    Hmm, i am a Dutch single.
    First stage is a bit of texting, but i do prefer videocalls or, just meeting with each other.
    I want to see what kind of person you are, and generally see are you a good person.
    But also are you interested in my life too.
    I would like to see she makes an effort too!
    I do not mind being a gentleman and pay the time we spend together.
    2nd stage in my point of views. We regularly meet each other romanticly.. see were we align with each other.
    And also in this stage i ask her that we can be exclusively with each other.
    Also in this stage i ask her te be my girlfriend.
    3rd stage. This is really just how we align with eachother.
    We could be moving in from 3-6 months up to several years.
    In this stage before moving in with each other.. we really really want to commit with each other.
    Because we have to make some big changes in our lives to combine our lives together.
    Work, house etcetera,
    4th stage after some time when you moved in, you ask her if you want to be engaged with each other.
    Then after a year or 2, you go for a marriage.

    I am Brazilian-italian , I have never asked a girl to go out for a date (not saying because I am proud of it but it has just never happened, I am kinda slow , that’s why I have always been anticipated by girls in asking that question) so it might be the perfect country from me lol 😂 . I guess it also happened because I am very choosy so it is very hard for me to ask for a date before having really realized that the girl Is good for me and I am good for her above all. But in general I don’t really like dates “the ones when you go out with a person you don’t know yet ”. I only like to date someone who I already know, usually it started more like a friendship and it later developed

    I have been a single/divorced male since 1992, had 2 kids both are married with kids (yep am a grandfather) from the USA Oklahoma and if in Netherlands my perfect date would be bike riding, stop for coffee tea something sweet to eat. More bike riding and if both agree, then make another bike riding date. How is that for you Dutch men?? As a date suggestion? FYI February 2024 I will be a happy healthy 70 years young/old. NOT KIDDING...go bike riding Dutch men with a woman...

    We are not romantic but practical.
    In most often the case, we wouldn´t want to date foreigners at all because our way of thinking will clash and therefore not wanting to waste any time to make it work.
    Dating within the Dutch culture is lets just say very formally average.
    And do not forget that Dutch people are very individualistic thinking too, as we love our own free time..

    I guess most of your video made sense until you mentioned friendgroups being seperate. Personaly I've always introduced people I was dating to my friends & family pretty early on, and most of my friends did the same. In fact I've been told by people of various different backgrounds that it was surprising how much friends are a part of the dating process. It's even been mentioned on several similar video's as this one... perhaps it's different when dating within or around the expat community or some other type of bubble.
    Also dating various peope at the same time is not really a regular thing either, if it is it at least has to be mentioned, but unless it's only been one date it's not at al normal to be dating other people, let alone sleeping with others.

      Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. If your or your friends' experience is different from what I described in the video, it only helps see how different people are. And it's so beautiful. :) As I said in the video: I only talk about my experience and what I've heard from others. There is no absolute truth, not in what I've said but also not in what you've shared.

      Because if you ask us something we will answer very bluntly, with as little sugarcoating as possible and with very little regard for how the answer makes you feel.
      We will also very bluntly tell you if we have an issue with something, and what we believe to be the solution.
      We also appreciate the same, (sometimes after the fact, because in the moment our feelings might get hurt as well. But in general we prefer to know where we stand)
      Not doing so and sugarcoating or being (by our standards) overly polite, to us, would be considered disingenuous or even slimy.

      ​@@QuinnQuell-yt3zm "But they can be creative and are definitly more spontaneous when it comes to dating". To me this sounds like a communication issue. If either one of you wants to see the other more you should be able to say it and with some luck they will feel the same way and things will progress faster. Just expecting more spontaneity from the guy without having mentioned it before (and I mean mentioning it, not vaguely hinting, we Dutch like the directness) will only end in disappointment.
      I like how it was mentioned in the video that most of these things that are precieved as 'different' are mainly based on equality and respect for the woman. Self reliance is a very big thing for many Dutch women and a decent man will respect that. Or so I've learned... 😊

    Clear she is living in 18th century....

  •  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Most of this video is nonsence.
    From the moment I make a date, I am careful about some details.
    An average young woman spends the night twice a month with a date minimum.
    So, now suppose she lives in Nijmegen and she studied there as well: means that she was there at least 5 years.
    When she selects a bar, you can be sure that you will see there many men with whom she
    had coffee early in the morning.
    So: big risk to be exchanged; known is safer than unknown.
    Better go to a different city; there are plenty in NL.
    Then: when she does not spend the first date night, I drop her, as she made up her mind not to spend any night with me. It happens--happily not too much.
    When sex is nice, and she is not a golddigger--as so many are-- I continue; but for what and how, depends on her, circumstances and so.
