I am just thingking if I am going to date someone I meet online,(with chaperon and in crowded place of course,hehhee) but on second thought, cultural differences would make the relationship much harder to pull off. ( That is if its going smooth slowly). The cultural conflicts that may arise. Let's admit the fact that getting along with with his equal friends and family is an added pressure. :(. But then, men are all the same. They have a universal appeal, and it would be a great experience I guess to be exposed to a different culture.

Well thats an intesting question..i think that there's nothing wrong in dating with a foreigner..it has to be between two hearts and not between two different cultures and i think it really should be appreciated since in universe there's should be love between all and i think you surely can date your boyfriend who is from a crowded place and if he likes you can later become good life partners...happy mylotting.......

Why not?
I mean, its just a date and that's where you get to know each other and you would get to know more from each other as you continue, if consecutive dates do happen.
The more you get to know each other, the more you get aware of your cultural differences as well as make compromises with each other. If you have insecurities with their's, they would surely have their own insecurities with those of yours. (^_^ )

done it once and it lasted for 3 years..but still be careful..not all nationalities are kind and usually people you chat up with online are kinda pretentious..

I say it's not an easy one. If you decide to go through it then you better be strong and really decide to make it. Cultural difference is a big factor. I did not just date a foriegner. i married one and i say life is not that easy at all. Its definitely not a bed of roses. Maybe but with lots of thorns.

I'm dying to date a British girl! The accent alone is sooooo sexy! I don't know much about their culture though but i'm willing to learn and compromise to avoid some conflicts. I don't know but i love everything that's British.

whats the problem in that if two people are friends irrespective of they being from different cultures and countries.If both of them want to go for a date,no harm at all.yes definitely it would be a great experience to meet someone from other country.i wish i had the chance to meet my few online friends from abroad.

hi!i guess culture difference is not that big hindrance for you to meet other people out.There's nothing wrong going out with a foreigner as long as you do know each other..and you can get along together...I believe the date (though with a chaperon ;)) will help you to know better the person you will be going with at the end of the day. =) Just be yourself..and have much respect with the person you'll be dating..in regards to his own opinions and quite thinkings..and more than anything else..be sure to have fun with the new experince ;)

i won't mind.
i would say i'd keep my options open. why restrict yourself to a certain race?
but you're right to say that some cultural conflict may arise. i guess that would a time when the both of you get to truly understand each other.
people fight to understand each other better right. only after you see the bad and the ugly and STILL love the person will your relationship be stronger than all you see is the good and never see the bad or ugly.

i dont see anything wrong in dating a foreigner...actually it could turn out to be interesting bec for sure you would have a lot to talk about..since you have cutural differences you and your date can start from it in discovering each other...a date is a date!..there shouldnt be any preferences unless of course that you have a speceal reason....but as a whole dating a foreigner is just fine.
