The concept of time
(时间观念)
①
In
china
，
words and phrases about time are very general. For
example
，
if
you
date
with
someone,
most
of
Chinese
used
to
answer: in the afternoon /at night/after a while and so on.
But
in
western
,
people
have
a
very
strong
concept
of
time.
If
you date with a
foreigner, they
will ask you the
Specific time,
such as: what time should we meet?
②
In
Chinese dating
, people would like to come in advance and
they think its represent respect and politeness.
Westerners
like
come
to
the
dating
place
on
time
or
a
few
minutes late, which can
give each other fully time to
prepare
and the enough private space. They think that arriving on time
shows
people
have
good
education.
Otherwise
he
will
be
regarded
as
unreliable
or
is
not
responsible
for
the
other
people.
