Depending on where you come from, Chinese culture is probably very different to what you are used to. This doesn’t stop when it comes to dating Chinese people. Or, indeed, other expats living in China from different countries other than your own. This is a down to Earth account about experiences dating in China – the good, the bad, and the ugly, and how to deal with the cultural differences that almost certainly will arise. *Disclaimer: This is a generalised, personal account, and certainly doesn’t mean all Chinese guys are like this!

In many Western cultures, there are certain steps involved before you can change that Facebook status and you’re actually ‘in a relationship’. This usually looks something like this: Meet – maybe on the internet, through dating apps, or friends. Maybe you are friends first and want to take things to the next level. Date – So you’ve met, you’ve had the first date, and if that went well you probably decided to have a second, third, fourth… etc date. It depends on individuals how long the dating period lasts for. Those with commitment issues will find it much harder to move on to the next stage, which comes with a label… This stage is probably one of the most important stages. You’re getting to get to know each other and testing out your compatibility without the commitment and responsibility of having a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. “In a relationship” – So you’ve made the final step (let’s not even get to talking about marriage) and you’re now officially… In a relationship! At this stage you call each other boyfriend and girlfriend, and generally it’s expected that it is an exclusive relationship. Meaning, no cheating! See these quick tips on meeting girls in Shanghai. Dating In China – Asian Culture. In Asian culture, however, including dating in China, they often seem to miss out the middle step. The idea of “dating” is a rare one to many locals. The most important one! You will meet a guy, or a girl, you go on your first date and then if that goes well, I guess you’re… together? Nothing needs to be said, e.g. nothing is discussed about “taking things to the next level” or whether you can call each other “boyfriend” and “girlfriend”. I’ve often found that it is just presumed so. This is kind of scary, and definitely something to watch out for – since you don’t want to give people the wrong impression and potentially hurt peoples’ feelings without intending to do so. It is important to be clear from the beginning, and if you’re made uncomfortable by things moving too quickly then make sure to tell the person you’re “dating” (or apparently not!?) and help them to understand the important cultural differences. Chinese Dating – ‘Going After’ Girls. A strange concept that isn’t found too much in Western culture, or perhaps not in this capacity, is the idea of ‘going after’ somebody. Sure, if you like somebody you will ‘pursue’ them, and perhaps this is China’s dating equivalent of the lost “middle ground”. The main difference here is the way that it’s done. It could be likened to an old-fashioned “courting” method. If a guy likes a girl, then he will flaunt his stuff by buying presents and showing her what kind of good home and family he can offer. Chinese Dating – Present Buying & Materialism. Following on from the above… One of the best ways to show your love and affection in Chinese culture is by showing it with objects. Expensive ones. China is obsessed with material objects and brand names. There was an article about a Chinese man who bought his foreign girlfriend a Lamborghini as an engagement present. Unfortunately, she said no. Money doesn’t always buy everything apparently! For more stories of madness, look no further than these ridiculous proposals. 9 of the Craziest Marriage Proposals Ever!

Today is Valentine’s Day and it’s time to… Chinese Dating – Same Girl, Same Time, Same Party. Another aspect to this “going after”/“pursuing” business is the fact that friends liking the same girl and trying to go for it at the same time is absolutely no problem . In Western culture, this would often result in the end of a friendship, or at least some arguments. The general etiquette in Western culture would be that if two (or more) friends like the same person, it would either be decided that turns would be taken, let the other person decide, or no one can have them – in order to avoid conflict. In Asian culture, however, it seems that this is not an issue. I have been in situations before where 3 or more friends have all been trying to show off their stuff, actively and openly competing against each other. Whilst fun, it can be a tad odd and overwhelming at first if you’re not used to it or aware of this kind of culture. Chinese Dating – Matching Outfits. You will either find Asian couples in matching outfits super cute – or super sickening. I am totally on board and find it super cute. Although I’ve never done it myself. Any takers? Couples buy the same clothing attire, or as we can see here two pieces of clothing that can ONLY be worn together, and they go and show themselves and their deep love to the rest of the world on the streets of China! These outfits are called 情侣装 – Qínglǚ zhuāng and can be found in sets on Taobao and in stores. Grab your other half and get shopping (or be sick in your mouth a little)!
