Maintaining a Long-Distance Relationship from Afar

When you meet someone that you like, it can be a really exciting time filled with fun, butterflies and looking forward to time spent together.

However, when you meet someone who lives a long distance away from you – even split by oceans or borders – it can be challenging to get to know someone or even maintain a relationship when you aren’t able to see each other regularly, share intimate moments or even communicate in person as often as you’d like.

But with technology and a little thinking ahead, you can work to overcome these challenges and give a long-distance relationship a fair shot.  Read on for more.

Be realistic

In a cross-cultural relationship, it is a good idea to be upfront and honest with your love interest. This includes how you feel about him or her, what your goals and desires are, what you are and are not looking for in a relationship as well as future hopes – this includes whether marriage is your end goal.

First, this ensures you both are on the same page. If you are not, there may be no need to put in the time, work and planning of the relationship. If you are, then keep reading.

Plan ahead

Making plans for travel – whether you flying to see your partner or them flying to see you – is key. However, traveling abroad takes time, money and effort. So, it is important to talk about travel schedules and plan weeks and even months in advance. This helps ensure the time together will happen.

Mix it up

Of course, with FaceTime, ZOOM and the litany of other video apps, you can see and talk to your partner remotely. However, it can be exciting to think of other ways to stay in touch or stay fun and flirty.

You could send flowers, candy or even a hand-written letter to show your person you are thinking of them. Simply thinking outside of the box can go a long way to keeping things exciting with your partner.

Celebrating multiculturalism in love

In today’s world, it is common to explore love and relationship potential from outside of your own background or culture. But you should have a grasp on etiquette and ways to navigate differences.

First, seek to understand and support. Being sensitive to your partner’s feelings and taking an avid role in understand his or her background and heritage is a great first step. And also know the things that may upset or offend your partner.

Prepping for a Great First Date

Maybe you’ve just gotten acquainted with Meet Hong Kong Singles…and, alas, you have lined up your first date with a potential love interest.

Congratulations!

Now is the time – as your first date approaches – to think about ways to be prepared and to try to make your first date the best it can be.

Keep reading for more tips!

A plan in place

Whether you are meeting in person or even remotely via FaceTime, ZOOM or another video call, first think head for a plan.

For example, choose a day and time when you know you’ll be free from distractions and able to relax and get to know your date. The last thing anyone wants is for their date to be distracted with call, texts or even stress.

Take time to decompress and get in a good state of mind before you meet. And put your phone on Do Not Disturb.

Keep it light

While it is normal to have first-date jitters, especially when it comes to striking up and keeping up a conversation, try to be as natural as possible with the chatting.

Though you may have a list of questions or topics in mind of which you’d like to explore both to get to know someone and to share about yourself, be careful of rattling of too many questions in a row.

Also, be cautious of telling too many “ex” stories or dating disasters.

After all, first dates should be light and breezy…not a full-on interview. Plus, it can be fun to let the conversation take interesting tangents.

Exit strategy

For most, the goal is that the date goes so well that you can’t stop talking and even continue on past the timeframe expected. However, when that’s not the case, you should have a polite way to end the date.

If in public, you may wish to hold off on sharing too much – and simply say you have to get going and will touch base later. Then, via call or text, you can later share that you feel the date ran its course and wish the other person well.

On the other hand, if you do have to be somewhere but the date is, in fact, going well, you may want to suggest setting up the next date right away or via phone later that evening or the next day. This ensures your date knows you had a great time and want to do it again.

Travel Tips for New Couples

Love knows no boundaries and when you finally find someone you connect with—you shouldn’t be held back by distance.

Meet Hong Kong Singles is a place where likeminded people can meet and get to know each other in a safe space. And many have met their match here.

But for new couples, travel to see each other may be in the cards. Here are some travel tips to optimize dating travel early on.

Long distance love

Whether separated by a short or long distance logistically, couples can make the most of planning their time together by thinking ahead about logistics.

Sometimes this means traveling to the other person, meeting in the middle or even exploring a whole new place for the first time together.

Regardless, first and foremost, you should decide together when the first meet up or getaway will be. This can look different for everyone and there is no hard and fast rule.

Perhaps you’ve been talking on the phone and Facetiming regularly to get to know each other. Before setting a date to meet, you should be sure you know your partner well enough to meet up in person and that you are interested in this person.

Some dating experts believe that could mean a few weeks to a few months.

You should also have an understanding of budgets and who plans to travel to whom, as there are costs associated with travel – whether by car or air.

Likewise, you should also plan budgeting if you are meeting in the middle for a fun getaway or vacation – as this likely means travel and hotel expenses, along with dining and activities.

Talk openly about what you can afford and who will pay for what or if you will each pay your own expenses.

You may wish to keep meet ups early on to just a few days. That way, if things turn sour, you are not stuck somewhere or with someone for a week or more.

And it is wise to always have a backup plan in case you’d like to leave early.

And finally, consider group travel. Bringing a friend or another couple can often provide peace of mind, especially early on, when you are still getting to know someone.

The truth is, with open and honest communication and realistic expectations that are properly planned out, you can rest easy ahead of and during your trip/visit.

A Dating Profile that Stands Out

Have you decided you’re ready to find love and hit the ground running with Meet Hong Kong Singles? That’s great.

The first step is creating your dating profile.

But are there any best practices and how do you make it stand out? We have you covered.

Read on for more.

Putting your best face forward

Though dating profiles can be subjective, there are some tried and true tips you may want to consider when creating yours.

First, use a high-quality profile photo of yourself. Something flattering that shows your face and has good lighting. Be careful not to over-filter – authenticity is key.

Next, be real. Avoid making your dating profile look or sound like a job interview or a resume. Be light and have fun with it! And share your interests, personality and preferences honestly.

It’s also important to check your spelling and grammar. Don’t rush through the profile and make sure your thoughts are thoroughly written.

Further, when it comes time to interact with possible matches, be honest, but keep it light in the beginning. Getting to know someone takes time online just as it does in person. And if you are not interested, it is polite to articulate that rather than simply vanishing.

And finally, be honest with what you’re looking for – both in your profile and your chats. After all, it isn’t doing you any good to match with someone with whom who you don’t have common interests with or wouldn’t see a future. So, self-reflection is also key before typing away.

Authenticity in your Dating Profile: Tips and Best Practices

If you’ve landed here, chances are you are a western man or woman seeking out a Hong Kong partner. If so, you’re in the right place.

Online dating has become a norm not just in Hong Kong, but nearly worldwide. A huge benefit when opening up options for dating!

But you may wonder how to make your online dating profile a true representation of yourself and how to put your best foot forward. Keep reading for expert tips on maintaining authenticity in your dating profile.

Your best and truest face

It’s key to select good profile photos for your online dating profile. This is what potential partners see first.

But you also want to be sure you are authentic in your appearance…so be sure not to add filters. This doesn’t mean do not use good lighting, though. Outdoor natural light can be a good idea or even well-lit indoor space.

You may wish to show yourself doing something you enjoy, such as hiking or biking, or even with a pet. These all tell the story of you. Be sure to only use pictures from the past year so that they are the truest representation of yourself.

Honesty in responses

Also, be sure to be very upfront about what you’re looking for, activities you enjoy and your life in general. No need to beat around the bush when it comes to finding a good match.

If you are an avid traveler, you can mention that. But if you haven’t done a particular activity in years, you may not wish to include that as a hobby. Also, don’t be afraid to be succinct in your profile. Details are great, but you can leave some information to share when you get to know someone.

You may even consider having a friend look over your profile and share with you what they feel your best qualities are. This can provide fresh perspective.

First Date

Where should you go on a first date?

When you’ve met someone whom you like and you’re ready to take the next step and meet in person, you may wonder where a first date should happen.

A first date is a big deal, and some thought should be put into it. Fortunately, we have some tips to make planning the big moment easier.

A first date that counts

After getting to know your new love interest, it’s likely you have a pulse on some of their likes and interest when it comes to activities and cuisine. As such, you can use this information to plan an unforgettable time.

If you would like to do a full dinner and cocktail evening, be sure to make a reservation so that you are ensured a table. If you do not want to commit to a long dinner, and simply wish to do cocktails, it’s a good idea to have a few places in mind in case there are any unexpected obstacles.

If you want to keep things more casual, you may opt for coffee or tea. If this is the case, consider a coffee shop that is somewhat quiet and not incredibly busy. You don’t want a litany of distractions while talking or to have a hard time hear one another due to background noise.

For those who wish to get more creative, you may want to choose an activity. A hike is always relaxing and calm. But for those who wish for more excitement, you may want to plan a different event – like an arcade, a museum, a sporting event or even karaoke.

You may even consider something like an intimate picnic in the park or stargazing in the evening.

The important thing is that you both enjoy the activity and are on board with it.

And, as always, it’s key to set guidelines with first dates. Such as timeframe, transportation and even having an option to leave if you are not feeling the chemistry. And meeting in public is also a good idea, especially early on

Travel Tips for New Relationships

When you are getting to know someone and things are going well, it’s only natural to want to see exciting places together.

But when a relationship or dating situation is relatively new, you may want to take a planned-out approach. After all, traveling with someone allows you to quickly understand each other’s habits, preferences and even quirks.

And while it’s a good opportunity to sense whether you are compatible, it can also be a bit nerve wracking. 

Whether you are a single person living in the U.S., U.K., Canada or Australia looking to find love with a likeminded person from Hong Kong, or if you are a Hong Kong native dating someone from other areas on the map, keep reading for more expert tips to consider when traveling with a new love interest.

Plan ahead

Perhaps most importantly, you should take the time to plan out your travels in detail with your love interest.

Get to know his or her interests in where you’re going, the types of activities and sightseeing they’d like to do and even the type of cuisine they prefer. Then you’ll be able to better map out your travels in a way where you both enjoy the experience to the fullest.

Discuss details

It’s important to lay out a budget and what each of you are willing to spend on the trip. You may wish to discuss who pays for which things – from the room to the airfare to dinners – or if you’ll be splitting the cost equally. This can help deter any uncomfortable situations before they arise.

Keep it short

When you’re traveling with someone for the first time, you may consider keeping the trip to just a few days rather than a drawn out week-long or more vacation. This way, if things do not go how you’d like, you are not left in an awkward situation for an extended duration.

Intimacy discussion

And though it may not be the most comfortable talk, it is important to understand each other’s expectations when it comes to intimacy. And respect boundaries…even if that means staying in separate rooms.

Give love a chance!

If you’re ready to take control of your desire to meet a romantic partner, life partner or spouse, we are here for you.

Meet Hong Kong Singles is your online dating destination to meet likeminded, career and goal-oriented individuals like you.

When is the Right Time for “the Talk?”

Perhaps you’ve been dating someone – and it’s going well. Great! Maybe it’s been a few weeks or even a few months. Either way, when you feel that it is someone special, you may be wondering when the right time for a discussion about where the relationship stands is.

For some, this can be a very natural conversation, but for others, it may not come so naturally and may even be stressful.

While “the talk” is a routine part of most relationships, we have some tips for you if you are wondering how and when to initiate the conversation.

Read on for more.

Some helpful guidelines

When it come to the talk about where a relationship stands and whether or not you and your partner are exclusive, it can be relative and dependent on the uniqueness of each relationship.

However, here are some basic guidelines you can adhere to.

Focus on how you feel – not necessarily the timeline.

Some say that three months is a good marker of when to have the talk. However, truly, it’s about what you feel in your mind and gut and how you feel your partner may perceive the relationship.

Getting clarity

If you are finding yourself needing clarity or unsure about where things stand, it could indicate it’s a good time to have the talk. Likewise, if there are inconsistencies with expectations or effort, or even time spent together, you may wish to clarify things.

Word of caution

It’s important to note that rushing into the conversation about the relationship status is not always a good idea. You should get to know your partner, and vice versa, before having the talk. Approaching this too soon may bring an adverse effect.

The talk itself

When you do sit down and discuss the relationship, asking questions like, “Where do you see this going” and “Are we exclusive?” can be good jumping off points. Don’t forget to be a good listener and prepare for any outcome.

Get on the path to love

Meet Hong Kong Singles takes the guess work out of dating…saving you time and helping you connect with the best matches for you.

The simple and streamlined platform lets you put your best foot forward and start meeting likeminded singles right away.

Video Dating: Dos, Don’ts and Etiquette

In a progressive and post-Covid world, people are using video technology more than ever. This is often for personal and professional purposes, convenience, ease and efficiency.

Video dating has come a long way since years past and many people prefer to get to know someone via video prior to meeting or deciding whether or not to meet in person…regardless of distance.

Video options are an especially good thing when it comes to dating. After all, why should you limit your options for potential relationships to a certain radius? Sometimes kindred souls are located countries away – just waiting to be united.

If you are new to dating long distance or simply wish to brush up on some expert advice to put your best face forward on video, keep reading for some quick tips and best practices when it comes to video dating.

Video dating 101

If there’s anything technology teaches us, it’s that nearly anything is possible remotely. Countless people work in remote settings for clients and employers across the globe…why should one’s personal life be limited to in-person meetings?

But is there a right and wrong way when it comes to video dating? Not necessarily. But there are tried and true tips you can utilize to put your best face forward.

Background and ambiance

It is key to use an area with good lighting for your video chat. For example, someplace well-lit, even natural lighting as well as other lighting that is flattering. When using lamps or artificial light, be sure not to place it right behind or above you, as this can look harsh. LED lighting works well.

Consider a background or wall with some interesting pieces, like art or books. Try not to his can be a great way to spark up conversation topics!

Look your best

While it may be tempting to just put on your best top and stay in sweatpants on the bottom, you never know if you’ll have to unexpectedly hop out of your chair to get the door, tend to the dog or something else. Not to mention, you will likely feel better when you look the part head to toe! Choose something comfortable and flattering.

Get to know each other – just a like a real date

Just because you are meeting up on video doesn’t mean you cannot still get to know the other person just as well. As such, try to come prepared.

This could mean a list of lighthearted, fun questions to ask your date or even a game that you download on your phone ahead of time to play together.

You need not be limited by distance – you can still make the most of your date remotely…just get a little creative!
