Is dating in Almaty more gray aread and less straightforward?
Recently I've been seeing this Russian Almatian girl (34F). She likes me (based on her body language and our exchanges) and she clearly knows I like her because I've told her from the get go since we started seeing each other and talking. **We met at someone's birthday party and I asked her out**
She doesn't want to lable it as "dating" or meeting each other under pretenses of "romance or heading towards a relationship", but as good friends who are "vibing" together. But she is flirty, often reaches out to me herself, and wants to get know me...
In America dating is pretty straightforward. Either you are 100% a friend and you stay friends or you start dating with the goal of long term committment from the beginning. I've since then been using only dating apps, so I haven't come across such as situations at all.
Any Kazakhstani millenials who could explain non dating app dating culture?
