I'm in a cross-cultural relationship as well. I'm Canadian, and he's Filipino. Fortunately for us his English is very good, but I know he struggles at times. It doesn't help that he's still in the Philippines so he hasn't had the chance to be immersed into Canadian use of English, aside from me. When I visit there he's very accommodating around food. He's the adventurous cook, while I cook very few things. We find a balance, or we have different things in a meal from time to time. To be honest, culturally, I feel more at home there than in Canada, even with its more conservative values. A part of me has never felt at home here in Canada, or in the U.S. when I went to university there. Our friendship is fairly strong. We both like to hang out at home, even if we are doing our own thing. Sometimes we plan to go somewhere, and then both decide we'd rather stay home. We are very compatible that way. One big difference is family. He's very close to his family. I've lived away from mine for a very long time. In some ways that makes it easier. I feel closer to his nieces and nephews than my own. We are both very easy going, without overly strong opinions, so I think that helps tremendously. And some of our habits were so similar, even before we met in person. Being in an LDR, communication is our most important connection point. And we seem to do well. We rarely have disagreements, which is likely our weak point, but I attribute that to both being easy going and not overly concerned with our differing opinions.

Thanks for sharing your story. I think it helps others to hear stories from others experiences. I hear of more people who don't struggle with accepting themselves, but there's still a long way to go until that struggle is gone completely. And the struggle of coming out will likely be a thing for quite a while because I don't see society changing enough for people to stop assuming everyone is straight. As much as I'd like to see that change, with the percentage of the population who are gay being so small it probably wouldn't make sense for that assumption to change a lot, unfortunately.

Thank you, it was a must-have video! Do I have to speak English because I am not good at English? Or do I need to go with someone to translate for me? I'm going to do fingerprinting next week, but I'm so nervous. Then, bye. Have a nice day.. 👀👍

This is such a detailed run through and just what I need. Thank you so much ❤

Congrats on your green card! Thanks for sharing. Useful info!

Feel free to skip to 07:29 if you just want to see our timeline. Time stamps and related links are in the descriptions. I’d also like to quickly acknowledge that I’m very thankful for the LGBTQIA members that fought for the rights of same-sex marriage so it is legal for us to stay together as a couple. Our path would not have been the same otherwise. 🙏🙇🏻‍♂️

Actually I really wonder how it feels like being Chinese in US cause I wanna go there for further study 😢

Now that I started working again, I've noticed that I can get really into work and forget to prioritize myself. It's a struggle that I yet need to figure out. Do you have that problem? How do you deal with it? Also, some related links in the description! Simply clicking on them could help me.😉

Death and dying, forever powerful topic to explore.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love to see people happy in my home town. The fact I’ve lived here my entire life and never been to convoy lake 😂

看你的影片可以精進會話的能力😂 還好一切的安排都這麼剛好，讓Peter順利渡過難關！

What a coincidence !!! Your bro and his gf are definitely meant to be each other!!! Blessing your family!!!🤞🙂

Life is a theater. The ups and downs are unpredictable but I intend to live my life to the fullest. I hope you are, too. 😄

再看一次，還是很好看很懷念！

社區景物的畫面很美！滿地落葉好詩情畫意喔！

沒有中文字幕喔？

hi ive got a small cut in my index finger do you think that’d be a problem thanks

Videos keep getting better 👍🏼

You two are so sweet together. Definitely one of the most spontaneous moments like the hot tub was the highlights. The drone footage was great. 🤘

My first travel video using my own drone footage. I'm very excited about that! Also, it was funny to see my own reaction after I shot the water out of the jet tub. That was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. What's your favorite part?

Hello sir, I missed my biometric appointment for us citizenship because of being out of my state. Is it already denied or I need to wait? What should I do please tell me…

Hello David, how are you? Thank you so much for your content, it was super helpful!! Quick question: I'm putting together all docs to send to USCIS. Where am I supposed to pay the biometric services fee of $85? Do I have to send a separate check together with my package, or do I pay this fee when I go to the application support center in person to collect my biometrics?

Very nice .

Congrats guys. I would grab that big too. The only thing that sucks here is biological family didn't seem to show up. But you have found your person so screw them

Interesting, though having had 15+ years of relationships with Asian guys (10 years for the relationship I thought would be forever, sniff), and none born or raised in the US, I've experienced these things to a varying degree, but what's more important I think is the varying personalities of all involved. Fortunately the food thing came easy (credit a Cambodian lover who was accomplished in both Chinese and Vietnamese food, plus a multiculti metro area). Later, sometimes I actually preferred eating more Asian than my partner. Though I also adjusted my cooking style, which was especially tough in the early cohabitation years when money was tight and my budget repertoire leaned heavily toward milk/butter/cream based casserole's. Internal communication was never really a problem, externally I had to stop being a translator - eventually I realized that was demeaning. In moments of great emotion I also had to learn to pull back; it's not fair to steamroll over someone who isn't finding the words, or worse (rage) when English totally deserts them. But I do think you're right and we (the native speaker) tend to forget all the inborn advantages. Not to mention that, with the 'right' ethnicity and education, we're often given a free pass or at least lots of favorable assumptions that others are not. (Oddly, that even seems to carry over in the maybe 3 months I've spent in SE Asia over the years - you might be treated like a rube, but you're still an American - discussion for another day lol) Oh, finally language: with a little bit of English, I can work with any accent and derive meaning. But, aside from a smattering for French and much much less Spanish - I am the product of US schools and a frozen brain: no foreign language capability at all, let alone anything tonal!

David I had a similar except that mine was one that lasted and still is with me. I like your story even though you are way younger than me. but thanks for sharing it and giving me some, late, but helpful overcoming to the inner experience.

I literally felt the same way as you do the moment I found myself more attracted to boys than girls at that age. I tried so hard to suppress it because of the pressure surrounding me. Yet years later, I found myself in Senior high, this time I grew up a lot and found a place where my prejudices started to go away. I've never been a romantic in the past years of high school until I met this guy. We were assigned to be teammates in a contest. He is charming, outgoing and confident. Though I find his confidence overbearing and his little dances annoys me during our first meeting. Fast forward, our team get to win the preliminaries and we started to see each other more to practice for the finals. Weeks of practices later, on the day of the finals, as we wait for the time of the contest, I discovered that he likes drawing, and he has all of my dream drawing materials at that time. Sparkly-eyed, he let me draw in his sketchbook, admiring how the graphite feels, I assume he sensed I really wanted the pencils so bad. A few hours later, just before the contest started, I returned the pencils to him yet, to my surprise, he willingly gave it to me. The contest ended celebrating our victory, and there, we started to become strangers to each other again. A few months have passed, it was October, I entered another contest in the hopes of winning again (all the while subconsciously hoping to see him again). I indeed saw him, but this time, we're on separate teams. I remember one twilight, after we finished our practice, I can feel him repeatedly staring at me. Turns out he is a close friend with one of my teammates. I ran back and forth from the area he is sitting because I was busy at that time. But there was this magnetizing energy I feel every time I pass by him. I was about to go home when he suddenly approached me. He talked to me first and we smoothly drifted to having to catch up with each other for a little bit. He pulled something out of his bag. He gave me the rest of his pencils. Surprised, I found myself speechless. To make things less awkward, he thought of a way to politely end the conversation, and I thanked him a lot for his generosity. I held the pencils tightly with my hands as I walked and felt the cold air with my smile facing the purple sky. My heart started to rapidly beat, my knees weakening, and I found myself overwhelmed with gratitude. Songs have started playing in my head, and in that moment, I knew I have feelings for him.

Don't blog and dive. Even more dangerous than texting. Not really excited about this marriage thing for you (all though i understand the legal necessity). There is just too much doubt there in your words and voice. You're not really feeling it. That rarely ends well.

I'm loving your videos. Your obviously a very smart guy that's very thoughtful. I'm shaking my head in agreement as your talking in most cases. That's rare for me. You know what your talking about so that's what's I appreciate. It's just also obvious to me you're a good dude. Dan is a lucky guy. Not Asian, but my Husband is Columbian and we definitely had to figure out issues since I'm the typical US white guy. Had to learn his native spanish, family culture etc as he was integrating into both the country and our relationship. The fun part for me was learning the new language and foods. The hard part was the family situation them being very catholic, relgious anti gay etc. We almost broke up over that since I don't deal well with the closet. But we ended up working all that out with some time. Now his mama won't stop calling me lol. Multi culture is definitely a challenge but I love it. It's a lot less boring and your constantly learning something new.

Even though I've gotten my AARP card now, I can totally relate. I'd say self-awareness began to dawn around 11, fully aware in all its manifestations by 13. The best friends, the cool kids, the people I just wanted to BE. That was the feeling / I wanted to merge my being - physically, emotionally - with theirs. I could literally vibrate to their mood. But expressed only in daredevil feats (stupid kid shit, but sometimes dangerous), dreams of sacrificing myself to save my friend (at least this was honorable I thought) and half completed sentences across twin beds at sleepovers or maybe venturing just a little more truth camping in a pup tent. But never would I ever say, let alone DO anything. By 14 I knew the score, I knew the game and I knew the politics: so I just fit in. And for the next 3-4 years I either dated girls I really liked and would not hurt - or when the need arose, became strategically caught in intimate situations with those I didn't really care about. (Not so proud of that). But I always knew college would come, in the big city (5 major Universities, and some smaller schools) and then I'd rethink the whole thing on my own terms. Plus, honestly, it wasn't such a bad deal - the HS years were the only time I was in the A list crowd, both grades and parties :) So, yeah, I'm kind of glad I was able to make a choice, and not unhappy with the one I chose.

I just rewatched in detail ( last night it quick run thru) and this is actually great material on what your thinking etc at that stage of life. And also the cultural aspect. But you're doing great so you seem to have navigated it well. And as you describe it, "Zack" dude seems like a pretty good guy so I get why it's still in your mind. From how you tell it, it treated you with respect and wasn't a bully to you. That's often the most important thing when you are younger.

3 six grade asian kids trying to MJ. that was funny how you put it.

You really think the people from you grade school aren't going to figure out who you are talking about? That they won't remember who else was in your dance group? Seriously??

That Zach was certainly no Nick.

Oh my goodness I loooooooved Heartstopper!! Thank you so much for sharing your story! ❤❤❤

如果讓我每天只能在一個小小空間繞來繞去，我可能會瘋掉。

You are a good storyteller, a skill I am yet to master. I like hearing people's stories and how a seemingly small past event might have lasting imprint on us. I was REALLY curios about why Zack seemed disappointed after hearing your answer though :-)

Congrats on getting a drone and your license. I can see that you put in a lot of work in creating this video, lots of small details (that only someone who has tried to create a video would tell) 😅

Hey! Jay 最後會不喜歡你應該是因為看你跟女生相處很好，他很吃味...我有類似經驗... 你跟Zach 是美好的遺憾，不敢讓他知道性向怕破壞關係,選擇遠離... bittersweet...那段時間一定很難過！ But you have family ,enjoy every moment and now. 🙂 Heartstopper is an awesome series!!!👍❤️ It's all about LGBT. 它是漫畫改編的，你可以去看！ Nick(bi)❤️ Charlie(gay) Tao❤️Elle(transgender) Tara❤️Darcy(lesbian)

your amazing

wow

A few things: 1. I put the "Windows" answer in the description if you are interested. Showing my age there! 😆 2. The video was filmed before the Roe v. Wade 2022 ruling so it seemed a bit ironic to hear what I said about being in a "fairly safe environment." I guess safety is a relative term anyway. 😬 3. Have you watched Heartsopper? ❤

加油!
