I went out with a Taiwanese girl tonight that I had met through a cold approach. The date itself was good and fun. I took her to a restaraunt and I would tease her about things, touch her arms, shoulders, and hands, and talk about our backgrounds, etc... She was interested in me and talked about meeting again Then when we got outside to my car, I decided to go in and kiss her on the cheek. And this started the awkwardness. She said we needed to be good friends first before we went further. I told her we didn't need to be in a relationship to become involved with each other. I said I didn't take you out just to be good friends either. And of course, if I'm taking you on a date, I might have some interest in you. All of this seemed foreign to her, one because of her culture, and two because her English isn't great. She probably isn't used to guys trying to become involved from the start. She said she would consider my offer of dating but no relationship, but honestly, I'm not betting on it. She said she was worried about her friends thinking she is easy for dating an American man. I told her "Do what the f*ck you want. Don't do things because of friends or peer pressure. Be an individual. Think for yourself." She said she would pay for my meal the next time we go out, and that doesn't bother me. But I'm not wasting my time on being someone's beta male best friend. So, if she says she doesn't want to consider my offer, I'll find someone else. Has anything like this ever happened to you, and what would your advice be?
