Dating customs in australia

Why don’t Australian men know how to date?

Dating in Australia is pretty similar to dating in other Western countries. However, Australians do tend to be laid-back, a little bit more informal, and might use coarse language, which may be different from what you are used to, depending on your own home country. As with many places, online dating has become increasingly popular, and many Aussies turn to apps to connect with potential dates and partners. Australian dating culture shares a lot with other Western countries, but there are also some unique differences that reflect the country's egalitarian values and laid-back lifestyle. If you've used apps in other countries where casual dating is the norm, you're unlikely to come across anything earth-shatteringly different.

Australia is a nation of immigrants, so you would think it should be easy for travelers to integrate into the culture. We talked with many locals and international students living Down Under, to hear their thoughts on the Australian dating culture. Outgoing, independent, casual, brave and witty. The frontiersman attitude is strong in them. Never ask for an opinion, unless you want brutal honesty… The language is colourful, swearing is part of the vocabulary, and what sounds like insults are commonly used in jest or in friendship. Just like in many other Western countries there are no strict rules when it comes to initiating a relationship. Aussies are pretty open, and no gender-specific things there.

When I found myself single a few years ago, I did what any newly single lady would do. I rewatched Sex and the City , I downloaded Tinder and I prepared myself to meet a bevy of eligible bachelors — it was my Carrie Bradshaw moment. Just replace heels with Birkenstocks and designer clothes with thrift shop finds. I pictured myself spending flirty nights at bars and romantic evenings at quirky but dimly lit restaurants , you know, living my best life. Trying is reserved for serious girlfriends and anniversaries, not first, second or even third dates. Instead, your meetups will be approached casually and involve little effort on their part.
