When it comes to intercultural
couples, common dating tips knowledge becomes a delicate zone. Firstly, because
the famous physical comfort barriers, studied by sociologists and
communications specialists, are entirely broken. When one is interested in
another, comfort zone changes its nucleus from himself/herself to the partner.
If two people from different
cultures like each other, it means that either two moral values systems,
traditions, social interests and rules match in some way or one of them is not
a typical representative of his culture. Even so, each of the two partners has
his/her own taboos and views, which makes the conversation a bit harder to
harmonize, but opens a beautiful gate to more communication subjects. As Paula
Abdul says, “Opposites attract”.
Key steps to some other traditional shoes
The key to your partner’s heart
goes, this time, through his/her culture, before reaching stomach. And this
goes through three steps: knowing, appreciation and respect for their culture.
Luckily, knowing begins with the first date. General discussions about
village/city traditions, social specific rules, regional special customs, how
foreigners are viewed spice up and relax atmosphere between the two future
lovers.
When the shoes can be broken
It’s important to know your
partner’s culture, but not to adopt it. Remember they like you for who you are.
Paula Abdul might agree on this too.
No matter where your partner’s
from, don’t talk about: women’s position in society in comparison with men,
symbols, events manners, time and space perception, prejudice, political or
religious issues.
Now good luck!
