Top 10 Ways to Spot an Asiaphile

By Rebecca Wong

It's a dangerous dating world out there. It's hard enough for a girl to figure out if a guy is dating you just to sleep with you. But, it gets even trickier to tell if he's dating you just because you're Asian. Check out these 10 warning signs to see if he's truly sincere or a total Sinophile.

1. He greets you in Japanese, or some other Asian language.
2. Then, he asks if he can practice his Mandarin on you.
3. He admires your long black hair, silken skin, and petite figure.
4. He muses, "White women are so demanding and aggressive; I love how Asian women are so easy-going and polite."
5. He references all the other Asian girlfriends he had before you.
6. He likes to talk about his summer in Bangkok teaching English.
7. Despite his own anti-Brad-Pitt looks, he confidently gazes into your eyes as if he's the best thing that has ever happened to a little Asian woman like you.
8. He owns a complete collection of Zhang Zi-Yi movies.
9. He quotes Confucius or the Dalai Lama.
10. He asks, "What’s your sign?... No, not Gemini. I mean, Dragon or Tiger."

Sounds like someone you know? Then beware. Chances are, he's an Asiaphile.
