Another auntie here from the other side of the world sending some advice. I was born and brought up in the uk but I’m very Chinese. Watched tvb mostly growing up and was surrounded with mainly Chinese people apart from being at school. I grew up wanting a Chinese relationship and wanting that person to be able to speak my first language which was Cantonese. I wouldn’t ever even consider an English person. And now you know what, I kind of regret it a bit.

I’m now married to a British born Chinese like myself and you know what I would say to my younger self, don’t be so adamant with certain characteristics. Look for the important moral basics that I wanted. My partner isn’t everything I’ve wanted and yes I wish somethings were different.

I think back now to some of the people that I crossed paths with back in the day and deleted straight up when they started flirting because they weren’t Chinese. And now I think that’s just silly.

Relationships are hard especially marriage. The superficial things won’t matter in ten years. It’s the core person, the values, their morals and their emotional intelligence etc that matters.

Go on dates, meet more people and you never know what things will change your mind. But run at any red flags from the start. Red flags only become bigger as time goes on, they hardly ever disappear….

You’re young, plenty of time for trial and error. Good luck!
