What's your love language Kiko? Sounds like French men are somehow like Brown Asian Guys (from South Asia) in the UK. They get excited and often wants to see you after the 1st date, but they can't speak their minds often.
Quality time and acts of service for me :) You may be right! Would love to know more about this!
@@kikohirakawa Thoughts on dating a brown asian guy based in UK?
Les hommes francais ne vont pas aimer que je serais americain. Pour des bons raisins. Les americains sont gentille
ça dépend ! Je crois que les arguments vont plus loin que nos labes dans la société. Si tut crois que les hommes français ne t'aiment pas parce que tu es américaine, cette énergie se transforme de toi intérieurement vers le monde extérieur. Il y a beaucoup d'hommes français qui apprécient et aiment les filles américaines et c'est aussi un fait, alors connecte-toi à cette énergie et ressente ça :) Il s'agit de la façon dont nous nous laissons choisir de la voir ! 🤍
Hi Kiko San, I asked a French man that I've been talking to, if I have any chance to be in a relationship with him or not. and he said, "If he has to answer right now no because he doesn't want me to waste my time. His mind is not on dating, he's focusing on working." (we work under the same company). so based on your experience with French man what do you think? Is he telling the truth that he just focusing on working or he just doesn't like me? Should I move on? I still consider the words "right now no" How about the future? I do like him a lot and I don't mind waiting but I also know my worth. Would appreciate it if I get a response from you.😊
Hello! First of all, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment on my channel and being open and honest about your experience with a French man. I'm sure it helps other people passing here :) If I could say something about this situation, I believe he is telling you the truth about where he stands with you and what he is looking for. That doesn't mean he doesn't like you or is not at all interested in you but one thing that is often in common about French men is that they do speak their minds and are rather honest in different forms. If I were you, I would believe his words, try to be as logical as possible, and not let emotions take over me. In dating, it is normal to care about what 'he' may be thinking, what 'he' is feeling, etc. But something very important to remember here is 'how do YOU feel around him?' Do you want to be around someone unsure about you? How would that make you feel now and long term? Remember, we are all worthy as you beautifully said and self-worth is at the core of our very selves. And let me just say - you deserve to be with someone excited to move forward together❤, not make you wait. I hope it is helpful for you!
Thanks so much Kiki San for your response. It helps me lots! ❤
Hmm. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s very insightful. Thank you.
You don't have to "know that you only want to date that person from day one", but you have to make a choice or at least prioritize after some time. You can still go out with other people during that time. But if you feel like going out with everyone but him/her in the early days of a relationship, it may be a clue that you don't care a lot about them. I don't see myself mentioning how many other girls I kissed last week while dating some other girl. I could lie or hide things to her, but this sounds like the worst way to start an honest relationship... Unless you don't expect it to be exclusive. The fact that your partner introduce you as his girlfriend is also a way to tell you how he sees you, you don't have to agree with him. You are still able to take your distance or have a private conversation later. Just like you would do with someone asking you to be his girlfriend. In French schools, some young teenagers ask eachothers if they want to "go on a date" or "be their girl/boyfriend" but it's usually very innocent and doesn't imply much. Do you also need to ask someone if they want to be your friend before thinking of them, or calling them, a friend?
u re dull😅
@@LILY_LO so what makes you comment on my video ?
What do you think of frenchmen thinks about LDR? Are they open to it?
kiko you are cutie
@@shinwaramin8582 Thank you ☺️
@@kikohirakawa 💙
Do they want to split the bill on dates?
We are both to split the bill and to pay for the first date (and next ones). It moslty depends what the women wants, how she agrees with this particularity. If a french, who has initiated a date, asks to split the bill that can also mean the date will go wrong
Thank u for ur info, can u help me pls, can i ask do french men willing to travel from there to other country to visit me, he is messaging me not everyday but he keeps om flirting, i don't know of he is serious or just playing around. 😅
I'm French and i'm looking for love abroad too so i can tell you that i will never travel if i'm not sure about the relationship. After weeks (mostly months), this topic should pop up naturally. In my opinion, each ldr lovers have to flight and spend time in each country.
If you ask me, I will say he is probably not serious at the moment if he hasn’t met you or spent lots of time with you yet. In French dating, it is a lot to do with spending time and really getting to know each other to see if you guys are compatible or not. Only time shows :) hope it was clear !
どうぞよろしく
よろしくね!♥️
He is not gonna ask me out? So how are we supposed to date in the first place?
Great question! Will make a video on this topic 👍🏼✨
Sometimes people are shy. Its not rude for a girl to ask a boy out in French culture. Try your luck
Hello Kiko, because it sounds you met your boyfriend in real life, how did you meet your boyfriend? 😊
Love it!!!!
I am a fan of you 🎉
Welcome to my channel ♥️♥️♥️
thank you for the amazing video, you are so cute !! :3
Hi, just a few words to congratulate you for your French. From the few words that you ushered, la can tell that your pronunciation is excellent. This is quite unusual. Regarding the so called "dating culture" in France, it matches what l experienced when I was younger. So it has not changed so much. I guess the "girlfriend" step in France, is to be considered as an exclusive dating. And yes "the kiss seals the deal". And the "je t'aime" step in very close to an shojo anime grade confession. It is indeed very emotional. You should not hesitate however to ask for clarifications. We are family oriented indeed. That is considered to be a marker of good sociability to have family bonds and we see it as a necessity in the hostile world as well as the fabric of our society. l was surprised that you find Frenchmen able to express their feelings. I believe that we are not so good at that. You probably stumbled upon a bf that have food emotional intelligence and are aware the with foreigners, better communication is necessary to make such a romantic relationship fly. You probably have a knack to attract such persons. Finally, the dating behavior is very class dependent in France and you may have very unpleasant macho experiences with less educated men (to my utter shame)
asian girls got white fever
I never said white - I said French :) This is not how I also choose to see the world. Connections go beyond labels.☺️
Kiko I love ur videos !! I hope you keep em coming, I always enjoy watching them 😊 and can you maybe make a similar video about dating Japanese men??
Thank you ☺️ a positive comment like this makes my day! I would love to do a video about Japanese men but I haven’t lived there for 10 years now and I don’t have as much experience with them so I am perhaps not the best person to talk about. BUT I am happy to one day bring one of my friends to talk all about it on my channel for you ☺️
@@kikohirakawa That'd be awesome! Thank you for your response 💗
Did you ever get intimate with a shorter guy? What was it about him that made his approach work (his face, his personality, his frame - and in what order?)
Hi! I have not. However, I did go on a date once or twice. It was the way they carried themselves, their CONFIDENCE that made me curious to discover them. Hope this answers your question ☺️
Loved this video 😊 Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s interesting ❤
Part.2 is coming today 😍🥰
Good for you! I had anorexia and i walked down the run way and they wanted to sign me but i was a skater at heart. Happy i chose skateboarding instead. Also, the model agencies would hang out in front of our eating disorder clinic looking for new girls, so disturbing!!
Nice video beautiful..subscribed
Oh dearest Kiko, I feel very sorry for you! I’ve been living in Germany for many years and I unfortunately had to experience similar things… very traumatic. I send you empathetic greetings and a lot of friendly, supportive hugs from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Fun facts : my bro and myself have 12cm difference.. Same parents ( we did check, yep, i swear ! ) but 13 years of difference.. so maybe something changed in the food, but anyway... The "problem" with the guys approaching tall girls is that sometimes it's just on 2 faces : being challenging oneself (as smaller guy) or by a huge arrogance, which is a sure way to never reach happiness in relationships. But nothing should stop true love if one day you meet someone interesting. Sadly, it might make some problems when in... privacy moments.. size matters when one of the two has to climb or be acrobatic to reach ..lets say.. the nirvana. About safety, i can understand you. I was beaten ALL my youth along.. until i started (well, precisely more after 3 years of ) practicing martial arts. Judo and Aikido.. not bad for a START, but to face real danger, i could really not suggest you better than joining a Bujinkan group. Krav maga, thaï boxing are far too violent and unable to adapt to low level of violence, where you still have to force someone letting you go off their grip, but without hitting them or pocking some eyes out.. that will lead you to jail. Sincerly, try it.. True involved Budo pratcitioners aren't bad people. they mostly seek for what Hatsumi Masaaki said : "i'm not teaching you how to fight, but how to control Evil" . You can find places on google, or i can make some research if you wish to.. but i'm not saying that for knowing your living area. Anyways, really wishing you all the best. The way you express yourself is very fresh an honest, so wishing you to find happiness in each area of your life. Have a nice day 🙂
I just found your channel and I really like this video. I’m glad you made it .🌸👍🌷.
Amazing video!! Would love a part 2 🙌
Coming soon!😘😘
Awesome! 🥳🤍
Is that true? I got the wrong idea then, and an unsual experience.
Invest in a lavaler mic 🎤👍
You describe Anglo-Saxon culture vs Latin culture.
Kiko i wanna asked ive been dating with this guy for 5month, ya ure right after relationship its less. But i just shock that he call my name, like my name not baby or dear anymore. U think its a closure sign? But we still chat but usual chat and he still send me pic or vid. And he still at my insta. But u think by calling my name was a closure? Please help
Hello! Interesting question:) It can be a sign that he is questioning about the relationship. The best thing you can do for you guys & yourself is to ask him why he stopped calling you mon chéri or mon cœur. I know it takes courage to do so but trust me, it is the best thing (only thing) you can do to know where he is at in this relationship. Communication is everything in the relationship and you can ask him without sounding too needy.🪽 Usual chatting, sending photos, videos, his presence on Instagram normally don’t have a lot to do with how serious he is about you so I suggest you to chat with him about it. French people don’t ask you out but when they end a relationship, they do have a (long) discussion so I would not also say this is a closure tho!
Pls let me know how it goes!! Sending hugs 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
@@kikohirakawa ok kiko thanks, yes i will let u know how it goes
Hi Kiko! Coming from Asia with similar experience here :) How many dates did you go on before realizing that you are really in a relationship? It's quite tricky as he doesn't explicitly communicate this. Thanks!
Hello! Thank you for your comment & question :) maybe I would say on average, three dates from my 7 years of dating experience in France & my friends’ experience😃
Thank you@@kikohirakawa :) Another question: Did you have experience with any French man that is more into meeting up and doesn't like texting? He usually only texts me for setting up our next plan only and Idk how to communicate on daily basis... But when hanging out in real life, he is more affectionate and sociable 😫
@@jaimeleboba 100%! They prefer to meet up right away and see if they feel any connection with you (normally physical first before emotional one). That being said, every French man is different, especially if you guys are still on the stage to get to know each other, they might text you more and seem to be kind but later in a relationship, it might become less and a bit colder 😆 With your person, if you don't like how you guys currently communicate, you can always let him know in a way that is not too needy (a bit playful) :) It is important that you also stay yourself tho! 🥰
Mine is prolly a bit different as he is not touchy and didnt initiate any physical touch yet although its already our 4th date🙈@@kikohirakawa lets see as each man is an individual and Valentine is coming so i keep my hopes high 😳 thank you!
I am 5'5 guy. Can you see over my head?
I get stared a lot too in some countries here in Europe, and when I lived in Japan it was even worse - they'd even take pictures of me. Although people might be just curious because they don't see people like us that often, it can be extremely uncomfortable at times... I think "do I have something on my face? or my hair? are my clothes dirty?" 😅 in my country we know how to not make it so obvious that we're looking at someone, but I guess it's not like this everywhere lol
Thank you Mia for sharing your experience!! I'd love to know what it is like to stare at someone or be stared at in Brazil 😀And Yes! I cannot even imagine what's like to be a "gaijin" in Japan - my experience here would be nothing compared to that 🥲That's been said, the last time I was there this summer, I noticed that there were way more visitors, especially in Tokyo. It felt like there were only foreigners in Shibuya. I think this is because the government has been putting efforts into boosting tourism and more adaptable for foreigners (such as creating more English signs, etc.) since COVID-19. So I hope you will have a different experience if you go back there next time <3 would be so nice to hang out with you actually🥰
I love how positive and confident you are 🥰🥰 Your vibe is very refreshing! I'm also a "tall" Asian 182 cm, back home I was the tallest among almost everyone, but now I live in the Netherlands and here I'm average haha
Why do you live in the netherlands
Thank you lovely! 🥰Yes, I've heard that the Netherlands has the tallest people and when I was visiting there, I certainly felt good about my height haha I hope for you that people there treat you well and that you feel safe and good 🤍🤍
I always assumed Asians were Shorter, but as far the Amazons Go, you are a gem!
Go to live to The Netherlands, there you will be safe because everybody is tall so you won't stand out.
Haha I have certainly thought of that option 😆
@@kikohirakawa yeah my dear new friend KIKO , I feel your pain and dangerous uncomfortable situation when someone harass you and stalking you, I wish I was there to protect you. I just discover your Channel on UA-cam by accident today on October 25,2023, and immediately I subscribe your channel. In my opinion France is a dangerous country . Especially Paris is a craps hole city on my book and sorry for saying that. I think you should move out of France if you can , and I think you should move back to Japan because it’s WAY much safer than any European countries for Asian women. However, that may not be possible for you to move back home to your beautiful mother land Japan at this moment in time because due to lack of opportunity for your career field. So, the next best opinion which I do agree with another person on here suggestion is to move to Netherlands because it is much safer than France and the people there are mostly tall. My name is danny, and I am Asian - Chinese Vietnamese American living in California, and I hope I can be your good friend if possible Kiko 😃😃👍👍. Personally, I don’t mind to hang around with tall people and I am confident and secure, and I don’t discriminate height, gender, or race. I will follow your Instagram. Please take care yourself and be safe out there in the mean time. God bless you Kiko 😃😃👍👍💕🌷
You're the 1%!
You’re also the 1% of humanity leaving a comment 🙈Thank you!!✨

This made me tear up. The fact people go through this is so, so heartbreaking. The fact young girls are getting told to lose weight to “fit in” is unbelievable😢
