How To Date Your Crush Who Is Not Living In Your Country

It is time for Valentine's day again! So this post will give you not only advice about the best valentine gifts or valentine ideas but also how to date a girl or boy who is not coming from your country. When dating people from all around the world it can open up your eyes and you can learn a lot of new stuff. Whether it is in the university, while studying abroad or in multicultural cities like New York. Some of the advantages can be for example to learn a new language with your boy- or girlfriend. It can be Chinese, Turkish or German. Nothing can be better to learn a new language with your crush. But most important is to learn new different cultures including the food, the music and the celebrations (just compare a wedding in Great Britain with a wedding in Mexico....you can't!). Even the dating behaviour of different countries can be so difficult to understand that it is important to know the most common dating facts from different countries:

1. France

France is a country where a conventional date is not in common like in other countries. However couples become lovers and are developing their relationships in a less formal way. A French cheese, wine and baguette under the Eiffel Tower is enough. That can be a great idea for Valentine's day, too!

2. Netherlands

3. Italy

4. India

A boy must at least spend twice the amount of money then the girl on "Valentine's Day".
