Being half an hour late for a date is disrespectful. 5 minutes late is ok but dont aim to be late.

[@littleminion5433]

Thats literally everywhere its not unique to Australia 😂

[@lachlanaulich3566]

My dad was actually late to his first date with my mum at a restaurant by about an hour or so because of a horse he was shoeing, safe to say my mum fed his food to the dog

I started to watch your channel as soon as I learned my granddaughter applied for teaching position in Melbourne which was a year ago. She is there on 2 year visa since September. Loves it. She met another teacher on internet from another school not far from her. Looks like a great match. Same interests etc. He is Australian. I learned so much from your channel and gave her so many tips from you as she had very little time to watch KZbin. Thank you. 😀👍😍

[@livingsimplyaustralia]

That's so nice to hear! Thank you for letting me know! And hope she's having an amazing time here :)

[@encara1]

Thank you ,thank you for this video. At the end of next year I will be living in Australia. I needed a heads up on this topic ! 🎉🎉

[@dragonite87]

What's it like to date in Australia? Shit, in my experience. I mean, the dates themselves that I've been on have been okay but rarely does it go any further for me. Because either were looking for different things or the chemistry just wasn't there or something. I've hoped to meet women by doing things I enjoy, like hiking, but it doesn't happen. They just don't see me that way. And that's ok. It wouldn't occur to me to go into a pub/bar/club and just approach random women, be because they might be like "Who the fuck are you?". Apps are shit because I have to put so much time into it to get any interest from women. I've tried speed dating and I didn't mind it but it hasn't really gone anywhere for me. The workplace, I would tread carefully. If you're a church person, that might make it easier. But I'm just not. My point is that having things in common helps.

[@lachlanaulich3566]

Oh perhaps having nearly absolutely nothing in common except you both like horses or cattle for example

[@robertschulz7454]

Interesting as always

[@ewelinar6217]

It was so lovely watching you together (apart from the content). You can tell that you really like this guy😅. Best of luck to you both ❤

[@kikoandoy]

Super insightful! I'll meet my soulmate in Aus after learning all this :D

[@sinansn6499]

Thank you for sharing

[@shawnduddridge]

For the latinas in Australia when talking about dancing, i would be a bit more strong and say no! Most Aussie guys do not know how to really dance with a woman.. not like in your culture. We just dont really learn this as we grow up unfortunately. Im excited to meet a latin american or spanish girl but this is something that actually freaks me out a bit, and i would have to take lessons or something to feel comfortable on the dancefloor with a latina. In fact, if i was on a dating app and the woman said she really loves dancing i might be too shy to communicate with her because i know she is gonna want to dance with me soon when we are dating! 😂 I think a lot of aussie guys would feel the same also, so unless dancing is absolutely critical for you to date an aussie guy, maybe just say it more casually.. then you can slowly teach him haha

[@pkerry12]

Also for those interested there are still alot of women in Australia that support the stay at home mum setup. That hasn’t died out its just less common.

[@wazajoshpunk]

i really like your channel and your videos have been a great help since i got my PR and decided to move to Melbourne. One question related to the video, what's the ideal timeline to actually meet face to face in Australia? i know in some country people would meet as soon as they have matched and in others, they would chat and get to know each other using the app in built chat. don't know about in australia though. Keep up the hard work and im always looking forward to your upcoming videos. Cheers

[@livingsimplyaustralia]

Thanks for your comment :) And good question! It depends on the person. But in general, if you get a good vibe after chatting for one day or so, it's best to organise to meet up right away. In my experience, this was the most common approach - instead of wasting time chatting with someone that you may (or may not) have chemistry with when you see them in person.

[@aidanmargarson8910]

maybe its a generational thing .. but i certainly met any number of women when out and about at pubs etc.

[@paolafrancesca7082]

I loved this episode Martina!! Thank you! It's hard for me to understand the dating apps culture though... Sounds like a challenging cultural difference to overcome as a latin there! How did you managed? When did you decide to try the apps? Cariños desde Chile! ☺️💐

[@livingsimplyaustralia]

Glad you enjoyed it :) It was definitely hard getting into the apps, and not something I was used to. But a few friends here in Aus had encouraged me to use them and at the end of the day was not too bad at all. It's actually cool because as we say in the video you can filter by interests, etc. and meet like minded people. In the case of Scott, he had a photo rock climbing (a sport I'm into) and we had our second date at a rock climbing gym lol. But of course you'll come across 'characters' too and sometimes can get tiring. It's a matter of trying and see how you go (you'll have a few fun anecdotes from those dates to tell your friends for sure! haha).

[@paolafrancesca7082]

@@livingsimplyaustralia hahaha aaww thank you Martina! So lovely of you to share your thoughts on this and answer my question! 🙏🏻🩷 Appreciate it so much! I might find courage to try it then! 😅

[@sabrinai.v.8321]

Hi there 😊 First I wanna thank you so much for this channel. The idea of trying things over there just popped into my head a few weeks ago, and now I'm learning and figuring out which visa to apply for. On top of that, this video gives me major hope because I think I'm more their vibe for dating, haha!😅 No te conozco pero ojalá pueda darte un abrazo para agradecerte cuando esté allá❤

[@yipmabaruya1148]

Like #2, nice contents my friend

[@squirrel_ca9745]

Love is like a fart, if you have to force it, it’s probably shit…best advice I’ve heard.

[@livingsimplyaustralia]

😂

[@dragonite87]

As for formality, it depends. For a dinner date, dress up. For a coffee date, you can be casual but don't be too casual. Dont show up wearing a hoody and trackpants. First dates should be casual IMO. That way, theres no pressure and it goes badly, then its no big deal. If it goes well then we can do something more formal (like a dinner) for a second date.

[@jdb9388]

i love accents, its like adding seasoning to a bland steak that handshake he made it to 2nd base 🤣🤣

[@rohanilame7236]

Visa isyet to come had to differ because of slow processing...seriously from students perspective Australian migration processing is really pain in the ass

[@donbethelokpara2887]

Lovely I wish I can find me an Adorable Australian smiles

[@pkerry12]

Yeah i don’t move in with a girl, i like the separation.

[@pkerry12]

Open relationships with many girlfriends is ok its not a serious thing most times becauze u can’t marry many girls and have many wives in Australia

[@GoWestPlz]

unpopular questions 😢

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

"consent"....how romantic :) will you sign this form so I can kiss you? haha

[@doctorprepper8106]

Do you see Australian women dating Latin men?

[@patbateman9187]

0:45 MARTINA that was insensitive, unfunny, immature, poorly empathetic, it was s***. You put one of the worst pictures of mine! I didn't say a single thing about you 😂😂😂 Nah mentira!! jajaja..saludos de otro argentino en Australia! 😅 muy buenos videos.

[@togetherwithalice6877]

Omg , I am Asian girl, studying in Melbourne I don’t like 50/50 split payments lol 😂 I guess Auss guy is not my type then I will move to USA . Never ever pay my drinks. And I date one Aus guy he said let’s date casual now I understand he is dating with other women lol 😂thank you so informative information ❤

[@OccidentalAryan]

What's dating like in Australia? It's over for the bottom 60% of men. They're finished, the competition's too fierce these days due to social media and dating apps.

[@ivanamcmullin-8548]

I forgot to add we are Canadian.

[@rossevans1774]

Well, what can I say, he's a lucky man, and ..... I'm maybe just a little jealous.

[@Evie170]

Wouldn't recommend dating apps in Australia. Lots of extremely socially awkward people on there, hiding behind a screen, especially in Victoria...

[@ewelinascn372]

If you ever lived in the States you would never split a bill. - Don't be naive girls - guys always pay when they ask you out. :)

[@t_scout]

🤡

[@rohanilame7236]

Open relationship will be Hugly beneficiary for me ...u don't have to sell urself completely to one person.

[@kerala327]

Plsee give me a gf from Australia

[@ramozj6997]

Shes from Argentina ,he is from Australia. I think that should tell dudes what the dating culture is like here for the dudes. Most Aussie guys I know fly out to Asia, Europe US, Sth America. If you are a nice guy forget Australia.Go to Europe. If you have an English, Irish, Scottish accent then Australia is for you. There are massive amounts of Asian women here and they are popular with Aussie guys. Dating apps are like for top 5% of dudes here . I only know 2 guys who do well and their taste has got worse and worse. Dating apps are for them and 80% of women. I've picked up women on tinder dates or waiting for their tinder dates.Apps mean nothing. It weirds me out that people are invested in someone they have not met or they don't even know what they smell like. The majority of my mates are married to women from overseas that they met overseas. Australian men are the way they are because of Australian women. These women fall apart when in Europe or Asia because they can't compete . While Aussie men get snapped up.I've seen it enough for decades. Spain for me in June and I can not wait.

[@Li-jn2qz]

I'm not quite sure whether I understood your point. Do you mean that Austalian women are picky? Why do Australian men not often choose Australian women?

[@valak3374]

Hello sister are u from Spain????

[@creepgpoop]

Do you guys know if reggaeton culture is bit present on australia?? like latino perreo n stuff? Personal note: I love un buen perreo but idk if girls there are into that or if there are even places for such. Ill try to open one myself if there cuz is fantastic, but let me know if it vibes with you
