There are some cultural differences between women from different continents in the world. Dating Asian women in certain aspects will be very different from dating women from the USA. Those who are considering it should take into consideration some of the unique cultural traditions of Asians.
For starters, Asians have strong family ties. Even those who have migrated to the US normally carry their family traditions with them. Asian women consider what their families thought in terms of relationships much more than American families do. Although many of the Asians living in the US have been Americanized, some of them still believe that marriage is fixed by their elders. So, if you are serious about dating Asian women, it will be best that you try to get in the good graces of her families first.
They tend to be more conservative in going out on dates, so depending on the person, try to choose a place that is more to her liking. It will be better to let her choose the place to date, so she can be within her comfort zone. If she is the more liberal type then she will be choosing the place accordingly, and that will be a good signal for you on the type of approach that will work well with her.
When you pick her up in her house it will be best to bring some small tokens for her family. In general, people love this good gesture, but to the Asian families this means a lot. Your date will appreciate the small things that you are doing for her family.
As in any culture, Asian women appreciate a good sense of humor. Just be careful on funny anecdotes that have racial slur in them, and remember they are a minority. It is best to be neutral when it comes to these things or better yet try to tell stories where the joke is on you.
Show sincerity in your comments, and try to compliment her without being sarcastic. Try to be yourself and do not over analyze your date. They will want to be treated like anybody else, and it is just a question of limits, which is applicable to any woman Asian or not. Dating Asian women is basically the same as in any culture, but it will be a great help if you know some details in their culture. They will try to clarify this if you have any misconception on it.
For Asians, even when doing business, friendship is above any transaction, unlike in the US where friendship has nothing to do with business. Try to be friendly with her first but be clear about your intentions. Do not expect her to call you after your first date even if you both have a lot fun. She may expect you to do the follow-up and to arrange future dates or meetings. Dating Asian women may not be that different from dating other women, but keeping these things in mind will help you, especially if you fall for a conservative Asian woman.
