I am a single 24 year old American guy who has been living in South Korea for a little more than 8 months now. I am living here as an English teacher, and back in August I started doing an English/Korean language exchange with this Korean girl who is the same age as me. We had an immediate connection and I know she felt it too. It had the feel of a date almost. For the last couple of months we have been meeting once or twice per week for maybe 2 or 3 hours per meeting. Each meeting is kind of like a mix between a date and a language exchange. Over the past couple of weeks we started hanging out and doing non-language exchange acitivties, such as playing badminton, sightseeing, going out for dinner, etc…

When I first met her she had a boyfriend but after a couple weeks she broke up with him because he cheated on her. However, it SEEMS as though he has weasled his way back into her life and they have been hanging out quite a bit. This worries me and it feels like I need to make a move on her soon or I might lose her to this crummy EX of hers. How should I go about doing this? Should I ask her about her situation with that guy or just move in for the kiss on one of our “dates”? Being that she is Korean I am not sure if there is different protocol for this kind of thing? We text constantly every day and we are planning to go away on a daytrip next weekend, should I do something then?

You definitely need to step up your game so that she understands you want a romantic relationship with her. Affection, like holding hands, touching her, kissing her — coupled with traditional dates with all the parameters that let both people know they’re on a date, is going to help, too. For instance, tell her you’d like to take her out for a date. Pick her up, bring her flowers, hold the door and chair for her, make the reservation at the restaurant, pay the bill, take her home, kiss her goodnight — that’s going to send a clear message to both of you that this relationship has advanced to dating! 😉
