What's her Chinese Horoscope sign? And are we compatible?

The Chinese horoscope is a fun way to bond with your Chinese friends. And because of the way the Chinese horoscope is calculated, you can determine someone's age quite accurately - if you know their sign.

What's her real age?

One Chinese friend refused to tell ANYONE her true age - she felt embarrassed and kept quiet about the entire subject. She looked and acted like a young girl...so she refused to reveal that she is much, much older than she looks.

Then one day we chitchatted about our Chinese astrological signs.

That changed everything for her. Suddenly it became fun and enjoyable to talk about her age. She couldn't contain herself. As much as she wanted to keep her age a secret, her desire to share her Chinese animal sign was irresistible.

And you can bet your bamboo I was shocked to find out she was older than me!

Are we compatible?

You might think that talking about astrology could be the deathtrap of any new, blossoming romance. What if her Chinese zodiac guide says we're incompatible?!

Is it really over before it had a chance to begin? Let me share a secret with you...

With that simple remark, any doubts in my Chinese girlfriend's mind vanished completely and we became blissfully compatible again.

Here's the thing: you have a great advantage over Chinese men. Thanks to a very perceptive Chinese fortune teller...I'm about to reveal to you a simple way to steer clear of that possible stumbling block.

The fact of the matter is that my own astrological sign (Pig) is, according to the books, romantically mismatched with my girlfriend's sign (Snake).

When we started dating, my Chinese girlfriend went to the fortune teller to find out what our future held in store for us.

As the reader described my girlfriend's bright future that lay in store for her, the only blemish was this romantic incompatibility.

Then the Chinese fortune teller asked a few more questions about me. When the fortune teller discovered that I was NOT Chinese, she said: “No problem. The Chinese horoscope applies only to Chinese people. You are a match made in heaven!”

That fortune teller is one smart cookie!

With that simple remark, any doubts in my Chinese girlfriend's mind vanished completely and we became blissfully compatible again.

So now you can use that too...only if necessary. Let's face it, if your Chinese signs are already blissfully compatible then why rock the boat? You don't need to mention it. Especially if she believes it too.

What's your Chinese animal sign?
