Tips For Dating A Korean Girl

Now that you know how to meet a Korean girl, it's time for some tips and tricks. This section will contain some stereotypes, so just be aware that this does not cover all Korean girls.

1. Korean Culture

When looking to date Korean girls it is vital to understand the dating culture in Korea and also general Korean culture. The latter, especially when you are looking for a serious long-term relationship.

Korean culture is quite different form Western culture. When you look at the history of Korea, you'll see that many social rules are based on Confucianism. The main believes of Korean Confucianism are as follow: hierarchy, respect for elders, education, loyalties & a sense of duty.

The previous century was very hard for South Korea as you had the Japanese Occupation, the Korean War, the Cold War and a fast industrial revolution. This has shaped Koreans to be very hard working and strong minded.

A good education, attending a top university and getting a job at a big company is what parents expect from their children. The culture is based on saving face, achievements, community and strong family bonds.

Korean parents are generally more accepting of their daughter marrying a foreigner than if their son would like to date a foreigner. Most Korean girls are raised to respect men, take a more passive role in the relationship and some are even trained to become housewives. This is slowly changing, as more and more Korean girls are career focused. In marriage, the man is expected to be financially stable, the head of the household and to be strong.

2. Marriage And Family

The big dream of most Korean girl is getting married and have a family. This is again slowly changing as more and more woman are career focused. If you are dating a Korean girl, it is important to be very clear about your intentions.

Korean children mostly live with their parents until they are getting married, just be aware of this as you will not be able to stay over at her place.

Girls will probably not mention or introduce you to her family unless she's sure your relationship will lead to marriage. As Korean parents are very protective about their children, they will probably meddle in your relationship. Especially if you live in Korea, close to your in laws.

If your future parents in law don't approve of you, it is very likely that she will break of the relationship.

3. Materialism & Appearance

Materialism and appearance is very important in Korean culture. This is not only important for girls but for all Koreans. Fancy clothes, luxury cars, dining at expensive restaurants are common things. Materialism in Korea seems a bit more extreme than in Western countries. The reason for this is the rapid industrialisation period Korea went through and the need to succeed.

Someones success and power needs to be acknowledged and seen by others. These is no better way of showing your success by have the latest expensive clothes.

Another way this need for appearance and materialism is expressed sometimes is by doing plastic surgery. Have plastic surgery done is very common among both men and women. South Korea is the country of plastic surgery and some of the most common procedures are double eyelid surgery, nose surgery and v-line surgery.

4. Consider The Future

There are a couple things you want to ask yourself if you are looking to date a Korean girl.

If you are living outside Korea, are you willing to fly to Korea to meet the girl you met online? And if you want to start living together or get married, are you willing to move to Korea or can you support the girl to move to where you are living?

If you are already living in Korea, then are you willing to stay in Korea with the girl you met or can you support the girl to move back home with you?

5. Study Korean

Even if you are looking to date Korean girls that are fluent in English, you might want to study some Korean. Learning her native language shows how dedicated you are in your relationship and might really impress your future in-laws, especially if they don't speak English.

6. Respect

Like dating in any culture, treat the women with respect. Womanisers and players are a big turn off for most Korean girls. Most girls are looking for long term and serious relationships.

Don't only respect the girl but also the culture and religion. A big percentage of the Korean population is Christian and if you are dating a Christian girl, respect her religion and her dedication to her religion.

Be aware that sex doesn't usually take place in the early stages of a relationship in Korea.
