Just like in other countries, Germans have their own set of etiquette when it comes to dating. In Germany there's equality between men and women. This also follows that men are likely to expect women to behave according to their status in the society which is why pretense is almost a taboo. It's better that women show their true selves because men are apt to render the appropriate treatment to women based on their comportment. Also, most of the time, men pay the bills.
Germans expect their dates to be truthful and respectful. This is the reason why Germans do not like
personal queries. Although in dating, both parties are entitled to know his or her date, there are limitations with regards to questioning. It is baseless to ask the guys if they like the dress of the ladies. It is also irritating for men to hear praises from women.
We might also say that most Germans like
very sublime dates. That doesn't always follow that dates be held in gourmet restaurants. Simply put, Germans like quiet time with their dates. This is because they pay more attention on the 'talk' rather than the food. Germans like serious topics like news, politics, foreign conventions, and news. Which is why Germans have more formal dates.
