Rules dating german men

Overall, arranging where to meet or pick up a date is flexible; It may be a prear­ranged location like a theater, restaurant or disco, or at the home of one or the other depending on availability of transport­ation.However if a young woman, presumably living with her parents, has accepted the invitation of a man it is customary for him to pick her up at her home; bringing a small bouquet, or a flower or two for the mother is considered in good taste. it is not unusual in Ger­many for a man to date a wo­man much younger than he.
