Well then what do they want to talk about. ---

Nothing. Haven’t you seen Taiwanese couples at restaurants or cafes? They sit there and stare at their phones. The women are usually looking at photos or videos and the men are usually playing games. ---

They don’t want to talk…they want to DO They are waiting for you to invite them to go out and eat and have you buy little gifts for them and take them out again and again until they tire of you or you tire of them Conversation was never part of a grand plan ---

Yes 7 year anniversary for the TOMSter Wife and tomster went to a pricey seafood restaurant and she pulled out her phone and I whipped out mine (phone as well ) And then we did our thing On our phones until the food came I suggested maybe since everyone else was having a conversation we could perhaps pretend to be having one too? Nope not interested lol We were like couples married 40 years No , conversation was never what brought us together Not really sure what DID Maybe both us wanted to have a partner and we were each other’s only applicant ? What a thought but probably true ---

> [@tommy525](#): > > They are waiting for you to invite them to go out and eat and have you buy little gifts for them and take them out again and again until they tire of you or you tire of them Which raises the $64,000 question for dating in a place like Taiwan: what is your goal? Sure, there are a ton of lookers here, but if you’re trying to meet someone outgoing, with broad interests (who likes sharing them with a partner), and who enjoys a wide range of activities, my biased opinion is that this isn’t the greatest place to date. That’s not to say it isn’t possible. Some of us get lucky, but this type of personality is pretty unconventional as far as local standards are concerned, and the language and cultural barriers can make finding it even more difficult unless you speak good Chinese. ---

Be careful of “secret boyfriends”. I was skeptical when I read the thread about this earlier this year, but it has now happened to me twice in the span of two weeks on Tinder. If/when this happens, see if they can introduce you to one of their friends instead of just bailing on them or agreeing to do something shitty like help them cheat. This looks classy I think, and can potentially lead to meeting great girls that already see you as “approved of” (in at least a basic way) by their friend. ---

Well the reputation is that Tinder is a place for hookups, so I wouldn’t assume that everyone using it is really single. Sucks if you’re seeking a long-term relationship but a blessing perhaps if you’re just looking for some short-term fun. But asking a woman who had a “secret boyfriend” to hook you up with her friends for something more serious? Sort of like asking an unscrupulous used car dealer to refer you to another car dealer after he tried to rip you off. Always remember that birds of a feather flock together. ---

No, you definitely don’t ask her to help you find someone for something more serious. People draw the line in different places - many people are happy with not being in a serious relationship, but they do draw the line at helping people cheat. So yeah, I agree with your point 100% that you would not ask this already sketch character for a lead on a serious relationship lol ---

Sometimes the one that will stay with you comes to you when you don’t expect it And not when you are actively seeking The Bible I think said Seek and Yee Shall Find However Tommy’s corrollary says Don’t Seek and Yee Shall Be Found Sometimes you may be so earnestly seeking that you don’t realize someone around you has interest in you ---

Tinder could be useful. It all depends on what you want out of the dates. There are apps that the locals refer to as 約炮神器 (hookup tool), and other apps that focus on people looking for serious relationships. Usually, guys would have to pay for a subscription for those serious dating ups, and they tend to try to filter out escorts and other fake accounts. People still manage to fool the system, but those accounts would have their Line IDs written on their photos, so it’s super obvious. There are threads on this topic already. > [@Dating apps in Taiwan](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/dating-apps-in-taiwan/167884): > > I asked some Taiwanese friends about dating apps to meet local girls and he sent me a [link](https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/sex/M.1516373489.A.37F.html) to a forum where locals discuss which apps actually work here and I wanted to know your opinion. Have you used any of these? (My Chinese isn’t that good so here’s a summarized translation from my friend.) Tinder: 2/5 stars Free app. Lots of people from all countries but as a downside most girls won’t like back, reply to messages, or follow-up conversations.

Does anyone know which ones are popular in Taiwan? I’ve been trying to find data on usage rates in Taiwan, but not a lot of luck. I am also interested in anyone’s particular experience with this. I am looking more for infomation on dating apps than hookup apps. Also, to keep things generalized I am not looking into LGBT targeted apps.
