As another attorney, I’ll frame it like a decision tree. Offer a clear invitation with time, location, and an opt-out. If you receive a counterproposal of equivalent specificity, classify as genuine interest. If you receive a noncommittal “sometime,” treat as politeness and close the loop respectfully.

Etiquette checklist from a compliance brain: mirror language; don’t assume English competency equals desire to use it romantically. Offer a short, low-pressure meet with a clear exit. Keep political commentary out unless invited. Before adding on WeChat, state frequency expectations to avoid “good morning” fatigue.

Regarding dating culture in China generally, urban professionals balance ambition with filial expectations, so time blocks can be remarkably precise. Your safest script: propose a short venue, confirm the day-of, and avoid political riffs unless invited. If language is mixed, write simple sentences, no idioms. Also, do not confuse Tantan with long-term intent by default; it’s more casual than Hinge.
