dating (again) in Korea, living far away and Korean weddings - let's talk about it

[@kenneseyl2819]

i feel that so much when parents have list of expectations, good education, good job, career, don’t party, be responsible. but it’s still never enough😂😂 but at least it shows your family cares for you, 😂🥰✨👍

[@LiveOutLoudKorea]

Absolutely!!

[@BlueCandy504]

Bibi you can JUST DATE more than one person; that gives u time to learn them both regardless of who u like the most because that could change; TIME, always reveals the truth about people. It's like how you find out more truth about someone when you live with them; TIME always tells. So take it slow and observe and actively listen.

💯 best believe I’m gonna take that advice everytime !

[@Toulip45]

No it’s so true I really don’t know how to do talking to multiple people thing ,it just doesn’t sit right with me I rather just speak to that one person see how it goes ,otherwise I feel like i wouldn’t be able to show my authentic self to each person I would start replying with ways to make the convo interesting rather than actually actually seeing if this person is really for me …I don’t know if that makes sense but I feel you can get lost in it and end up with someone you actually don’t match that well with in the end because you weren’t checking in the beginning

Hi guys! I'm an african long time subscriber and I never really comment online, but here I am. Leslie congrats on your wedding preparations & Bibi congrats on your new relation & I'm happy your dad has let you take your time to decide for yourself in regards to work & so on. I have a similar situation as you and I really need you and Leslie's advice please. So here's what's up with me; I did my undergrad degree in another country. After graduating in 2022, I was waiting for my certificate and decided not to waste time doing nothing & I also wanted to start saving up for a master's degree cos my dad had made it clear he can't support me through that. So I got a job as an English teacher at a prestigious international school. I also busied myself with part-time private tuitions. And I told my dad about my plans, which he accepted. But shortly after I got my undergrad CERTIFICATE he started to me pressure to return home. And to be honest there aren't available job opportunities back home and I really wanted to just go for my masters in a different country from where I did my undergrad and try to find a job there. We had a heated call once where he was asking me to return & get married and then my husband will decide what my further studies & career plans will be. FYI (my dad is controlling). So I got really upset, cause I will not be pressured into settling down because that's what my parents want. And my parents know I'm not the type to live promiscuously. Unfortunately, A month or so after this heated convo, I suddenly had to return home as a war broke out in the country I was. Even after returning home and its been a whole year since. I've just been sitting idly @ home doing nothing & trying to go with d plans my parents have for me in regards to work or just settling down. But I just can't bring myself to accept any of it. My home country doesn't specialise in d field I want, there are no jobs, the pays are terrible even for those with 20+ years of experience. There's delay in everything & it would take me about 3 years to reintegrate into d system & eventually be able to work. I want to go ahead with my plans of going for my masters in another country to specialise in the field of work that I want. But no one in my family would support me. Even my older sisters kept telling me as soon as I returned that I had no business leaving the country again, not even for further studies. As neither of them ever got d opportunity to travel abroad for school or anything else, so I should be content that I did. I've been secretly trying to do some online courses to brush up my Resume in preparation 4 applying for the Msc course. But I may not be able to hide my plans anymore as I will have to travel to do capital city to take say; the GRE or IELTS exams. Hence I have to let my parents know. My mum isn't that much of a problem to convince but my dad & sisters are in fact my biggest obstacle @ the moment. I want to go have a one on one conversation with my dad but I'm dreading it. I'm so terrified of his angry outbursts & what the outcome of telling him might be. But I've made up my mind that one way or the other, I'm leaving to pursue my dreams. But I just can't seem to work up the courage to talk to him. Bibi, Leslie please advice your sister here 🙏what do I do? Oh and I had so many delays with my degree due to covid & d political instability of the country I graduated from, so I graduated late. And I'm turning 29 this year. So I don't have time to waste.

[@LiveOutLoudKorea]

So sorry to hear this is happening :( I can understand the frustration! Parents definitely worry a lot about us but I think once we become adults we should be able to tell them our truth. I hope you’re able to do so !!! 💕💕

[@huballah2909]

​​@@LiveOutLoudKoreathanks for your encouraging words❤. I hope so too.

[@katherinejimenezmatos2009]
