When not to flirt

Dating is not just a thing that happens here in the UK, it goes on all around the world and because of this is may be an idea to find out about the local laws and customs, as sometimes in some countries it is quite easy to fall foul of the local laws and therefore as a result ending in some serious problems.

Take Saudi Arabia for instance; there has been a lot of arrests recently in fact 57 young men have been arrested for simply flirting with girls at shopping centres in Mecca.

The authorities definition of flirting is the wearing of indecent clothes, listening to loud music and dancing, this is said to have been done in order to attract the attention of the young girls who also visit the shopping malls. This comes after the sale of red roses was banned along with other symbols of love. So remember you could end up with more than a hot date if you do not take notice of local laws and customs.
