what's interesting for me is number four take a risk by speaking up your mind .And i liked what she said about being honest and saying what you feel. what's funny is the flirty handshake. nothing was strange.
ReplyDeletein the second articl this statment ", I’m always astonished how someone will walk on to a crowded, irritatingly close area without allowing it to thin out a bit" is strange to me ,because most people don't do that in saudi arabia to show respect.
In first article was interesting, but the fact is that we don't have in our culture boyfriend / girlfriend, however, we can use this kind of strategy during the engagement time. Especially, the part that was mentioned about honesty and taking the risk by speaking your mind and making things clear for both side.
ReplyDeleteIn the second article, I will talk about myself; there is "subtle" or no much difference between what I have read and Saudis attitude when they are using the elevators.
In the first article, I am really interested in "the flirty handshake". It sounds very strange to me. In Vietnam, we don't shake hands in the end of a date. Shaking hands is too formal to develop a new relationship between men and women. However, eye contact seems to be the most important thing to attract each other on a date.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in ＇Take a risk by speaking your mind＇,
ReplyDeleteI think this is about culture problem. Chinese people always don't like say directly what they are thinking. They often say something opposite.for example,
An American girl asked me that if I would like to eat her pizza. in fact, I am really hungry, but I didn't say "yes", I said "no", and I was waiting her second asking, then i would say "yes"-----this was called humility. however, the American girl just LEFT.
I am very enjoy American style like that. like something just "yes". don't like something just say"no".
I am interested in the flirty handshake that the author recommended to do at the end of first date. Actually, shaking hands is too formal for Vietnamese people to do in the relationship but in the business. In fact, we don't usually date with someone we don't know before so it isn't complicated to end a date with another plan follow up. In addition, saying what we feel is also a good suggestion. Be ourselves is always great to develop a relationship.
ReplyDeleteDoing the Flirty Handshake and speaking up our mind are the most interesting things that i read in the first article.I think that in my country, women appreciate men who take their time during the first date.They would like men to do the handshake and maybe expect a kiss at the second or third date.The most important for Cameroonian women is to be sincere and to be honest during a date...
ReplyDeleteThe article 2 says to be polite and good-mannered in a confined places..It is also advised to let people get out before entering in those areas.The funniest thing is that in my country it is completely the opposite.People fight to enter and exit and get pushed.
I just want to start by mentioning that every culture has it own style and way in dating, especially my culture. However, I'm interested in two points in the first article. First one is, the flirty handshake. the close in the first date is super important in order to have the chance for a second date. According to the article " if you are looking for a second date, the flirting handshake works like charm." So, that means handshake with certain movements will lead to another date. Second one is, speaking your mind. Being honest and say what u feel usually lead for a second date if your date is feeling the same.
ReplyDeleteIn the second article, it's interesting to know that we should allow anyone wants to go out from elevator to go first. Then, we can enter in order to avoid any touch or bump with someone. In addition, according to the article "men, hold the door for the ladies." I think because it's either they are being gentle, or they want to follow the famous expression " ladies first".
I am interested in deploy the flirty handshake in the first article. I never know that handshake conveys a lot of meanings especially for the love. I believe this will not happen on me, because I married. Anyway I had better learn this just in case someone wants to date with me. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is true that cultures are different but they have similarities too. I think the most interesting point in the first article was the first point because it is the key of the rest of the story. On the first date is essential that there be a lot of high points because that means both people had a great time and therefore, they may expect to meet a second time.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say something about the second article, i think taking a risk by speaking your mind, according to my culture women would love appreciate the fact that men take their time for the first date. In my culture we usually kiss women at the first date and they love it. The most important is to behave properly, that will help you to get another date.
ReplyDeleteFor the first article what is interesting for me is flirty handshake. Its very strange and funny for Thai people to do in their date if they do handshake cause its too formal. However in my country kiss is not the proper thing to do in the first date or second date too.
ReplyDeleteFor the second article i think "manners dictate that a man holds a door, offers her to enter first and to give up his seat." is interesting. I like it ! A man should be gentleman :) It is a duty for every guys to take care every women.
I don't know. But I felt strange when I was reading the flirty handshake part of the first article. Because I don't know how to end a date in my country, but the only thing I know is that most of us won't end a date with a handshaking.
ReplyDeleteFor the first articl, I astonish for me that men may hesitate to invite women for date or to tell them that they like and enjoy the time with them. Iam not suprized about women to be hesitate but suprized about men. Also, It is supriz that people could be hesitate to tell that they enjoy the time and they want to meet again. In my country, generaly in visity even if we hate the person we are going to say in the end of the meeting , we enjoy the time with you, please do not forget us and keep in touch, we are looking for another day to spend with you.
