Idiom: An Important Tip To Date A Chinese Girl

Do you want to have a Chinese girlfriend?

Well, the dating culture in China is very different compared to the western countries.

Let me share with you an important advice to date a Chinese girl.

I will use a famous Chinese saying to explain the point.

• 心急吃不了热豆腐 (Xīnjí chī bùliǎo rè dòufu): Haste makes waste; an impatient person wouldn’t be able to eat doufu.

The phrase is also written as-

• 性急吃不了热豆腐 (xīnjí chī bùliǎo rè dòufu): Haste makes waste; eat hot tofu slowly.

Here is a simple break up of this idiom:

• 心急 (xīn jí): Impatient
• 性急 (xìng jí): Impatient
• 吃不了(chī bu liǎo): Cannot finish (too much food); cannot finish
• 热 (rè): Hot
• 豆腐 (dòu fu): Bean curd; tofu; doufu

This is an old and very famous Chinese saying. It means – if you are rushing, you won’t be able to eat hot bean curd. To rephrase, hot tofu can’t be eaten in a hurry.

This sentence is used as a metaphor for not doing things in a hurry. Rather, we should be doing every step conscientiously; otherwise, the results will not be satisfactory.

Point being, you need to show patience.

Do you want to date a Chinese woman? You need to understand her mindset. DO NOT RUSH.
