Thai ladies are monogamous, usually virgins and usually shy. During dating they are very sensitive to acts that may affect their reputation and status. Though, it may be changing now, very few Thai girls opt for discrete sexual experiences during dating. During the initial phase of dating, absolutely no going to bed, not even hugging tight, just close sitting or simple touching would do.
Touching while sitting close is a passionate expression, However, there would be no touching of legs (at least definitely not during the first dates), breasts or other private parts (including bottoms). Generally hands are held and clasped. In Thailand, the head area is considered very pious, you can not touch the head or hair of a lady against her wishes. A boy has to instill confidence in the lady that it is serious and not just flirting.
This phase is short, followed by a phase of gentle kissing on the cheeks, which continues for some time. In fact, if the couple sleeps together before marriage, it would be after the first few dates and after other relatives also get involved during dating meetings. Generally this happens, if it happens, very close to marriage. A typical length of dating, from the first date till marriage, would be from 9 months to a year and a half. Of course this varies widely.
Thai dating customs are largely coming out of the expectations in Thai society. Thai people expect a spouse to respect the partner’s family. In some ways, then, you do not just date your partner but practically the entire extended family. There are many expectations, financial and otherwise, that Thais have for someone who wishes to become part of the family, and some of these expectations reveal themselves in dating behavior.
In most Asian countries it is customary for young people to remain at home until they are married and often a newlywed couple will live with one set of parents for awhile after they are married.
Japanese and Korean individuals usually do not begin dating until they are in college.
In China, dating usually does not begin until an individual is in their twenties. Chinese singles usually only date one or two people before they get married. There are also still instances of arranged marriages. It's important to understand the difference between how men and women are raised in traditional Asian society, because it can affect your dating experience.
* Women are raised to be respectful of men and to defer to them in most matters. The woman's job in the relationship is to take care of the man's daily needs.
* Men are traditionally raised to be providers and to protect the women in their family. They will naturally take the lead in a relationship.
Family ties run deeply within Asian families, and even Americanized single Asians still get a lot of input on their dating partners from well-meaning parents. This means that when you date an Asian, you will likely be dating his or her parents to a certain extent. Expect to be thoroughly scrutinized, although it will be done respectfully. Parents want to be sure the person their child is dating is safe and suitable.
For your part, be sure to show respect for the feelings of your date's parents. This will assure them of your honorable intentions toward their child and will help smooth the path for further relationship development in case the two of you hit it off. I
