3. Do not be condescending.

4. Be curious, but elegantly so. Asking person from Turkey if they feel sorry for the genocide against Armenia is not only insensitive but makes you look like a cad. Stick to history, geography, people, festivals and major customs. Conversely, be aware of your own culture's main points.

6. eye decorum required by your date's culture. This does not mean you need to dress like them - e.g. Women from positive sects of Islam cover their hair.

Either way, while speaking in other tongues is a personal choice, I would result a normal rule to avoid it, except to greet person in their language. Most habitancy are pleased to be greeted in their native language.

8. Most cultures have dietary restrictions. When provocative your date, be sure you are aware of these.

In other words, avoid dating orthodox individuals. You can find this out by Asking some normal questions. A usual give-away is diet and dress. If you theorize that your date is very precise about both, avoid him/her unless of procedure you yourself are orthodox. Even in that case, you may run into a clash, if not with your date, with his friends and family.

10. Last but not least, be cautious about provocative families on Either side till you have a accepted insight of your date's cultural standing and value system. By that I mean, in addition to orthodox practices, is there a bias against your religion or culture? Keep the dating casual until you are both very comfortable in the cross culture companionship.
