Brutal Cupid: Hong Kong’s Hellish Dating Culture

Since Hong Kongers still tend to be traditional as well as reserved, you should start to date someone in Hong Kong without actually dating them. In other words, begin your relationship with them as friends and hang out casually first. If you still wish to date them afterwards, ask them out and clarify romantic intentions this time. Like most Asians, Hong Kongers are primarily more conservative and date with the intent to marry. Of course, this does not apply to everyone, but it is still a good general rule to keep in mind whenever you think of approaching someone romantically. With conservatism and the intent to marry come slow-paced relationships and tight-knit connections. Since Hong Kongers prefer to get to know someone thoroughly before committing, you should expect to spend a lot of time together before things get official. In addition, most Hong Kongers tend to date within their circles or friend groups, so this is why you might want to try befriending someone first before asking them out. Most importantly, Hong Kongers abide by a culture centred on Confucianism and certain superstitions. As such, Hong Kongers will prioritise family and follow certain rules and concepts to avoid losing respect or attracting bad luck.

We ran a vibe check on sex & dating in Hong Kong

As with other practices, dating etiquette in Hong Kong regions differs from that of mainland China, as well as other countries around the globe. So if you intend to date someone from the region, a lack of knowledge about Hong Kong dating etiquette, culture, and social expectations can ruin your good intentions at the least. It can also make you appear as being rude or commit a cultural blunder. The international mindset that comes with its economic positioning has integrated the Western culture into Hong Kong society.
