eh. It's complicated. I guess you could say we're a couple, because she comes back every few months for school, and last time she was here she seemed serious about having a relationship and either she move here to the west or more likely I move to japan when we're both done with school, but I don't really like long distance relationships and while she's great in many ways I still haven't adjusted to dating someone non-western. She's great, I like 95% of things about her, but I wouldn't say I'm in love. I have an ex girlfriend who I have much stronger feelings for, but that relationship is so fucked I don't think it's possible to reconcile. So I met this current girl, things are going reasonably well, I'd probably be happy if we ended up together, but I wouldn't say she's the girl of my dreams.
When you're from the west and you start dating someone who is not, certain aspects of relationships and culture definitely reveal themselves. These threads are often retarded as they have some weird fetish fantasy behind them but let's be real, that's not the reality of most relationships. Most wmaf relationships are just normal. I don't froth at the mouth that the girl I've been with is japanese. She's simply a nice girl with a lot of things I like about her. I like japanese culture so we connect easily, and generally I find asian women the most attractive by chance so naturally I think she's hot, but I'm not some creep like a lot of people in these threads. My ex is half asian but what I love about her has nothing to do with her race. Anyways that's my .02$ as someone with boots on the ground I guess.
To sum up, we are a couple and we are not. I'm getting what I want from our relationship, but if something happened and we parted ways, I wouldn't cry myself to sleep. She seems mature enough to feel the same, since we've had talks about us. If she told me she only wants to date and nothing more, we probably wouldn't be talking.
