Unless they correct your English. Can you rewrite that please?. Just for us western men on this forum?

Western men are so lovely, aren't they? Are most western men like that?

 

Answer: Yes we are. We know how to treat a lady - romantic fools that we are!!

C'mon, if you understand the message stop bothering people.

of course some western men are not very patient when it comes to minor language mistakes, isn't they?

Sorry about that, but in this case they isn't. Chinese friends are always asking for English lessons so I thought..................ah well.

Is there a fine line between "bothering" and "help"? I must have crossed it!

Scandinavian:

yeah, the thing about crossing lines is that most of these lines are difficult to spot. 

 

I think the difference between helping and being rude is if people have asked for help or not. Imagine yourself on the street tying your shoelaces and someone walks up to to and start to explain how to do this. Helpful or offensive? 

 

But then again, who am I to give unsolicited advice about this, I myself would correct people :)

It's just that this is an informal forum so people should talk freely and relaxed, if we always point the grammar mistakes is difficult to speak like this ;)!!!

I was worried because I thought that maybe you could see my comment as offensive so I'm glad that you understood  wink.

PD:I'm not native English and I'm sure that I make a lot of mistakes when I write, but I don't wanna be worried each time I write something here ;)!!!

Australian men are. Can't say much for the rest of them, though

Scandinavian:

Australians are descendants of British criminals who were shipped far far away, the British genepool was highly influenced by the Vikings pillaging and raping long ago. So basically Australians are Scandinavians... somewhere through the generations the Aussies did loose the skills to brew proper beer though.

  I can honestly say that I don't find them any different to men anywhere else. But then i've never been romantically involved with either a Chinese 'or' a western man.

  Hmmmm.

  Nope.....if it ain't happened by now, I guess it ain't gonna.

Love can do amazing and crazy things to a person. The nice Western men are very gentle when they're in love. The bad Western men...? Well, who wants them anyway.

@Victoria1987

Thanks for asking my advice, here you go:

 

Living at a hostel is a terrible idea. It is temporary accommodation, you won't find a guy there who isn't just passing through, maybe that's why it seems guys are running away.

 

I don't think Shanghai is a good place to find a nice guy. There might be more western guys there but there is also more competition for those guys.

 

My main piece of advice is to relax, don't obsess about finding western guys. You have your own life, think about making it something that someone would actually want to share with you.

 

Go make some friends, do things that you enjoy and get involved with good people. Don't change your life for anyone else.

 

There is a Chinese saying, "The more you expect, the more disappointed you get,"

 

Good luck.

GuilinRaf:

I suspect that she may be trying too hard. Both men and women  sense this desperation to find a mate and are either repelled by it OR take advantage of it for short term fun.

At the same time seems like she is being rather picky. Those that have approached her have been rejected.

Anway, relax, start as friends and gradually, as you discover shared interests you can upgrade to bf./gf status.

OR, you could date Jatin. He is foreign, single available AND in shanghai!

Yes,I agree with you ,Guilin.

everyone knows it's pretty hard to find the right one,it takes lots of time ,so,you have to be very patient,otherwise,you would not find her or him If you being hurry or trying too hard.Should take it easy and He or she will probably come to you very soon.
