Summary

Buckle up as we're about to embark on a trip around the world to find out what it's like to date when you're the one immersed in a new culture. We're chatting with Kat about her experience dating (and finding love!) in Brazil and Andy, who has been living (and dating) in Sweden & Germany as ex-pats from the US. And then we'll hear from Ai about the culture shock she experienced when dating in the US coming from Japan. We're discussing how dating "works" in different cultures, what it's like to date someone who speaks another language, and how much our culture impacts how we date and find love.

0:00.0	Hi I'm Ew H.U. And I'm Julie Craftchick. We're active daters turn dating sociologists.
0:05.6	Here to dive into everything modern dating and relationships.
0:09.1	Welcome to the dateable podcast.
0:11.1	Hi friends, welcome back.
0:16.0	Here's a fantasy for you during COVID.
0:18.5	How many of you thought about moving to a different country, dating someone there, falling in love, and then staying in that country.

1:28.0	you know, like the DTR combo?
1:30.0	And then just one day he's made it very clear that I was the only person he was seeing but it wasn't in the DTR
1:36.4	Typical way at all it was just like oh yeah, this is so matter of fact like it didn't even cross his mind
