I don't think this article had advice per say on relationships, just a shallow shallow glimpse into what they view as love and the process of getting into it

indeed, and perhaps practical insight into how a culture different from one's own, thinks

"a word [or phrase] is the skin of a living thought"--not sure who said this, i think it was Oliver Wendall Holmes

I wouldn’t take romantic advice from the French either, and yet people do.

The thing I like about other cultures is how we find different solutions to similar problems. They often aren’t better, or are only better in certain situations (see also eating utensils, and availability or scarcity of metal), but they broaden your views on things.
