Why are American women so bad?

Not that user but as long as you are clean, well groomed and can hold a conversation you will do okay. Only thing I would disagree with is asking her out. You should always leave the relationship status in a twilight zone limbo, unless she's real traditional or crazy in the head she won't care that you aren't formally together. That gives you wiggle room to see other women and not commit. If she really likes you she will bring it up at some point like 'what are we' and then you can say either way.
