7 Rules of Dating in Spanish Culture (+Spanish Dating Apps)

This is the first post in my series about dating Latinos and how it differs from dating North Americans. I have never been big on dating. In some ways, I was lucky and often ended up with guy friends, thus skipping over the awkward dating phase. However, when my long-term relationship ended right before I moved to Argentina, my luck ran out. Not only was I back in the dating game after believing I would never have to date again — I was in Argentina. Dating Latinos is different than dating Americans in many ways.

It can be as simple as men believing they should always pay and take care of their families, or it can be as extreme as treating women like second-class citizens. As a super independent American girl, I like to earn my own money, pay for my own things, voice my opinion, and basically do anything a man can do, should I so desire. I am also not overly romantic, so being doted on is not really my thing most of the time.

13 Culturally Important Things to Know When Dating a Latina + Myths Debunked

When I was 18 years old I used to believe there is no way one could ever date successfully a person from a different culture. Now the reality is as the world is becoming increasingly borderless intercultural, inter-racial couples are on the way of becoming the norm and that is in my opinion a great thing. I think we should never segregate ourselves based on race, religion, nationality, culture nor any media, family or peer influenced limitations other than choosing the person that genuinely makes us happy.
