Proposing To My Chinese Girlfriend by well13(m): 1:35pm On Dec 07, 2017 |
I need help! I want to propose to my Chinese girlfriend and her family is quite strict. I learned that there’s a certain tradition when it comes to marriage in Chinese culture… I’m quite overwhelmed but I really want everything to go smoothly. I met Chen through A Foreign Affair’s singles tour in Shenzhen, China. We’ve been in a long distance relationship for a year, of course it involved a ton of visits. She visited me and met my parents. I’m glad everyone in my family likes her. When I met her parents it was really awkward. Because her parents can’t really speak English, I like to believe they like me even a little at least. I’ve been talking with my friends about proposing and one said there’s a certain way in China. I got curious and started searching. There were things like dowries, which got me bewildered. I know that my girlfriend’s parents are to an extent, strict… but I don’t know if they are still traditional or still follows such practice. If I asked Chen that would destroy the idea of a surprise proposal… but is it better if I just propose to her and then ask her how I should ask her parents for her hand in marriage? I honestly don’t know what’s the right route to go for. I need some good advice! |

ChewingStick: ![]() We don't have dowry or bride price in my country...mostly, the wedding expenses are divided by the couple & their families..so, mostly it's 50-50 ![]() If u wanna marry a Filipina, just bring ur azz and face her family..Ask them u wanna marry their daughter & after that u both decide what kind of wedding u want. We don't have traditional wedding either... ![]() 1 Like |
