I'm 23, she's 24 or 25 or 26 I think (they calculate their age differently for some reason)
I've been in Vietnam for two weeks and will be here for another 11 months to be an English teacher.
I know the basics of the culture already, body language, etiquette, etc.
Wasn't looking for a girl to date, I'm not one of those Americans who goes to other countries to get girls, but she was very persistent at asking me out after she was my student in my teacher training course.
She drives a motorbike, I don't, so she's going to pick me up, which is already a little weird, and we planned for dinner.
Could be a bit of a language barrier, she's decent at English but just doesn't know a lot of words, and I only know the basics of speaking Vietnamese.
I'd prefer a relationship to an American-style hook-up, but I have no idea what she's looking for, and so far I know very little about her, so just wanted to hear from some other people who maybe have been in a similar situation, what is a typical first date like? Do I kiss her at the end? If she's forward enough to ask me out, might she be expecting more? Or, do I meet her parents?
The whole thing is kinda confusing, but she is pretty cute so I'm willing to give it a shot. =)
Thanks for the advice!
