I get asked this question all the time by my friends in London and all over the world. Sometimes you are not even looking for anyone but you meet a person and boom you start dating. Whether you are visiting Bali temporarily or for a long amount of time, there are a few things you need to know before dating on this beautiful island. In this blog post, I will tell you the truth about what it is like to date in Bali based on my personal experiences and my friends until now.
I hope you are sitting down with a bag of organic pop-corns because things are going to get juicy real quick. I have been living in London for over 9 years and dating involved going to bars or restaurants.
A date could be visiting a temple, watching the sunset, swimming in the Ocean, surfing, dancing and a lot more. If you are lucky and find the right person, a local or expat, you can have the time of your life. However, meeting the right person in Bali is not that easy. A lot of people keep swiping on dating apps because there is too much choice.
Well, this is exactly what happens in real life in Bali! There are way too many beautiful people, so, why choose one? This is the underlying truth about dating in Bali.
Does it sound superficial? It is! It might work for you perfectly if you are looking for a temporary fling but not if you want to build a relationship. And there is more…. Bali is one of the most ambitious destinations in the world for both tourists and digital nomads. People come and go daily. This is a sad reality for friendships and romantic relationships as well because most of the time you have to say goodbye.
