Does and Don'ts when Dating Asian Singles
By:Kay Mub

Before you take the leap into Asian dating, let us give you some tips on how to handle yourself!

Always show your date some respect. The Asian culture is very highly focused on respect and honor and many Asian women, even the most modern hold these values in very high regard.

Whether you are looking to date a single Asian women or a single Asian man, it is simply courteous to avoid phrases such as ‘I have an Asian fetish, I prefer Asian women etc’ because this categorization could be viewed as being offensive!

Do realize that within the Asian cultures there are many different Asian ethnicities. For example the Japanese dating traditions are different to what Chinese singles or Thai singles consider being good dating practices. So it is good practice to learn the differences between the different cultures such as the differences between dating someone from Vietnam to dating someone in the Philippines rather than classifying them all as Asian women or Asian men.

Be aware that whilst some Asian singles may be excited at the prospect of interracial dating but their families may be strongly opposed to it. Most modern Asian women will stand up for their dating beliefs and do not need to report to their families, but other more traditional women might take a little while longer to have the courage to go into interracial dating. Asian men on the other hand may be slower to adopt interracial dating due to family pressures and traditional beliefs.

When dating Asian singles do realize that there will be a lot of cultural differences. The way you understand something might not be the same way your partner will understand it. Both of you might be right but cultural differences could result in a break down of communication. It is advisable to start practicing good communication skills with each other because as with any other relationship you have had in the past, communication is the key to success.

Give them a bit of space. Speed is not going to make an Asian or other relationship work any better. Do not pressure your date or make them feel uncomfortable by coming on too strong. Just take things slow and wait for him or her to give the appropriate signs.

These are just a few general tips to help you in the Asian dating scene but as we all know, for any relationship to be successful it needs honesty, communication and love. Start this relationship in the same way you would any other ….a positive attitude.
