subject: Dating - Singapore Style [print this page] Dating in Singapore is totally different from the dating norms of other countries. The breeding and social culture of Singaporean girls are different as that of Westerners, yet is similar in a lot of sense to the Chinese and other Asian nations. The pick up lines you may see on American or European television may not work well when you try it in Singapore. As I said, dating in Singapore is a totally different experience and dating a Singapore girl is not as easy as it seems.
In the United States and in Europe, pick up lines are a dime a dozen. Women get many pick up lines in a day that some pick up lines now even seem horribly clich. Dating in Singapore does not make use of the numerous pick up lines you see on TV.
Singapore girls are generally wooed by guys who try to be nice to them and by showering them with presents. Dating in Singapore involves a guy bringing a girl to expensive restaurants, buying flowers, buying expensive gifts, supplicating to them and sending them right to their doorstep after every date just to impress them.
Dating in Singapore is also much more complex that it seems. The guys know that dating a Singaporean girl would also mean dating her best friend or her circle of friends for that matter. Her female friends will always want to know the scoop about the relationship - the good, the bad and the ugly. Also, they will always be prepared to offer key insights and unsolicited advice.
Dating in Singapore is also not measured by attractiveness. In other countries, the more attractive you are, the greater the chances for you to get a date will be. In Singapore, even the most attractive ones will not get a date unless of course they are visible. Thus, socialization is an essential prerequisite for dating in Singapore.
