What Koreans really mean

사귀자 (saguija) comes from 사귀다 (to date, to be in a relationship) plus the suggestion ending -자 (let's). It is a direct, clear proposal to begin an exclusive romantic relationship — usually said after a confession, marking the official start of a couple. Korean dating culture values this directness because it leaves no ambiguity about intentions.
