This isn’t a race thing, more of a cultural thing.

I met a girl on Hinge, she is from China but studies in my city in the UK. We both had a good time, it was a simple coffee and walk date, I walked her home after and we agree’d we would see each other again next week.

What I don’t know is, how will the differences between our cultures affect dating? I don’t want to cross any boundaries I shouldn’t and most of all I don’t want to offend her. I plan on talking to her about these things if we go on to have more than 3 or 4 dates, but in the mean time, is there anything I should know?

I really enjoyed the company of this girl, and I can see myself having something special with her but I’m also being cautiously optimistic, it has only been 1 date after all.

    If you bring this up super early - you’re just going to make it weird. She’s a person just like you are. Any cultural misunderstanding should be easily rectified given that you are both adults and capable of communicating.

    Relax buddy.

    Just enjoy the time spent together.

      Thanks, I’ll do my best to relax and enjoy it. I’ve not dated for a few years so I’m not really sure what I’m doing 😂
