Law Of Attraction Study Of How Different Cultures React On Dating


When a person attracts the attention of the one that have an interest in, it's only half the battle. Now that this interest has been piqued, where do you go from here? Since the world is one big melting pot with the many different cultures in it, it is not simple to ask the love of your life or rather that affection that melts your heart and keeps you sane, for supper and drinks. There are many different rules on dating since there are many diverse cultures.  While asking someone out could be simple, this often times not the case because any violations of differing cultures can make you a person of distaste and be ridiculed in the eyes of the one person who you wish to impress most. Many, if not most, individuals comprehend that not all the societies have identical views on relationships between a man and a woman. This means typically minor infractions in the relationship are bound to go unnoticed. Yet, it is still important to understand the guidelines in your mate's culture. The people of the United States have, to a great extent, looser view on dating positions than those held by other countries.

America's view on Dating

In America, physical touching is allowed on the very first date... although only hand holding and kissing at the end of the night is expected so long as both parties are interested in doing so.  Should this not be the case of both parties, then the date would be long, boring and rather uneventful.

Eastern World views on dating

In the Eastern and Asian countries, including Korea and Japan, dating may be allowed but unlike Americans, public shows of affection and physical interaction are scowled at. In many cases, kissing and hand holding may not be at ease for the folks of this area. This is especially true if they are in front of strangers.  In other parts of the world, dating is not done at all. In fact, it is discouraged. Should a man and woman like each other, it is anticipated that their ultimate solution or goal would be to get married. Every step should be done with marriage being the ultimate realization of the goal. Arranged marriages in other cultures.  Yet, there are still several cultures where members determine who will date who from another family. It is under the assumption that who they choose will take the time to get to know the other and will join in on family events. Doing otherwise is thought of as rude and insulting.  In other cultures though, joining on the family gatherings should not be done until marriage is established. There is no doubt; there are pitfalls when trying to form a bond across cultural dividers. If a person wants to date someone outside their culture, they should take the time to study how the person's courtship works. This is to avoid any issues that could arise.
