Reed-
Typically posting on a forum is not something that I would normally do, but a few things you've written have struck a cord in me. I myself am engaged to a Korean girl, and many of the problems you're facing I have had to deal with.
First I'll give a quick rundown of myself: 6'2, 24 year old college grad, account executive for a small biotech company in CA, and learned all about women through the school of hard knocks.
I'm not sure about you, but my fiance is the first asian that I have ever dated. We've been together for almost three years, and during that time I have never been more happy to be with her, and I have never been (at times) more frustrated with her, and her culture.
Most people on this thread are telling you that you're being played, and that this girl is going to break your heart. She may break your heart, but she is not playing you.
The two main things that are giving you grief sound like 1. She lied to you about having been with other men, and 2. She won't introduce you to her mother.
About #1:
Of course she didn't tell you about the other men she's been with. Korean culture is much like American culture in the 18th century. Having been with another man before marrige is something that this girl would be disowned by her family for. And she is afraid to tell you because she sees herself as "dirty", or "unmarriable." My girl was with two boys before me, and there are only four people that know about that, her, me, and the other two. Sleeping around is not something that I think this girl would do, and the chances are that the two she was with are the only other people that know it. Understand that she regrets her past actions. I'm guessing that she never ever wants to talk about them again, right? Let sleeping dogs sleep, and realize that you're better than them, and their tiny ****s. Your girl is willing to cross her family, country, and especially her culture to be with you--is that something that you could do? I know that I wouldn't.
And #2
This girl is again being governed by the constraints of her culture. I, being a typical American, was extremely hurt and confused as to why I wasn't being introduced to my girls' family. What I didn't understand, and what I don't think you understand is that in Korean culture the Man dates the girl, gets engaged to the girl, and then meets the parents and tells them how he is going to provide a good life for their daughter. On the flip side a Korean girl will not introduce you to her parents unless she is absolutely positive that you are "the one." At first she wasn't going to, but then thought about it and decided that she did want you to meet her, only in a nonthreating atmosphere. She went the extra mile for you, not the other way around!
Reed, you are not being played. This girl is as good as gold. She is a typical good Korean. It sound like she is being very cautious with who she lets in--in this case you. From what you've written it sounds like she is head over heals for you (she's even had you meet her sister!), but isn't sure where your head is at. Your age will never be an issue if you're mature enough not to let it show. The problem that you have (And I have it too) is that you're playing to many mind games, and over analyzining your actions. I'm not advocating that you spill your blubbering guts to this girl, but you've been with her for 9 months. She just slept with you, and she is probably hoping that you're the "one", and not just a long term fling. But, if you keep playing with her head she's going to fly the coop. Be honest with her and call her to the carpet on what is confusing and bothering you. She is probably confused too. Either she will help you work your issues out, or you realize by her following actions that she is not worth being with. Remember, above all else Korean (and asians in general) girls are loyal, and will take a lot of crap from you. Hope this very long post helps.
