Customize your search for Asian singles. Depending upon who you are, your ethnicity and your familiarity with various Asian cultures, you should develop an approach specifically tailored to your situation and the situation in the communities (real and virtual) in which you participate.

Make a list of your friends, connections, special-interest groups, family members and leisure activities. Consider where you can expand your involvement or increase your communication if it promises to bring you into contact with additional Asian singles. Make sure everyone close to you knows that you are looking to meet some new people.

Make a list of new groups, athletic programs or other activities that could increase the number of Asian singles you meet. Going to a new group, attending a different church or cultural group's singles night, branching out into logical new areas and continuing to talk up what you are doing may help you reach your goal.

Use Internet-dating services as just small parts of the process. There are many things you can do in "the real world," so concentrate on the non-computer activities and use the Internet to support your other searches and activities. To make a start on Internet dating with an Asian focus, go to MeetAsian.com (see Resources below).

Stay aware of cultural difference, especially if you are a non-Asian seeking to meet an Asian for dating or a possible relationship. Before taking a new relationship too far, do some research on interpersonal behavior within that ethnic or national group. Some cultures embrace specific rules concerning dating.

Tips & Warnings
Be careful approaching someone of a different culture, even if you're an Asian approaching another Asian. Each person's background is unique, so stay sensitive and be understanding. For example, Japanese customs are very different from Korean traditions. There are also differences attributable to how long the person and his family have been in the U.S. Do your homework, so that you do not unintentionally offend someone.
