A TikTok video featuring a Serbian woman has caused an absolute sensation online, especially among Americans who were stunned by Serbian dating norms.
The video, which has garnered nearly 823,000 views, shows an American man discussing the differences in “dating” between the US and Serbia with a Serbian woman. Comments continue to pour in, with many agreeing with the Serbian woman, while others simply expressed shock.
“You Have This ‘Dating’ Phase. We Don’t Have That.”
At the beginning of the conversation, the TikToker directly asked:
“What’s the difference between dating in Serbia and America?”
The Serbian woman didn’t mince words:
“It’s different because here you have this phase you call ‘dating.’ We can go out for six months, act like we’re in a relationship, but actually not be. In Serbia, that doesn’t exist. If you’re going out with someone for a while, it means you’re together,” she explained.
She candidly admitted that this concept completely confused her when she first arrived in America:
“When I got here, that was my first big surprise. I was like—wait, what is this? So, we’re not together, but we’re acting like we are?” she wondered.
American in Shock: “So, as soon as I ask you out, we’re together?”
Confused by her answers, the American tried to grasp how it works in Serbia:
“So, there’s no getting-to-know-you phase? If I ask you out for a drink, it means we’re in a relationship?”

The Serbian woman patiently explained:
“There’s a talking phase, but as soon as that line is crossed—it has to be defined. Either we’re together or we’re not. There’s no ‘we’re seeing each other, but we can also see others.’ With us, either you’re in a relationship, or you’re not.”
Ecstatic Comments: “The Girl Is Absolutely Right”
The video triggered a huge number of comments, and not just from people in the Balkans.
“I’m from Serbia and I’ve been in a relationship for three years. I can confirm the girl is 100% right. If someone doesn’t know what they want, that’s a serious red flag,” wrote one user.
“Balkan people are special. We respect our partner, there are no lies or deceptions,” added another.
Comments also came from other countries:
“I’m from America and I agree with this girl. Looks like I need to move to Serbia.”
“It’s similar in Brazil—everything is defined much faster. And I like that.”
“I’m from Macedonia and I endorse every word she said.”
“I’ve been to Serbia many times and it’s true—Balkan people still cherish traditional values and know what family means,” another follower stated.
