INTERRACIAL DATING
Proper Etiquette for Men Dating Thai Women
How a man conducts himself in front of a lady determines the outcome of his attempts to woo her. It’s an age old practice for a man to romance his way into a woman’s heart.
For you to win over the Thai woman of your dreams, you’ll have to watch how you behave around her.
Get to know these women better by learning these dating tips:
Minimize your volume in public.
If you go against the social norms of the Thai, you’re sure to be at the center of attention. This is what they call losing face in Thailand.
You might be misunderstood if you were to speak in a loud volume. This is often equated to anger, which will undoubtedly earn you a few stares from bystanders.
You wouldn’t want to embarrass yourself and the Thai women you like, would you?
Keep your voice at an acceptable level, whether in public or within closed doors, and you should be good to go.
Smile whenever you feel like it.
Thailand didn’t earn the title “Land of Smiles” for no reason.
Everywhere you go in Thailand, you will always be greeted with a smile. It would be polite to smile back, but you don’t have to force yourself. You can nod in acknowledgement and they’d be happy with that as well.
But if you do feel like cracking a smile, do it. You come across as more approachable, which is a big plus when impressing Thai women.
Connect with her culture.
This one’s a no brainer when it comes to Thai women. You’re on foreign ground — you can’t expect everyone to adjust to you. If you intend to stay long, adapting is the key. Better yet, immerse yourself in her culture.
Thailand doesn’t lack in the diversity and history department. There’s a lot of places to go around and new information to take in. The better you get to know her culture, the better you can understand and approach a Thai woman.
Don’t complain about your cultural differences.
Though Thai women are welcoming towards tourists and expats, they can get biased towards finicky people.
Making a fuss about how hot Thailand is or how bad the traffic is, you might as well slap yourself on the face — because you’re about to lose it. This is what Thai people consider embarrassing in terms of losing face.
If you have any concerns, it’s best to raise them politely. Better yet, come up with a solution like “How about we go to a mall to cool off?” or “Would you want to rest up before we head out?” It’s a lot more socially acceptable.
Acknowledging her family
When you are courting a Thai woman, it’s given that you make an appearance to her family.
It’s natural for them to get to know the person that their daughter is dating. You don’t even have to buy them a gift to win them over. If you treat them with respect, you’re solid in their eyes.
To them, how you respect other people beyond your partner is telling of your character. If you equally treat everyone with respect, they’ll be reassured that their daughter is in good hands.
Good luck in your romantic endeavors!
