On Dating in Korea

3/17/2014 The Romantic 0 Comments

Quite different from most foreigners in Korea, I actually don't have many non-Korean acquaintances. So if ever I have questions about American culture in Korea, I find myself texting the teacher who used to be employed at my school, but who now lives in a city almost two hours away. She's quite feisty and cosmopolitan. Here is the dating advice she gave me yesterday based on the experiences that her friends have had dating Korean men,

"The only difference I've heard remarked on a lot is them taking things really slowly [physically] and kinda quickly commitment wise.... Just don't be shocked if it takes several dates even for a kiss!"


Sounds an awful lot like Provo dating to me. I can do that.

We are The Anti-Austens, a collective of feisty, young Latter-Day Saints endowed with old-fashioned sensibilities (acquired through our Mormon upbringing and extensive reading of Jane Austen novels) trudging our way through the modern dating scene. Our blog was first created in 2010 and based in the Latter-Day Saint epicenter of marriage: Brigham Young University. Since its creation, the blog has seen many writers come and go, but those of us who remain continue vigilant in our quest for a gentleman happily blessed with our ideal qualities. For a few of us, that quest has led us away from our original hunting ground (BYU) on to hopefully greener--and considerably less overwhelmed--pastures.
