LoginWell, let this article serve as a guide to you on the proper dating etiquette in Singapore. Please note that this serves as a general guide and may not apply to all Singaporeans. Singaporeans, though modern, often hold a slightly different set of ideas when it comes to dating. Due to the Asian values that have been inculcated by families and institutions, most Singaporeans often adopt a careful approach to dating. Generally, in Singapore, it is acceptable to chat the member of the opposite sex up and subsequently exchange numbers. In Singapore, while it is more common for a man to make the first move, it is also acceptable and in some cases, liked if a woman makes the first move. Do not be surprised if you find yourself being rejected for bluntly asking a Singaporean out for a date in the first few minutes of meeting, when the only information they know about you is your name and your array of pick-up lines. Often, Singaporeans are more readily to accept dates after knowing a bit more about the person, be it a fellow local or an expat. In Singapore, the idea of going on dates often involves activities such as a meal, movies, clubbing, drinks, walks and lengthy conversation, amongst others. Do not be surprised if some of these dates are organised as group dates, which involves other couples, usually friends, together with you.
If you have ever gone out on a date, you probably already know the drill: just be yourself, wade through the dating pool, and see where it goes. For the most part, dating is a fun way to seek companionship in an often chaotic world. But sometimes, certain factors keep you from continuing your pursuit of love. Moving on from a past relationship is, of course, not an easy thing to do. If you no longer keep tabs on your ex, have their belongings, or compare every other person to them, it may be the right time for you to date again. But as any well-meaning friend would tell you, this will only do you more harm than good. This means recognising what went wrong in your past relationships and how to avoid or resolve them.

In the present day, Ms Candice Gallagher sports a nameplate necklace just like the fictional Carrie and does something similar — make TikTok videos on dating in Singapore. The Briton relocated here for work four years ago and is on a mission to go through 10 dating apps in 10 weeks in the hopes of finding her perfect man. She is now on week five — her Coffee Meets Bagel week. All her thoughts, feelings and dates are recorded on her TikTok channel candi. In the past month, she has met two men from the apps and gone on dates with another two she met through chance offline encounters.
