#5 Dating in Singapore, Soft Launching & Other Modern Dating Crimes

<p>In this episode of Fourth Culture Humans, Renée and Wanda dive into the chaos of modern dating. From cringe pitch-night “dating events” that flop, to what actually makes a good first date (hint: reciprocity matters more than the venue). </p><p>They unpack the eternal debate: <strong>should the guy pay on the first date?</strong> And what your answer says about values, generosity, and gender roles.</p><p>Then it gets messy (in the best way): <strong>soft-launch etiquette</strong>, repost anxiety, and the very real danger of stalking someone’s old Instagram photos and giving yourself the ick. They finish with standards vs expectations, non-negotiables, and why dating should feel mutual — not like you’re carrying the whole conversation.</p><p><strong>Chapters</strong><br>00:00 Welcome + Dating Episode Intro<br>00:55 The Pitch-Night Dating Event Flop<br>03:18 Should the Guy Pay on the First Date?<br>07:50 What Makes a Good First Date (Reciprocity)<br>11:45 Soft Launching Etiquette + “Can I Tag You?”<br>18:30 Digging Up Exes + The Instagram Ick<br>21:01 Meeting the Family + “Kardashians of China”<br>29:53 Non-Negotiables + Standards vs Expectations<br>35:14 Personality Tests + Compatibility Chats<br>41:38 Final Hot Takes on Paying + Red Flags</p>
