So, you think you want to date a Spanish woman? 

At least, we assume you do since you’re here. Whether you’ve found your way to this page because you hope to meet Spanish women for relationships, or you’re just a little curious to know more about dating Spanish singles, you have come to the right place. 

In this article, we will help illuminate who real Spanish women are (and cut the crap with all the stereotypes) and explore what dating Spanish women can really be like, and where you can meet Spanish women for yourself. 

Who are Spanish Women on J4L, Really? 

Alright: who are Spanish women, really, and what makes them stand out from the rest? 

While we always like to remind you that every woman is a unique individual, and generalizations are risky, the following traits to tend to be true for many women from Spain:  

They enjoy talking – a lot

Calm, quiet and reserved – three words you won’t usually hear associated with Spanish singles.

The ladies of Spain love to talk, and the love a good conversation. The great thing about this, though, is they don’t want to just talk at you. They want a lively conversation – a back and forth – with you.

They are a force to be reckoned with

Women from Spain are VERY independent, assertive, and confident - don’t expect some sweet little, submissive princess. 

This fact is backed up by the fact that Spain is one of the leading countries in gender equality. They are smashing the gender gap, not only for themselves, but for other countries as well. 

They demand respect

You should realize from the previous point that Spanish ladies expect and demand respect. You’re not going to get away with any sexist or negative comments against women (and “jokes” won’t fly either). If sexist remarks are “harmless banter” to you, don’t bother messing with the ladies of Spain.  

They will run late – just embrace it

Sometimes, stereotypes exist for a reason. In this case, it is absolutely true.

Be ready to embrace the fact that a Spanish woman is going to be late – a lot. Just accept it. 

Family is always first 

In Spain, family forms the foundation for society. Whether a family is small or large, the people of Spain are taught to rely on and support each other in practical ways. 

So, if you start dating Spanish women, be prepared to hear a lot about their family. Know that she’s devoted to them and will spend a lot of time and energy on and with them, which, honestly, is pretty awesome. 

Honest to a fault (i.e. – blunt)

Spanish women are known for their blunt honesty. They don’t hide their thoughts or feelings and will let you know what they really think about something. Being untruthful for the sake of being “friendly” doesn’t really compute with them. 

They also expect and value honesty and transparency from others. They hate feeling like someone is being fake or insincere, and they’re very good at detecting it.  

Dressed her best

While feminism and gender equality are definitely alive and well in Spain, it has not meant a decline in femininity! Women still prefer to dress and look their best, even for casual outings. 

Warm and physical 

This is true for most Spaniards – they are a passionate people and show their passions and warmth freely. From hugs and two-kiss greetings, to constantly being near, touching and showing general affection, Spanish women (and even men) are a very physical and warm group of people, generally speaking. 
 

So, if you meet Spanish singles, you are in for a whirl-wind adventure. If that sounds appealing, fantastic. 

But what is the dating scene like in Spain and what would dating a Spanish beauty be like? 

Understanding the Spanish Dating Culture 

In Spain, the mentality about dating and marriage is a bit different than many other European countries. 

Expectations are less traditional, and there tends to be a lot less rules around dating and relationships. 

The main rule seems to be: keep things fun and interesting. 

So, following are some videos and quick guides on the differences between what you may be used to and what to expect when dating in Spain: 

First dates in the U.S. vs. First Dates in Spain

How Dating in Spain Differs from the U.S.

If you really want to know what it’s like dating a Spanish woman, here’s a quick run-down: 

• She’ll expect lively conversation, and she’s gonna bring it.
• She’ll want to split the bill with you and pay her own way.
• She may invite friends to join your dates.
• If you flirt or compliment too much, she’ll assume you’re fake
• She’ll call you on your crap to your face.
• What may seem like romantic, gentlemanly gestures to you (opening doors, etc.) may be offensive to her.
• She’ll probably be late to the date
• Don’t rush “relationship” talk – you’ll probably scare her off.
• Expect to spend lots of time with her family.

Top Things Spanish Women Look for in a Man 

Hopefully (if you’ve read), you’ll probably have a good understanding of what it is that Spanish ladies may want in a partner. 

But just in case you need it summed up for you, here’s what they tend to look for in a man: 

Educated

These strong, independent Spanish women love a well educated man. It means he’s capable and hopefully that he can carry a better conversation.  

Great conversationalist 

This should be obvious by now: Spanish ladies typically want a man who can keep up a great conversation. If that’s a struggle for you, you may want to work on that. 

Shows a girl a good time 

Spanish dating culture really is more relaxed than many. A lot (not all, but a lot) of women from Spain are looking for a guy who can show them a good and interesting time. 

Respect 

Again – Spanish women are proud of their accomplishments, both individually and as a group within their country. They want and will demand respect from their man. 

This also extends to her family. Family will be important to her, she’ll spend a lot of time with them, and will expect you to do the same.

Honesty 

We can’t stress this enough:

Spanish women want men who are honest and direct. 

They want you to say what you really think and feel. They don’t want you to fake it, they don’t want you to put on a persona to impress them. They want you to be real.

If you can’t do that, they’ll feel like they can’t trust you and like you don’t trust them enough to be who you really are. 

Confidence 

Spanish women really do hate a fake and they’ll sniff insincerity out a mile away. They’re attracted in men who are comfortable being themselves. 

So don’t try to impress. Even when you’re planning a date, pick a place where you’ll feel relaxed and free to be your natural self. 

Communication 

When asked what was most important for a good relationship, most Spanish women responded: “good communication.”
Spanish women value the ability to communicate in a man. They believe it is a pivotal quality that makes success in a relationship possible. 

Passion 

The Spanish are a passionate people, and (typically) Spanish women love to have a man who’s passionate as well.  They don’t want the passion for a relationship and life to be one sided.
