Is interesting however to see how our own cultures impact the way we perceive love and dating particularly. And while dating someone raised in a completely different culture can be the most enriching experience it comes with many challenges as you go deeper into the relationship and realize how the person has such a different perspective of life, of certain habits, view of relationships, values of family, traditions, manners, food and the list goes on. That is why I always jokingly say, nobody cares to meet an international etiquette consultant until the day they have to meet the parents of their loved one.

Indeed, love seems to be a universal concept found in any culture throughout history. That is why it makes love stories so popular and timeless that it works pretty much anytime and anywhere in the world, right? Even though we are way past the era of the Renaissance, Romeo and Juliet's forbidden love and their heartbreak are transcendent.
