As an otaku who has lived in Guangzhou for many years, I deeply understand the confusion that comes when a girl says, "Let's just be friends." Every time I hear this phrase, my heart skips a beat: Am I being friend-zoned? Or is there still a chance?
I remember one time when I mustered up the courage to ask a girl I liked out for dinner, and she responded, "Let's just be friends." I was completely stunned and had no idea how to respond. Later, when I discussed this with a few female friends, they revealed that there are many hidden meanings behind a girl saying "Let's just be friends."
For example, if she says, "Let's be friends first," she might be giving you a chance to get to know her better. But if she says, "Let's just be friends," it's basically a polite rejection. The word "first" is crucial, but unfortunately, I didn't catch it at the time.
When it comes to getting out of singlehood, girls in Guangzhou are quite practical. I have a friend who won over his current girlfriend with his excellent cooking skills. He said that Guangzhou girls particularly value whether a guy can take care of others, and being able to cook is a big plus. So, instead of staying at home playing video games all day, why not learn a few signature dishes? You never know when they might come in handy.
Another important point is to learn how to dress well. It's not about wearing expensive clothes, but about being clean and presentable. I know a programmer friend who used to wear plaid shirts all the time. After switching to a white T-shirt and jeans, his whole demeanor changed. As he put it, "Girls really do notice these details."
Finally, I want to say that getting out of singlehood is not something that can be rushed. Instead of constantly thinking about how to chase girls, it's better to focus on improving yourself. As one netizen said, "When you become good enough, the right person will naturally be attracted to you." This might sound a bit cliché, but it's actually quite true.
So, my fellow otakus in Guangzhou, don't lose heart. Starting today, try stepping out of your comfort zone and participate in more social activities. Your soulmate might be waiting for you just around the corner. Remember, opportunities always favor those who are prepared. Keep it up!
