I'm a 24 year old grad student with an interesting girl problem. I was at this psyche conference in Tianjin China and I met this great girl there who I've apparently been attending the same university with for years. She's definitely into me and I'm definitely into her, and for about the last fifteen weeks we've gotten really close. Closer than most friendly frienships between a man and a woman get anyway. We do everything together and it's just one of those relationships where all you have to do is talk with the other person for hours in your car and you can still have fun. Well, this week I let her know I really like her and I'd like to pursue a relationship. This actually went down really well she said she really liked me too, but she's been avoiding a relationship with me because she was raised to pursue a proper Chinese man so they can have a proper Chinese family. I'm definitely not Chinese, and I would say I'm not exactly the most proper of men. She did however say if she wasn't married by the time we are 30 she'd marry me. Yeah, different, I know. I think if I was gonna marry anyone though, she'd be a good candidate. Well, we're still close friends and we have plans to do a bunch of things together this summer (which includes meeting her parents)and when we finish our masters work in a year she says she's going to take me back to China. She introduced me to a single friend of hers this week, but I just don't know how I feel abou that. I really respect her ability to sacrafice a relationship I know she'd be happy in to appease her parents, it's that strength she has that I really like about her. I guess I'm just looking for some advice about how I should feel or what I should do. I'd be really interested in answers from Chinese women since I think this is a cultural thing. I'm open for anything though. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this one. ThanksNeed some advice about a girl.?
I'm not Chinese, but I think this relationship is going to be sort of awkward from now on. I would try to move on and find someone else, since she's basically saying you're her back-up for now.
