Dating a british man in america

What special relationship? An American on dating Brits

You get home, get a cup of tea or wine, and then decide to ask one of your single friends to come keep you company. The two of you get chatting about your past short-lived romances. Culturally, Brits are known for being more reserved than some other nationalities. We often avoid openly sharing our emotions in fear of being seen as weak. Brits also like to keep their displays of affection private. For example, North American people tend to hug and kiss people in public, whereas Brits like to do their cuddling and romancing behind closed doors. When dating a Brit expect to spend entire days wasted blissfully at these watering holes. Your first date may even be at the local pub watching their beloved team play. So, just be yourself and introduce your crush to your culture, language and colloquialisms.
