How will a (tall) French girl be perceived in Korea? Living and dating?

So I'm a French girl who's been living abroad for 5 years now. I am fluent in English and I also hold american citizenship but other than that, I was living in France before moving to the UK for uni.

Anyway, I've been teaching in Thailand for 2 years now and I will most likely be moving to Korea by December. I was never interested in korean culture before meeting koreans and it was not until I went there for a trip that I really made up my mind. I used to think Korea was only about K-pop and plastic surgery and never did I expect to fall for the language, the lifestyle, the food and the people :)I am fully aware that nowhere's perfect and I may be a little too excited but I am committed to move and teach there now.

I also have questions regarding dating as I met up with a friend in Seoul. We met for the first time in Thailand and he had invited me to come visit him a year ago. During the 4 times we saw each-other in Seoul, he was very complimentary, open-minded, caring and of course he insisted on paying for everything. He would also stand very close behind me as we walked together and he made sure I always went back home safe. I also met his friend and he told him I was "so cute, smart and nice" but other than that, he didn't try to initiate anything. He is my main contact and I think it's safe to say that we "clicked" but I was just wondering if he was simply "very nice" or if he felt something too.. Oh I'm 23 and he's 27, he says age doesn't matter (very unkorean :)

    Im Korean myself too. First of all, Koreans LOVE white girls. If youre blonde or white you got yourself an A++++. Second, you speak English, that is another plus because Koreans love the English language. Look at all their songs! Almost 99.9% of their lyrics contain an English word. If you end up with a Korean man, they will feel great to have you because they will feel like a king for dating a white girl. Many Korean men will be jealous of him.

    Korean guys some are very outgoing, some are quiet. Im assuming this guy is the quiet type. That means... You might have to approach him if you are interested in him. That will show him a sign that you are interested. But them being nice doesn't always mean that they are into you. Also, you being too nice might make them think that you are interested in him.

    Go for it and make him feel great! He will make you feel good about yourself too. But be careful since a lot of Korean men tend to have anger issues. Most Korean men are short tempered so hopefully hes not one of those. Korea is changing a lot too so hopefully men are not like they used to be with women.

    Anyways, I hope this helped and good luck and have fun in Korea!
