Dating 101: For Kerala

Varsity but for Dating

We have a lot of dating sites/apps but does our youth know how to approach dating?

Basically the idea is to create a comprehensive documentation on how to approach dating. Similar documents or guides exist but they aren't optimised for Kerala.

There isn't an area where malayalees can go to and get insight on proper dating practices. We usually refer from American sitcoms (Friends, HIMYM) but there are striking differences between the lifestyles in both these places.

Detailed posts asking for help in dating are common in subreddits such like r/Kerala. I don't think the responses there are well thought out and sometimes the replies to such doubts ends up in other redditors mocking the person who has made the post.

Most of the malayalees especially men resort to "advice" from their friend circle. Some of these advice tend to be toxic. An example being, "They all say No at first."

If we are able to create something every malayalee can refer to, relate and set their expectation; it would help in shaping the dating culture in Kerala.

Further thoughts

  • An inclusive team of peeps experienced in dating

  • What I see is a website or a notion document publically accessible

  • Set expecations for healthly relationships

  • Break the wrong assumptions about dating among malayalees
