It's alright
I suffer from an acute case of Yellow Fever myself. I did actually make the mistake a few years ago of trying to talk to the Oriental Goddess I'd seen wafting around the department and made the most complete and total arse of myself. Not to discourage you, of course: if the 'Flirting' QOTW taught us anything*, you never know what might happen if you just try. (And if you do, best of luck to you)

Well, I have had a chinese (English born) girlfriend before, and yes. Amazing. Luckily, I she approached me first, so I didn't have to! Doesn't happen often enough.

Good luck to you too, sah!

My wife is Chinese*...
... and she refers to herself and others as Oriental. Often says she doesn't see it as anything other than factual.

The only rule is - everything will offend someone.



* Actually British-born Chinese rather than mail-order Chinese.

My girlfriend is Vietnamese...
And she loves it when I call her an "Oriental hottie"...
