Our last meeting was at Black Dog
Café. Hwa Won brought with her a topics sheet that she had shown me before,
however we didn’t end up using. We perused through the topics and found a bunch
of fun dating ones.
We discussed how dating tends to work in
the United States as opposed to South Korea. Hwa Won said that in college a lot
of South Korean people go on blind dates with friends. After they meet up, the
girls put their purses or an item of theirs on the table, and the boys all
randomly choose one. Whoever is the owner of the item is their date for the
event. It could get awkward though if you didn’t like the person who chose you
and instead liked your friend’s date.
I
was amazed. I told Hwa Won that I have never gone on a blind date before and
she was surprised. In South Korea they are so common. I said in the United
States there are some people who do go on blind dates, but most dates happen
after meeting someone who seems interesting.
We discussed dating and love a bit more.
We both agreed that a person and his or her partner should compliment one
another. If the two people are too much alike they won’t get anything done. Hwa
Won said that this is how she and her husband are. He always likes to be on the
move, whereas she likes to stay at home and relax. Yet, her relaxation calms
him down, while his activity brings her up. It works.
After our talk of love I pulled out my set
of tarot cards to show Hwa Won. Since it was so close to Halloween, I thought
it would be a fun item to talk about and maybe even use. Hwa Wan thought they
were beautiful and definitely wanted me to give her a reading. I’m not very
skilled at using them, but I gave it a go. Luckily Hwa Won told me that they
matched her question.
It was an excellent note to end on. I very much
enjoyed my conversation sessions with Hwa Won. And I hope that we will keep in
touch.
