Korean men don’t usually pursue foreign girls. For the most part they follow the typical role of wanting to be dominant one, the chaser who will pay for dinner, call you often and even hold your purse (in public!). I know a lot of women may be thinking that Seoul is where their beau is waiting, but with that traditional romance come the traditional setbacks.

Some foreign men use and toss out Asian women when they visit or live in Asia. An Taiwanese woman speaks bluntly about this common practice.

An expat took a little detour to get to work and stopped for a fruit smoothie and what he got was overseas romance.

What are your comments about having a relationship with someone from another country?

She had been in Seoul for eight months now and was missing her sweetheart. We were celebrating a makeshift Valentine’s Day with rented movies and a bottle of wine. We had stepped outside so she could smoke and got lost star-gazing from the top of her building.
