You can also have a better relationship only if you contact Dr.EZIZA on ezizaspellhome@gmail.com<br />THE GOOD THING IS HE ALSO HELPED MY COUSIN BY VERDICATING HER FROM A COURT CASE WHICH SHE WAS WRONGLY ACCUSED AND COULD HAVE LANDED HER IN JAIL.<br />THE EMAIL AGAIN IS ezizaspellhome@gmail.comsherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03165903804115010609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-73016459147969600612014-12-16T19:23:38.834+09:002014-12-16T19:23:38.834+09:00It's not my very first time to visit this blog...It's not my very first time to visit this blog; I’m visiting this daily and acquire superb info from here day by day.<a href="http://www.unfinishedman.com/" rel="nofollow">luxury lifestyle</a>Sheamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05158555199153000678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-84734440562848907062012-11-16T13:37:14.646+09:002012-11-16T13:37:14.646+09:00I don't understand #4.

They also tend to forget that I'm not Korean-korean and expect me to act the same way ("How come you didn't reply to my good afternoon text?"). After almost 3 years in Korea, the texting, the morning wake-up calls, bag-holding...fine~~, but what will never fly with me is the constant "who are you with and where, why didnt you tell me you were leaving the house (really??), why are you staying out so late" badgering and freaking out when another guy happens to call my phone.

(I didn't know he was 18 until halfway through the date.) Except for the texting. I've grown to really, really like the texting thing to a certain extent. My guys so far have known that I'm irked by most Korean's reactions to my ridiculously-large-by-Korean-standards feet and know better than to comment upon it, thank fuck.Hot Yellow Fellowshttp://hotyellowfellows.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-62050409157632899102010-04-15T14:29:14.702+09:002010-04-15T14:29:14.702+09:00Even though I've just arrived, and haven't...Even though I've just arrived, and haven't dated any Koreans, I found this post to be very informative, and hilarious!

I don't even mind that it means there won't be any more sordid tells in your blog for (hopefully) quite a while. <br /><br />And I most certainly will.

If some guy *isn't* texting all the time, now I just assume he's not interested. It'll definitely be hard going back. <br /><br />Kosaru -- The "good morning!~~" texts kinda drive me crazy. Because there is literally no content to them. Good morning. Again. At the same time as yesterday. It's literally a non-text. <br /><br />t-hype -- Yeah. I feel kind of bad for them once they realize what they've really got their hands on. They could do with trying to cover their horror a bit better, at times -- I will say that. <br /><br />Kel -- You know I have huge double standards, anyway. Anything cutesy and coupley is totally offlines for heteros, but when homos do the same things, it's the best thing in the world. Don't ask me why. <br /><br />Diana -- Believe you me. If I find a guy who can put up with me eventually, I definitely won't be making any qualms about what country and/or culture he hails from.

I never dated anyone while in Korea, seeing as I'm engaged, but I certainly had my share of run-ins with guys, and trying to become just friends with them. Which is a little more difficult to navigate, and maybe just impossible. But anyway, I was in hysterics about the texting bit particularly-- how do you respond to "good morning!!" every single day? How do you actually connect with someone, even though you're in contact constantly throughout the day, if it's just that kind of mixed-signal mess? I was so baffled by that at first.

I have to get used to it."<br /><br />(Though I think the texting constantly is adorable. Unless I'm not into the guy, in which case it makes me want to flush my phone down the toilet.)<br /><br />I especially hate the teasing, because if it's someone I care about then I don't ever tease them. So I feel super pissed if they're always trying to tease me. My ex used to try to tease me by mimicking me all the time.
