The American way of dating is different from that in China. The reasons are as follows. To start with, the first step of asking for a date is different. It is similar that American and Chinese both ask for phone numbers and Facebook when they feel that they like the boy or the girl. However, Americans ask for phone numbers directly while Chinese prefer to get the information from their friends. Moreover, the ways of dates are also quite different. Although Americans and Chinese mostly choose to date in restaurants, parks, churches or tourist attractions, which is the same, but dating is never the same concept for American and Chinese. Americans date before having a relationship between each other. They consider that dating is just a step for knowing more about each other, so they do not take that serious. Conversely, Chinese people date after they have already formed a relationship. It also explains why Americans date with many people at the same time. In China, dating with more than one person in the same period of time is so bad because Chinese people are considered being in a relationship when two people hang out. Furthermore, there are some differences in date details. Take dating fees as an example. American and Chinese boys are expected to pay during dating. Americans tend to AA when they are not sure about forming a relationship. However, Chinese boys pay all the time. Considering all the differences, Americans and Chinese really have great differences in dating.
