hey if your an ABC (america born chinese) would u date FOBs?

[hishari]

My bf moved to the States in 4th grade. Does that count?

[xxiaoMEI]

I`m a CBC.
canadian

[Juztine]

I'm ABC (australian born chinese) and I'm dating a 'guy who moved to australia 5 years ago. his his english is really good. so i don't really see him as "fob"

i would never date a "fob" with broken english, my canto is pretty bad as it is, and the miscommunication would completely frustrate me

lol,isn't there a pinned topic about how ethinicity-related topics will be an automatic ban?

BUT, to answer your question...
why no? i'm a CBC (canadian born-chinese), and i'm dating a fob.
i have lived in Canada my whole life, never lived in hk, my bf was born and lived in hk, he moved to canada for like three years... we have been tgt for a year or so. but that's becuz i can speak cantonese fluently (his english sucks, sigh).
so i guess yes, i would date a fob.

the question is: why wouldn't abcs date fobs? if the abc knew chinese, or if the fob knew english, then there would be no problems. duh?

(hm, i hope my answering to this topic won't earn me a ban or something o.o)

I dated a guy who came to the states from korea when he was in 8th grade.

[flyxme.]

yeah, of course
as long as we can communicate

[daisy]

no...i cant communicate with most of the fobs i know

[xstarBURST]

No.

Although I am dating one right now -___-' Main reason is I can't stand having to translate for my friends when we all hang out together. When i first went on a date with my current BF we spoke English through out the whole date, it wasn't until later his poor English irked me -__-'

Honestly, I can't stand talking to him in my native tongue in front of my parents.

[amythoj]

i dont know.....i mean....i guess as long as you can still communicate.....theres nothing wrong with it....but honestly....some FOBS are pretty good looking lately...ehehehehe ^___^ so i dont mind....

[mintcracker]

I've found it's quite hard. Cos of the whole different environments, the way you talk, think and express ideas differ, which cause misunderstandings and conflict sometimes =/

it also seems ppl that have grown up overseas tend to be more jokey and relaxed...so sometimes they don't realise you're not being serious o_o


=_=

[obs3ssive]

I'm pretty much a abc..even though I wasn't born here I moved here when I was 9 months ^.~
And no, I doubt that I would date a fob for several reasons.
Communication, unless he can speak English fluently. Most of all, we would be too different in the way we think, our style, cultural ways, and maybe he would want to or need to go back to his country often.

All of my ex-girlfriends are Japanese `fobs` (been here for two weeks to a year when I got with them), but my current girlfriend has been here for 7-8 years. What is she?

[xabstruse]

I used to have a major crush on this guy who's older than me by 3 years and he came when he was 16 from singapore (he's 18 now). but in singapore they still speak singlish (lol) so I'm not sure if this counts haha ^^ I actually find his accent appealing lol~

[CKalvin]

never ever. hate fob voices + extremely fobby clothing

[big332]

depends how fob

i'm chinese but my chinese is terrible so if she can't speak much english, i don't think it'd work
