[quote=GUEST32107,438510]Maybe my answer can give you some ideas. In my observation, it really seems like a culture difference in friendship. Generally speaking, Chinese people looks shier than westerners and therefore they will show less activeness in a relationship. But this doesn't mean they don't care the relationship. Chinese people sometimes are too courteous to bother their friends and this is only because of culture reasons. So your friend call you less than you do. As to the respect for the old, it's another big one in Chinese culture. I guess it influences, to some extent, your friendship with this lady. A friendship between a younger and an older sometimes goes very hard. Don't take it too seriously, have a very frank talk with your friend and let her know what you think. It may work. [/quote]
