In every Asian country that I have been to, a girl simply doesn't call you a friend after you give her flowers, and take her out on a really nice one-on-one trip. Or even just talking to her often one-on-one.
Do that to a girl in Asia and she'll seriously end up thinking that you want to marry her and start a family. She will start talking about meeting her parents, what you are planning to do for your future, and bride price matters.
Do that to a girl in the US and nothing happens. She'll just say "OMG you're such a cool friend! Why can't I have more friends like you?" Or, she just ignores you.
The friend zone isn't really much of problem here in Mexico, except perhaps in certain areas of the country that are heavily Americanized (but I could be wrong). Sometimes I'm the one who's friend zoning certain girls I meet. And sometimes, even when a girl and I say "nuestra amistad" (our friendship) or she calls me "amigo", we eventually end up developing feelings for each other to some extent. For instance, a year ago, I briefly dated a BBW from La Piedad, Michoacan, and on a Facebook post she called me "amigo", even though we flirted and held hands at the time. And even if a certain girl in Mexico isn't interested in me romantically, she is still open to spending one-on-one time with me.
But further explaining the whole American women thing to a woman abroad would be like explaining rocket science to a snail.
...which is clearly why I would rather NOT have to explain the American dating scene to Mexican women, especially considering than many of them haven't even been to the U.S. of Gay before.
