Kiwi's don't break hearts

Last week I took a trip to New Zealand. I wasn't expecting New Zealand to be too much different from Australia but it seems it is. I think the most interesting difference is how they approach romance.

Here in Australia I am constantly hassled for dates in my day to day dealings. From my dog's vet, the GP giving me my flu shot, the local plumber and the guy at the fruit store. Just to name a few. This doesn't happen in New Zealand.

I was a little disappointed that I wasn't getting as much attention in New Zealand so I decided to find out why. To cut a long process short it seems that in New Zealand you need to be introduced to someone before they will ask you out. The Kiwi men are not as confident as their Australian friends.

I found this out by attending the Auckland club. Once I had introduced myself to the locals they took an interest in grabbing coffee and exchanging details.
