A few friends and I have a running dialogue about the dating approaches/styles/expectations based on our cultural backgrounds. I’d love to hear everyone’s take on this question as well. Answers can be about PDA, showing initial interest or anything else that’s related to this question. (Let’s try to keep responses PG-R, ok?)

True, but in some cultures you can’t just do that (it’s still discouraged today), or physical contact holds less value in western dating communities (because we’re generally more casual about dating) than in many Eastern communities.

Interesting. My UK friends with parents from Eastern regions tend to live “a double life,” dating folks from work or school till their parents stress that it’s time to fall back to tradition and find “the one.”
Same in France and parts of the US with heavy Eastern communities. It’s a lot of pressure.

I'm not really sure what there is to discuss honestly. If I'm single and I am attracted to someone, I will simply go over and talk to her. If she's not interested then that isn't a problem!
There is no pre-conceived styles or expectations for that matter, just simply talking and see what, if anything happens from there!
Ahhhh I see what you're getting at now. The thing is England is a very diverse multicultural Country now, and the boundaries between Eastern, Middle Eastern and Western Cultures are as intertwined as they have ever been.
Less and less people care about how they will bring up children, until the point of marriage is talked about.
