cheers from wherever i am this week 😅 i’ve dated across cultures—japanese, filipina, and once a singaporean woman—and the pattern isn’t “what to know about dating an asian girl,” it’s “what to know about dating someone whose norms differ from yours.” learn her language rhythm, not just her words. also, food = diplomacy. if you can eat with her family and handle spice, you’ve already earned trust points. wanderlust is real, but so is listening.
23Hola from Cape Town—my opener that keeps working is a micro-travel swap. If they’ve got a food photo, I’ll say, “That looks like yakitori—if I were visiting your city for 24 hours, where are we eating first?” It lets them be the local expert and I get a feel for taste and pace. I follow with a voice note only after they reply, because tone does a lot of heavy lifting that text can’t. Dating apps are noisy; a gentle, specific question cuts through.
