1.

A. Asking

While it may be considered improper for a woman to ask a man on a date in some countries, that is not the case in the United State. lt's completely acceptable for either the man or woman to do the asking. The person who does the asking should pay for the date, unless the person asked insists on paying for herself while on the date.

B. Activities

Making a "date" commits you to doing something, such as going to a movie, going dancing or having dinner. In a college setting, you may be used to just "hanging out" with others. While sitting and talking is perfectly normal among platonic friends, on a date, you should plan on actually engaging in some enjoyable activities.

C. Follow-up

Having gone on a date does not obligate you to go on another date with that person or pursue a relationship. lf you do not want to go on a second date, simply turn him down politely. lf you did the asking the first time around, simply do not ask the person for a second date.

A. Dating for marriage

Chinese guys, under pressure from their parents, by-and-large date to marry. Men often take the initiative. Instead of asking a girl for a dating, they would ask her to be with him for the rest of his life. Compared to most of their Western counterparts, Chinese men start thinking about marriage much earlier in the relationship. So, if you're dating a Chinese guy,make sure to figure out what the both of you want out of the relationship so that you can manage expectations.

B. Taking relationships slowly

Chinese people don't often come out directly to express their intent. They're slow and spend a lot of time texting and talking to show their interest in someone. Physical intimacy comes pretty slowly if they are serious about dating.
