Tips for Dating Abroad


By Alicia Cruz

We all know what's going on in other parts of the world -- good, bad or indifferent.

Traveling abroad can be either an exciting adventure, a big hot mess, downright dangerous or even land you on the next episode of "Locked up Abroad," if you're not careful.

It's always good to do a little research on the country you plan to visit -- especially if you are going alone. Thanks to Amanda
Chatel, Relationships reporter for Frisky.com, she gives you loads of advice you should heed before heading off on your overseas vacation or business trip, especially if you plan to delve in the dating world while there.

Below are two of tips Chatel offers in her latest article: "How To Pick Up A Guy When You’re In A Foreign Country And Barely Speak The Same Language"

Feel out other cultures. When it comes to sex (or love) other cultures roll with it differently. Some places are far more free-spirited, while others are buttoned-up and prudish. It’s important to be aware of which way the particular country you’re in works. What you might think is a great come-on, just may be truly offensive to someone else – and then you’ve blow your chances to get laid.

Lay off the alcohol. Most Americans I know can drink like it’s going out of style. The tolerance I’ve witnessed in my friends is both astonishing and terrifying. However, when you get outside the U.S. you realize that – gasp! – some countries do not get “wasted” the way we do. In fact, and you might be shocked, getting plastered on a Friday night and ending up in a one-night stand isn’t exactly how things go in other parts of the world. So drink casually and slowly when you’re trying to loosen up, instead of reaching for a line of shots. Also, no one wants to stumble out of a bar in Barcelona at 4 a.m. so drunk they can’t find their way home. Bad call.   FULL ARTICLE
