Dating a Thai Woman | Questions You Shouldn’t Ask

Learn how not to ruin your first date by learning what questions to avoid asking when dating a Thai woman.

So you’ve been dating a Thai woman online for some time now and you feel like you have good chemistry. The question is: will your online chemistry cross over to real life. The only way of knowing is to go on an actual date.

First dates are tricky business because you have to go through an awkward phase of feeling each other out. Even if you’ve already known each other through your computer or smartphone screens, it’s still a totally different ballgame when you’re already talking in person.

It is especially true when dating a foreign girl who may be used to a different dating dynamic. You have to be more mindful of your cultural differences and dating taboos.

To help you avoid putting your foot in your mouth, it helps to know what questions you should not ask during your date with Thai singles:

• “How come you’re still single?”

This may seem like a harmless question, but it could be taken the wrong way. Your date may think it’s an indirect way of asking what’s wrong with her. Contrary to popular belief, not all single people are lonely. Some of them even chose to remain single to fulfill their dreams first. Besides, isn’t it great she’s single in the first place? That means she’s available to go out on several dates with you.

• “How much money do you make?”

Never ask this question at all, but even more so when you are dating women in Thailand. This gives her the impression that you think she’s a gold digger. Leave all talk of money entirely during the date. That kind of question is more applicable when you’re about to take the next step in your relationship, like engagement or marriage. But for a first date, this topic is definitely a no-no. However, if it is important for you to know, try asking what she does for a living.

• “How many people have you been with?”

This is another question that’s particularly offensive to women. It’s not your business who she’s been with. More importantly, it should be up to her to let you know her romantic history. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter who she’s been with. What’s important is that she’s willing to give you a shot.

• Do you find me attractive?

This question is a bit redundant. The fact that she’s even willing to go out with you just shows that she’s attracted to you to a certain extent. Instead of figuring out her feelings towards you, you can try to impress her some more through the date. Perhaps at the end of it, she’d be more attracted to you.

Instead of asking these questions, your date would turn out better if you make an effort of getting to know and understanding a Thai woman better, especially in a romantic sense. So if you make the effort to really get to know her, there’s a chance for the date to be a success. You may even land that coveted second date.
