As an American living in Korea, her perspective on life in the country is invaluable for foreigners interested in taking the leap of faith. In fact, she’s shared everything from what it’s like being a foreigner in Korea, the awkward situations she’s encountered there, as well as nifty life-hacks! Without further ado, here are some of the dating habits she picked up while living in Korea…

1. Constant communication
