I started learning chinese… met a Taiwanese girl became friends now its getting kind of serious… Shes almost 19 (im 22) but she acts immature at times like a kid… kind of sweet with all the knicknames but sometimes her mannerisms freaks me out (not majorly tho’).
Is this immaturity normal? I feel like we know each other well and shes soo into me its scary at times… I just dont want to lead her down the wrong path… Im looking for love but if it doesnt workout between us I fear her immaturity will let her down in coping with the situation (no that im anything special) but you know… im not out to hurt anyone ive got her best interests at heart.
In a nuttshell: shes childish… but there are glimpses of maturity which make me think its all just a front… and she wants to get really serious reaally fast without considering the long term.
This is normal right. Are TW girls worth it or are they just out to bag a westerner?
True, but it’s also a well-known fact that Taiwanese act 15 years younger than their actual age, so a 30 year-old is roughly comparable to a 15 year-old, and a 19 year-old, yikes. . . . . . WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??? :no-no:

Yes, she’s only 18: immaturity is most certainly normal in any culture for an 18-year-old.
Then consider the fact that she’s from Taiwan, where it’s normal for unmarried 35-year-old women to still live with their parents, sleep with stuffed animals, and love Hello Kitty…
My current girlfriend’s 20 and she’s no more or less mature than my 34 and 31 year old ex-girlfriends. I think some of them get stuck at about 18 - 21.
She’s 18 for Christ’s sake!!!She’s still transitioning mentality form a child to a women. I know you’re young too, but get someone just a tad older and maybe just a tad more woman-like.
Enjoy the relationship until she starts to nag you daily about things that are out of your control but for which you will be blamed. This means she wants a commitment (ring) from you.
Does her family own a duck farm, by chance?[/quote]Man, did you make my day! That old thread is classic.
To the OP. I’m soon to marry a Taiwanese woman who was 24 when we met. Still, based on the information in your post I would have to agree on the advice telling you to RUN! You do realize that you would be living with her parents? My GF moved away from Taiwan for me and I’m the one asking her to marry me after living together for three years.
as they said, she’s still too young so that may be the reason for her acting a bit immature. that may still change thru time.
but at any circumstances i wouldn’t get commited yet! and wouldn’t move for her, that’s just way too soon. you might do a big mistake. you’re still young, so are supposed to date many people and gather experiences before you find the right one and commit.
Enjoy your friendship and see where it leads if you want excitement and adventure, but beware of being sucked in (if you will pardon the expression) to a whole raft of things that you ultimately might not be too keen on. Just my 2cts.
