Singaporean men – the stereotype we all have in mind is the good boy that marries his first girlfriend and lives with his parents until he is married. Actually, that is quite true. All the Singaporean boys I know live with their parents. It’s kind of crazy. Even the ones I didn’t think were so Singaporean live with their family. It’s quite strange. So for them, dating isn’t just dating. They get into relationship with you with the thought of marrying, not just because of dating. For them, a relationship is much more serious than how we take it. If they date you, they will likely marry you. They won’t date you, if they don’t see a future, they won’t even date you. It’s actually quite efficient.
With that said, the dating comes slowly. A friend (Singaporean) is currently taking a girl out on dates. It took 7 dates before there were hand-holding. If there’s no consummation, there’s at least loads of making out already. However, they did discuss that one shouldn’t change facebook status without consult the other one. Really? Facebook status is discussed before handholding? What type of relationship is this, if handholding hasn’t even occurred yet?
What I think of a sign of affection is more like touching or flirting. In Singapore, it’s bumping. You walk next to each other and you accidentally “bump” into each other as you walk. Sign of affection and definite flirting…. Like I said, Singaporean dating is a strange place.
