Let the person define their Berlin experience

An Ethiopian adult living in Berlin may describe the city through work, study, family, art or an entirely different interest. Ask what they enjoy and what they are looking for without assigning them a lifestyle based on the location. Be equally specific about yourself. If you are seeking a committed relationship, companionship or a gradual introduction, say that in ordinary language. A broad idea of Berlin dating cannot tell you whether two individual people want the same thing.

Give shared interests a workable meeting plan

Once you find a shared interest, agree on the neighbourhood and the amount of time you want to spend together. If you suggest a cultural activity, check that it leaves a chance to talk rather than assuming the event will do all the work. Ask whether German, English or another language suits the conversation. A person who is still finding their way around Berlin should feel comfortable proposing a familiar location and explaining what makes an invitation practical for them.
