Great things about cross-cultural dating

To each his or her own ideas of fun

So cross-cultural dating is my bag, in fact it's all I ever do. It's not just the exoticism of having a foreign partner... there are also really cool things about dating in a culture where you have no clue. Here's a list, if you're a cross-cultural dater feel free to add yours....

1. Family and friends of your beloved expect you to make hideously bad and embarassing faux pas', so you need not hang yourself over it when you get home.

2. You will be annoyed and irritated in new and novel ways in your relationship.

3. Your beloved will surprise you with actions that defy all logic as you know it. And you'll then have the fun task of trying to "get" why the h&ll they did that.

4. If your beloved speaks a foreign language then you'll be able to sit through dinner with his folks blissfully ignorant of the snide remarks & pointed questions the family might make in regards to you. Instead you can concentrate on eating the really tasty stuff his mum makes and smile nervously at anyone who makes eye contact with you.

5. If you're dating a foreign language speaking woman, congratulations, she'll coach you through an intense language program that will have you fluent in her language inside of a year. All for free. If you're dating a foreign language speaking man, you have your spare time back as he'll just smile and say you're poor attempts to speak his language are cute while insisting you both speak yours.

6. Foreign bad habits are undoubtedly much more interesting and lovable than domestic ones.

7. You'll find yourself grocery shopping in stores where you can't read the packaging and have to guess what the item is, by how it looks and feels.

8. Your beloveds grandparents will adore you. At last someone they can tell ALL their lifestories to, and you can't even politely excuse yourself.
