are just not my type. I guess I'm just not lucky or something, and guys that are not Asian have always considered me just as good friends. But then again, all my friends all have friends that are guys, and most of my close friends have never had a boyfriend. Maybe it's me and the people I hang out with, but it kinda sucks. Oh well, can't wait 'til college!! Has anyone had similar experiences?

Hi Quiet ABC male,
I am now in my mid-30's and never liked the bar scene. I think the idea of going to bars/clubs is overrated and over-played in the media as a "fun" thing to do, but it's still a good idea to check it out with some friends to see what it's all about. I think you might be happier trying to meet people by joining a club, than going to one. The likelihood of finding someone to talk to is probably higher --you are guaranteed to at least have a topic to discuss, and are not automatically eliminated if you aren't the right "type".

Quiet ABC male,
If you trying to met a girl with similar interest, there is no point doing the club scene or bar scene. You might want to do it for a while just to see if you like it, or if your distaste for it can be confirmed.
Both activities will require some other skills to be developed for full enjoyment.
Clubs - high tolerance for loud droning music and dancing.
Bars - high tolerance for loud droning people and alcohol consumption.
If meeting a girl with similar interest is the goal, then you should hang around places where girls of similar interest would be. College Library, Study groups, Asian student clubs, Cafes near college campuses, Lab partners, Indie movie showings etc.

Hi,
I would like to know what everyone thinks of what someone once told me. Do all or most twentysomethings really do the bar/club scene to have a good time? Is this practically a requirement among people my age? (22)
I'm kind of a bookworm, and I think that the fact that I'm not into those things at all makes it really hard for me to meet anyone, let alone girls. Adding to this problem is the fact that most of my leisure activities are things that can be enjoyed by one person, whether it be reading about Chinese culture, following TV series, watching films, or just talking.
Any thoughts?
