    Hi!

In Malaysia, there is no such thing as “dating”, at least in a way that other countries understand that. When a Malay person says “We’re dating”, that usually means that they have a serious relationship that will most likely result in marriage. There are no hookups and one-night stands, and even holding hands in public is considered to be too vulgar, so it’s forbidden as well. Local couples don’t even think about the demonstration of their feelings publicly, so every person who is going to travel to Malaysia should avoid doing that too.

There are a lot of issues a person wanting to find someone in Malaysia might face. At the same time, there is nothing impossible if you want that. Just remember to follow the local traditions and respect the culture of the country you are going to visit.

What to remember about Malay dating

The first thing that a person wanting to date a Malay person should remember is that the number of single Malay women is extremely high, so everyone has a chance. The lack of any nightlife except for some places in the biggest cities of a country means that there are not so many places to go out with friends and a few ways to find new friends too. So even if you are lucky enough to find a beautiful Malay lady to date with, it’s unlikely that she likes going out very much. Most of the Malay people are homebodies, so it will always be a good idea to spend time at home eating delicious food and watching a film together.

At the same time, there are still nightclubs where you can see another situation: there is a free flow of drinks and there are a lot of single ladies having fun with their friends. So if you want to find a Western-like Malay woman for dating, that’s the first thing you should do.

A lot of people who use dating apps in Malaysia end up being married because of the serious approach and local traditions of the people.

That’s gonna be the hardest for LGBTQ people to find a partner in Malaysia. Because of the conventional and traditional views of the locals, gay dating is forbidden there. It doesn’t mean that there are only heterosexual people there - but it’s gonna be much harder to find them there.
