 Chinese dating is a reflection of their culture. If you intend dating a Chinese person you should be aware of certain practices that may be frowned upon and othersa that you may find strange at firs
• Chinese women are by nature, coy and will generally hesitate tao make the first move. If a Chinese woman does show her interest by perhaps writing to you, please be responsive, polite and encouraging. • A Chinese woman might pay far too much attention on her education than what you think is normal, but you must be understanding about this. In China, one’s successful future hinges upon a good education.
• Chinese women are not really money-minded but to them a good relationship depends on financial security. So do be surprised if you get asked a few questions about your finances when Chinese dating...
• The Chinese will openly ask questions about age, health or salary as these are not considered private matters.
• Chinese ladies who are widowed or divorced can find it extremely difficult to find someone who is willing to marry her again.
• Any Chinese person who is well-spoken in English is mostly well-educated. However, speaking haltingly in English does not necessarily mean the person is uneducated. It could merely be due to the lack of opportunity to practice.
• Most Chinese are communists and do not belong to any particular religion.
• Chinese women may not have as strong notions on punctuality and making advance bookings. Maybe you could gently instruct her in the Western views on showing up on time and showing respect for other peoples time.
• During Chinese dating, men are expected to pickup the meal tabs. Going “Dutch” is not a popular idea in China.
• Taking your date out to dinner is a good idea as Chinese women cannot and do not drink either on a date or even at social functions.
• Chinese women may reveal their feelings for you by resorting to the milder “I like you” instead of coming right out and saying “I love you”. They may not exhibit their love for you very openly or overtly, but will reveal their true feelings for you in many indirect and elegant ways.
• Chinese women usually convey their feelings by setting about and doing all your chores such as cooking for you and ironing all your clothes. This does not mean she is trying to control your life- she is merely trying to make your life easier. And if she does muster up the courage to ask you to do something for you, no need to take offense. It is a definite indication that you mean something to her.
• For a Chinese women, one of the important ways to show real love and concern is by asking about the other person’s health and caring for them when they are ailing.
• For most women, Chinese dating means you are seriously considering getting married to her. If you aren’t, you need to let her know in advance. |
