Awestruck By A Beautiful Asian Girl
Sometimes, the world just throws you for a loop. You're walking down the street like everything is normal and then, all of the sudden, you're standing in front of the most beautiful Asian girl you've ever seen with your jaw hitting the floor as you wonder why you haven't been spending more of your time on Asian dating sites, trying to make this moment happen sooner.
The problem with having your jaw on the floor is that it's hard to make a good impression when you can't tell the difference between your foot and your tongue because both are tangled up inside your mouth. Sometimes I think the universe is governed purely by irony. You spent half your life wishing to meet the perfect beautiful Asian girl and then, when you do, it all goes horribly wrong.
No, the art of seduction does not benefit from surprises. It's good, perhaps, when you can be surprising, catch someone off guard and delight them. Yes, we all want our romantic lives to feel like they're full of that spontaneous magic that is so exciting, but let's face it, when you're having a gal over for the first time you spend hours prepping your home for her. You want everything to be perfect and comfortable and you want it to give the best possible impression of your lifestyle.
We all like to think that when we meet our dream gal or guy we'll know what to say to them to get their attention, make them laugh, smile and like us, but if you'd don't have a few moments to collect yourself the odds are that you'll spend most of your time parlayed and staring while your image of perfection walks out the door.
So this is my theory: We all want things to be impromptu and magical, but I think magic takes a little preparation and slight of hand. It's like a Hemmingway story: It just looks simple. It's simple to read, but it was hard to write. The great thing about dating online is that it gives you a chance to keep yourself together while you're meeting your match.

I must admit, I have always been attracted to Asian women--and I'm now engaged to a Korean-American woman, and she's incredible. Beautiful, kind, a great person all around. Beautiful inside and out. Knowing what to say was never the problem--having the guts to fall on your face was what got me to where I am at. As long as you're yourself, things will work out.
