I’m a foreigner in Taiwan, age 20, here for a 4 year degree in College. I’m from the U.S., but ethnically I’m Sicilian so I have dark brown hair, brown eyes, 6ft tall. I’ve been here for 2 years yet I’ve never actually dated a Taiwanese girl. I’ve dated other foreign girls that were older than me. This year I’ve been trying really hard in meeting Taiwanese girls and I noticed that a lot of girls seem interested in me as a person (ie, my life and country), but not interested romantically.
I met this one girl at the track at my school and found we both enjoy running. I got her number and info, then later that night on facebook I found gossip on her wall about meeting some handsome foreigner and being very excited. I messaged her and we immediately arranged to jog together. Later the next week we went jogging with each-other on two separate occasions. After the second jog I asked her to get a drink (non alcoholic) with me at a juice place. I forgot to bring money so she paid. We stayed for only an half an hour then she said she had to finish reports and study. I told her I wanted to take her out the next day for sushi to make up for the drinks, but then came the long hesitation and she replied “lets talk later about it”. We walked back to the dorms and before we separated she said that we should go jogging again, but made no mention of the dinner I invited her to.
I later messaged her for her answer on the dinner. She made no reply, so then I contacted some friends to go eat dinner with me tomorrow. I messaged her again, saying that I was going out with friends tomorrow and that she should come. She replied that she was going to eat with a friend and isn’t going with me.
I feel like I’m being used as her English practice partner. I met three other Taiwanese girls that all gave me the same reply when I asked them out: “sorry, I’m busy that day. Maybe some other days.”
Do Taiwanese College girls take a while of knowing them for them to go on a date?
Do Taiwanese girls, who have never had a boyfriend, want to date other Taiwanese guys before they ever consider a foreigner?
Well, are you White or some other type of foreigner?
If you are not White and not Black, are you tall?
Are you in shape?
Do you have good hygiene?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, without answering no to any of the questions prior to the question that you answered yes to, you should be able to snag a Taiwanese girl easily, and there is a glitch in the system.
I think there is something different about college girls.
I once approached a girl that ended up being 28 years old (too old for me), and as soon as I texted her she was trying to arrange a beach day and had her friend send me a bunch of bikini photos of her. She ended up not being in college and worked at a bank nearby.
I have not once got a response like this from anyone under 21 in college. I’ve even been changing my standards and am only now going after 5s instead of 7s
There seems to be something different about girls 18-21 in college that makes them immune to foreigners
why? you don’t seem to be getting anywhere with the young ones. just have a laugh with an older women who knows what she is doing (and who seems to be making it easy for u) you can learn a few things from it. cus right now you seem a little inexperienced. asians age well too…
Yeah man. Taiwanese women are still gorgeous in their 50s, unlike American women that are gross in their 20s. For real for real, if I were not Black I’d be making Taiwan my home.
Frankly, it sounds like your classmates aren’t the only ones who are inexperienced.
I’m going to have to write this in big letters because it’s important (even though three other people have already said the same thing):
WTF were you thinking, man?!
Just go to the beach with the bank girl! Enjoy it as long as it lasts. When I was in my teens and early 20s I had three gfs in their late 20s and 30s. They were all wonderful people: smart, mature, full of joie-de-vivre, and dirty as hell. IMO, every young man needs an older woman to take him in hand (as it were) and show him how the world works.
I feel like the age gap is way too big. 8 years… if it was 4 I think that would be the max. Anyways this was 2 weeks ago. It would be too awkward to contact her after this long.
Actually why am I on this subject.
I was originally asking if college girls take a lot more courting and time to get them out on a date.
If anyone had something share about their experience with a 18-21 year old in college that would be great.
and this is why you haven’t had a date for 2 years as a foriegner in taiwan.. which is a madness in itself. over picky, over thinking, and scorning the opportunity’s that come to you instead of grasping them.. yup, you pretty much deserve what you have gotten and no more free advice from me shall you get you are on your own kid.
Think of it in terms of maturity level, not physical age. Young Taiwanese women tend to be less mature than their Western counterparts of the same age. They often carry around Hello Kitty paraphernalia and live with their parents until well into their 30s.
When I met my wife (Taiwanese) back in the UK, she was 24 and I was 22. She seemed mature and independent. After 2 years we moved to Taipei and ended up living with the in-laws. The opinions I had formed of her over those two years were kind of shattered when I found out how she was with her parents (mainly her mam). My wife (GF back then) was treated like a 16 year old (not a 26 year old), which she accepted, and in-turn behaved more childish around her family. We eventually got over those issues and so on, but my point is that the girls you’re talking about might not be interested or more likely - aren’t allowed to have serious relationships, yet.
If you’re 20, there’s nothing wrong with a 28 year old. If you go into every relationship thinking about 20 years down the line, then you’ll never enjoy the present. Yes… the past is the past, because it has already passed… and the future is… later on. The present is called the present because it truly is a gift
Funny how everyone is so quick to talk about dating the older bikini girl without even showing us the pic. We’ll need to see the pic in order to make a fair judgement
Was just about to mention this.
