Chinese Online Dating

When both people in a potential dating relationship are Chinese, they are very well aware of Chinese cultural norms. However, when one of those people is not Chinese, conflicts are inevitable and need to be discussed upfront before they become an issue.

Here are a few good tips on dating and Chinese culture:

Chinese women are typically a little coy and expect the man to make the first move. Men are expected to be in a lead role when it comes to relationships. This applies to both initial contact, and every step along the way.

Always show respect and be polite when talking to a Chinese woman, whether you are face to face or on an online dating site.

Also remember that, in China, health and salary are not considered to be private issues and are expected to be discussed openly and freely.

Chinese men expect women who have never been married to be young. It is strange for a Chinese woman to remain unattached until the age of 30. They are looked on with suspicion. Older single women are more likely to jump at a dating opportunity because they are normally shunned by Chinese men to some extent. Divorced women are usually shunned in Chinese society. Widowed women fare a bit better, but not by much. In any event, if you pay attention to widowed or divorced Chinese women on an online dating site, you will likely be very successful.

Education is status in Chinese society. The better your education, the more respect you accrue.

In the Chinese culture, women are taught to see security in financial stability. They will tend to marry success rather than looks.

A big majority of Chinese people who have a good command of the English language are usually well educated. Those who are not probably have never had the opportunity to learn, so a little patience will make it a little easier for them to learn, remember patience is a virtue.

Because of the banning of religion by Mao, entire generations of people in China have grown up without religion in their lives.

China is pretty much a male dominated society, so the man is expected to pay for everything on a date, this includes dinner, movies, theatre, snacks and, if needed, taxis.

Always try to be upfront and honest with your intentions as many Chinese people date with the soul purpose of finding a potential spouse, so to avoid any misconception it is wise to make your true intentions known right from the start.

Many Chinese people are not into drinking alcohol, so you should consider suggesting a venue where something other than just alcohol is served. Since most Chinese are into green teas, you may find that many restaurants are not to their liking because of that. Try to be sensitive to their needs.

Do not have any expectations of mainland Chinese people showing up for a date on time. It is not in the culture..

Try not be offended if he or she wants to help you tidy up your things or perform some kind of maintenance around your home, mowing the lawn, doing dishes maybe even helping you paint, it means that he or she really likes you and wants to do something nice to help you out.

Chinese people are very attentive to the sick, and are also very health conscious. Expect them to be vocal about things they see you do that they do not think is healthy.

Chinese people are not into public displays of affection, to the point that you may not even realize that they are in love with you. They are unlikely to say, “I love you”.

Being aware of some of the major differences in the culture between the western world and China will help you to be a little more understanding towards each other and of each others expectations.
