Then these boys grow up and are exposed to the opposite sex in an abrupt, often sexualized way. This is definitely seen in how they treat not only women, but everyone around them.

The consequence of this is a lack of understanding of women, a lack of comfort and often, a lack of respect. There is a courtesy, consideration, chivalry and thoughtfulness in how they act, behave and engage with others.

I never thought that the cultural background of a dating prospect would make much of a difference when it came to relationships.

However, since living in New York, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many different people from various backgrounds and it’s become clear that there are definite cultural norms specific to European men versus American men (especially New Yorkers).

They are also raised with strong family and community values, so there is a sense of responsibility and accountability for others, not just for the self.

American culture raises children to be fiercely independent and to look out for ‘number one’.

I may not have gone on a first date in over a decade but this much I know: dating in Britain happens at night.

S., serial dating is as common as eating cereal for breakfast. Furthermore it’s okay—expected even—for you to mention that you’re also seeing other people. invention designed to sanitize the process of mate selection and make it seem less murky, awkward and heart-rending than it actually is.

The American way is loud and even arrogant at times. Call it the revolving door or hedging – there’s the idea in the American approach to dating that there’s always something better around the corner.

Daytime dates are a thing here If they can avoid it, Brits don’t do scary stuff by daylight.

Americans are bolder beasts and think nothing of meeting for a romantic midday coffee or an afternoon stroll in a scenic graveyard, which is how one of my expat friends spent her first date with her current American squeeze.Now, when I discuss the differences between European and American, I’m referring to a mindset. American men on the other hand, tend to be goal oriented, with the aim of getting laid.
