Oh, love. It can be the best feeling in the world, and it can cause the worst feeling when you lose it. Dating is a minefield for everyone, and it can be tough to find a boyfriend who you love _ and your parents can tolerate. That last part is never easy, especially if your parents say you’re too young or that dating is just a distraction from your quest to become a Harvard-educated professional.
Even when parents are ready to deal with their Asian-American daughter’s love life, they don’t always love the guy you fall for. Maybe your Asian parents only want you to date Asian boys. Or they’re really uncomfortable with you dating at all… yet they want grandkids! Maybe you and all your friends are Chinese, but you have a crush on a white boy in a different clique at school. Maybe you’re in love and things are starting to get serious? This short, simple, and to the point book will give you the advice you need on all these issues and more.
