RE: Single and Looking for love? Try Online Dating + Tips for a successful (online)date
I met my ex-girlfriend on a dating app. It was a great relationship but we wanted different things. What scares me about dating apps or social media most, especially in my country of Malaysia, is that people don't know how to communicate on the streets anymore. No one knows how to be friendly and accepting to random social interactions. I find it a lot easier to meet people online than in person these days. A huge reverse culture shock for me coming back from the US
I also noticed in Indonesia, people are more attached to their phone than here in the Netherlands. In Indonesia when you speak to them, they keep looking at their phone(Facebook) rather than having eye contact with you. I can imagine the cultural shock. I believe the people in Asia are also more shy than Western people and afraid to have a conversation with a stranger on the streets.
