Today, we live in a multicultural society with so many people speaking very many different languages. This is very much in contrast to say other parts of the world say China or India where the language itself may have dialects but there is usually a predominant one which most people speak and understand. USA is a melting pot of many cultures and though English is the first language, there are many other spoken languages at work here. The English language itself has been turned upside down and we are now finding that we sometimes don’t even understand the English people! The result of the infusion of people from differing cultures has brought about some interesting dialects and interesting usage of the English language spoken by people whose first language is not English. Since the dating game in USA has many crossbreeds of people mixing and working together there is bound to be some communication issues. Here are some essential tips when you come across dates that don’t have English as their first language.

Apart from the obvious pronunciation difficulty of some words, there is a tendency for people to apply the English as spoken in their own natural language. For example they may say the action words first and then the person doing it ie. “he is doing it”, turns to “doing it is he”. This is much like the Yoda character in Star Wars where he would say things like ‘Decide you must, how to serve them best’. The general advice when you do come across your date mincing those words is to smile and be amused. If your date is a woman then you may go as far to say it’s a very likeable quality. Language is a funny thing and we have many people who are self-conscious of the way they speak especially if the person finds that other people to be ridiculing them whenever they speak. Unfortunately, the birth of the English Language which is the United Kingdom is often a culprit to this kind of profiling. However, over time as racial integration kicked in more people are now open to the nuances of the language as spoken by people of different cultures.

We have reported in earlier posts about the big deal that many dating sites make regarding the algorithms that they employ to find your best matches. Although, we at Jumpdates feel that these can be useful aids to some online daters to find compatible matches, we do not think that they are the ‘holy grail’ to your compatible match.

Are the compatibility figures in online dating sites a myth or a fact

We have covered many posts on the innate nature of human beings when it comes to relationships, marriage, gender differences and the many unique qualities that make all of us different. In addition to the complexity of each individual, add the unique relationship of the two individuals on top of this and we end up with an exceptionally intricate ‘union’ that cannot be determined through quantitative analysis alone.

We also know that human beings also have an innate ability to change within, so how does that ‘impact’ the relationship. Most likely, it will throw a curveball in the entire relationship in the eyes of your partner and the relationship will need adapting to. There are just too many factors for online dating sites to claim they have a perfect system with regards to compatibility, it’s just not possible.

What dating sites can work towards instead, is to promote and ‘open’ the eyes of members to greater possibilities. Provide them with the necessary tools for them to locate the partner they are looking for and let them decide what will work for them. Dating sites by all means will always provide an excellent platform to engage many singletons together to find their meaningful relationship and this will continue to grow for years to come. However, we should all be realistic to how far we can really pair up couples since this communion can only be really understood by the couples themselves.

Online singles always find themselves in situations where they cannot decide when to tie the knot and exchange wedding vows with their long time dating partner. There are plenty of reasons for this like do you are not in a sound financial situation, not prepared to take on social and family responsibilities or not able to come to a conclusion whether your other half is the perfect partner for life.

These are all the valid concerns of online singles but, if you are dating some one from a long time say for more than one year and want to see if both of you have good chemistry and dating more than a few weeks is not sufficient.

Nowadays both males and females are working and running a healthy married life in all aspects and is shared by both partners. There can be a possibility that one dating partner won’t be able to satisfy all the financial needs but both dating partners together certainly can.

One of most difficult hurdle is that mentally we are not prepared for social and family responsibilities. There are a very few who can help dating couples in this situation, the couple needs to sit down and discuss and communicate to each other their thoughts on these important matters of long-term partnership and this may help with making good decisions for the future.

Have you ever thought about the frequency of dates you are having with your dating partner? This could have much bearing on your relationship and give you deep insights into your partner’s thoughts and values. Prior to the dates you were most likely a singleton with tons of time in your hands and now all of a sudden you are pulled into a whirlwind of romantic dates.

The ‘Happiness Factor’ in Dating

Most of us will not consider the sudden transition that often takes place especially if the partner you are dating is to your liking and looks like long-term potential. You may argue that this could be in some ways good or bad but the fact is that we have a strict ‘happiness factor’ in our lives that moves us in certain directions. The problem is that along with the high ‘happiness factor’ we could also land with a thud when something in the future goes out of tune or whack and when we are least prepared.

Again, the question is can we always rely on our basic instincts and judgements to carry us forwards or should we be aware of the rapid changes that is happening all around us. It is a good question and one that needs careful thought since the ‘happiness factor’ is at play here. The irony of this issue is that the ‘happiness factor’ can often be in conflict with your sensory perceptions of instinct that is used for survival factors. It is probably the main culprit in our conflicting opinions and views when it comes to gender differences (please read our previous post on this hot topic).

Without being too serious and making your day a dull one, lets end the post on a happy note. The ‘happiness factor’ is a prime driving force in all of us, but just remember that in the same way when you step onto the road and suddenly a car blasts past you, your instinct takes over and saves your life. Your instincts will be a better judge of steering you through the maze of dangers and pitfalls and to keep and maintain your ‘happiness factor’ at an elevated high.
