Dating can be a minefield no matter where you are in the world. It can be complex, people can put pressure on themselves and not to mention expectations from peers around you. Surely, it’s obvious that there isn’t a rule book to give you a blow by blow of how to date the right way. Of course not. However, across the globe there are cultural expectations and trends in place to help you if you’re deviating from the ‘norm’ For example, in New York singles can be seen dating up to 5 people at a time to weigh up their options and keep an open-mind; there is a love for New Yorkers to get together and analyse each date against each other. Ruthless or wise- who knows? It’s just the way they do things. Whereas, in the UK we like to date one person at a time, assess and then perhaps move on to the next. Potentially, a mentality of Brits thinking the grass is always greener. Some might say more serious in their search for soulmate- but that’s open to interpretation.
