Thai people have firm belief in their culture and convictions. During dating they do expect certain essential manners: the partner should be clean, nice-smelling, and dressed neatly. A date should not to talk with too many adjectives and should let emotions show up gradually and normally, not complaining or cribbing too much about any thing. A partner should not visit the other’s relatives if they do not want to continue relations as they do not want to lose face. A date should not show social superiority, nor attempt public demonstrations of affection. One should compliment the partner when it is deserved, appreciating other person’s shortcomings if any. A man should carry a woman’s bags and occasionally present small gifts for her parents too.
More advice: never be late for a meeting, do not go to a bar if it is a first meeting, do not ask for going to bed in first few meetings, do not make dirty jokes, do not be arrogant (to your date or to anyone else – for example don’t be arrogant to your waiter), and do not make vulgar displays of wealth. A man should not object if his date wishes to take her friend during first few meetings as she may take time to gain confidence in him.
Finally, the idea of ‘sanuk’ (fun) is central to Thai society and dominates the dating spirit. For Thai people, this part of life is probably the most cherished memory of their lifetimes.

For many Koreans dating is with one thing in mind: marriage. This is true for both parties, it seems. Upon meeting single Koreans (guys and gals), especially since I am married, I invariably get the request to introduce them to some nice person. It's quite flattering at first, but then you get to notice a pattern here.
Koreans are often introduced by friends, relatives and (in rarer cases now) matchmakers. They are so busy studying (when they're younger) and working (when they're older) that they have little chance to mix-and-mingle--and when they do go out on the town it is usually in same-sex groups or with relatives or co-workers (which, it seems, are off-limits).
If a date is one-on-one it is called a so-gay-ting (weird name) and if double ot triple dating it's called a mee-ting. Before a first date (or 5 minutes into one) each party will likely know the other's (i) graduation year and school (and job and title), (ii) birthday, (iii) family and religious background (including father's job), and likely (iv) salary and (v) goals. This is one of the few areas that Korea is extremely efficient in.
They usually meet at a trendy cafe and exchange vital information. After that, if things go well, future dates ensue. If not, that is it. Very matter-of-fact (and rather an oddity here, given Koreans penchant for high emotion--e.g., football matches). Parents then, usually, cover the wedding and help set up the couple and off they go to make a family.
