Just because she's asian doesn't mean she's a ninja.

But thanks for the vote of confidence all the same, DINMS.

Fear not a "relationship", everyone's personal relationships are different, so specific advice on what to do or not do is entirely worthless. Just know yourself, get to know her, and go from there. BTW, you gonna show us around Crystal on Sunday?

So does she ski or does she want to try it?

I was wondering the same thing.

**ulty_guy** · 12-11-2003, 09:24 AM

i'm guessing it refers to vietnamese refugees after the war there would head out into the south china sea in boats to be picked up by u.s. destroyers and granted asylum in the u.s. one of my best friends got to the u.s. in that fashion.

Between Dipstik, Britney and Divegirl's avitars, I didn't catch a word in this thread. What's going on? Still a virgin, Sammich?

**bad_roo** · 12-11-2003, 09:45 AM

We had a whole bunch of these 'boaters' housed in a local army camp. Used to be my Numero Uno source of pirated Commodore 64 games when I were a lad...

I think that 'boater' probably is refering to anyone of asian descent that is first generation in the US/Canada/Where ever. Up here THEY refer to themselves (they do...not us) as FOB's (fresh off the boat). I don't think you actually have to arrive via boat to earn this distinction.

Thread hijack? Yes. Racist intent? Nope. (just wanted to clear that up)

**subtle plague** · 12-11-2003, 10:40 AM

if you love her (you're only 18 dude no time to plan any wedding.....

), teach her to rip and stay with her.
if you don't, well just do the "only prince would sing about" stuff.

since this is coming from a fool in love i have to say number one is really nice.

**Oarhead** · 12-11-2003, 12:28 PM

Don't overanalyze (I know I know, easier said than done) and go have fun with it dude. Nobody can see the future - except for the magic 8 ball - so don't try and figure out what 'might' happen (unless the magic 8 ball tells you).
Pretty soon you can change your handle to Manwich.

I second that!!

**HyRUPz** · 12-11-2003, 12:43 PM

They all say that in the beginning . . .

After a few months, she will want to be the priority. CAUTION pow-maggot!

Ask KS . . .

Main question = Are you happy?

Yup Canuk basically got it. The first generation of ANY decent is fresh off the boat(Even though they probally didn't come over on a boat). Hence Boaters. It's not the best term for it but in no way is racist.

Sammy the reason I asked was because if her parents recently came over here was if traditions were still kicking. You probally know that in Asian culture the guys are heavily favored. Some familys more then others. That might be some of her problems.

Just beware once you go asian you'll never go back.

I've had my eye on this one girl for a long time, but she had issues, so she couldn't (wouldn't) date anyone, or even just hook up with anyone. Today, i talked to her for a while, and now we're going out. The best part is, I asked her if she wanted to do something this weekend, and she said that it depends on when i'm skiing, because she doesn't want to get in the way of that. She told me that she understands how important skiing is and that it's cool with her if she's second priority.

She's awesome.

Well i know a girl like that but she now hates me

but that means I don't have to buy her lift tickets

**snowsprite** · 12-11-2003, 03:10 PM

You were buying her lift tickets? Dude, that's an expensive date.

As the grandson of 4 Croatian immigrants (when came here before Charles had even skirted across the pond) I can confirm that FOB and boaters apply to all immigrants...except those damn wetbacks.

Heh. Funny you should ask. I had 2 prospects I was working on. The one that I am currently going out with was a hidden 3rd prospect that is much better than the other two. Anyway, now that I'm going out with Hidden Prospect #3, Prospects # 1 and 2 are all over my nuts. God damn girls... always want what they can't have.

Oh well... I'm really happy, and they'll have to deal with it.

And to everyone giving me advice: thanks, but I got this one. I actually know how to handle myself around this girl, and i know her really well, so i can pick up on those subtle social cues that i would otherwise be oblivious to.

Sublime: yeah, she's first generation Korean. Her mom is Japanese and her dad is white (she's adopted).
