This isn't a race thing, more of a cultural thing.

I met a girl on Hinge, she is from China but studies in my city in the UK. We both had a good time, it was a simple coffee and walk date, I walked her home after and we agree'd we would see each other again next week.

What I don't know is, how will the differences between our cultures affect dating? I don't want to cross any boundaries I shouldn't and most of all I don't want to offend her. I plan on talking to her about these things if we go on to have more than 3 or 4 dates, but in the mean time, is there anything I should know?

I really enjoyed the company of this girl, and I can see myself having something special with her but I'm also being cautiously optimistic, it has only been 1 date after all.

She is Chinese living in the UK. So she is more mindful and open to your culture.

The big things: don't bring up, or talk about, unless she starts the discussion - Taiwan, Chinese Politics, Uygers, etc.

Nice to haves she might appreciate:

  • Taking shoes off before entering a house
  • Having chopsticks at home, and knowing how to use them
  • Having a hot water boiler always ready to go
  • Having different teas stocked

Taiwan, Chinese Politics, Uygers, etc.

On the contrary, bring these things up immediately and if she answers like a CCP shill, stop dating her.
