I never understood these blanket statements and generalizations. I have had very different experiences in this regards, from the very conservative girls to the very direct and natural. I guess you have to dial in a bit, or find someone in the same brainwave than you.
Also on average women aren’t as sexual and direct as men. You knew that, right?
I was mostly joking of course. people regardless of gender are different, and looks can deceive. Big time.
I guess in Taiwan there is strong pressure from society on women to act like “good girl” pure types. So this thing @tommy525 mentioned might be found more often, like “wanting not to be seen as a bad girl”
That’s why I said “on average”. I started my post with “I don’t understand these blanket statements”.
IDK, I found many girls here who would think of sex in a more natural way, without showing any guilt thoughts or anything like that. But OTOH I have met (or talked to) many others who said “I’m not that type of girl”. What type, you idiot? the one who doesn’t pretend not to want something she does? Meh…
Taiwan girls play hard to get most of times unless ofcourse you are already their type . If you are then they will throw themselves onto you and u can see it clearly. If you arent then you can see it too that she is bored as heck. The idea of “lets get to know the other person” isnt that prevailant here but all girls would use this line before going on date. In truth they just wanna pick the “ideal man” , the image they already have in their mind.
Preselection works
One summer day young 30 Tommy facing a weekend alone got a call from a young lady he had previously gone on a platonic date with to meet up in an hour to go to the beach
Accepted the invite but then the next girl called who
Tommy had met prior once as well but definitely more sexual dancing around
tomster calls back the first girl and cancels the date
I found this, in public shy, in private not shy (if she likes). A lot of times its also not let parents know and but friends are ok (I had the girl’s friends cover for her saying she there overnight or other oddball things)
Some good information here about the Taiwanese courtship process, which I’m sure also applies to Chinese women. Although I was already rejected to move beyond “hanging out” with this girl, it wasn’t an overt rejection (“Not really looking for a boyfriend!”, “So happy to finally have a British friend!”, etc.) and we agreed to meet up again this coming Saturday for me to continue helping with her essay. She said she’s busy in the evening, which could suggest she’s sending me a message that she doesn’t want me to take her on a date, but she could just as easily be telling the truth. So, based on what I’ve read on this thread, I’m going to make a push to do something more date-ish next time. Although I agree with the advice some here gave about physical contact (sitting close, brushing her hand, putting my hand on her shoulder when I get up to use the bathroom, etc.), I don’t think an afternoon library session is the right environment so I’ll leave that out!
