British Men and Dating

Post Reply New Topic

Thank you for the compliment.

You have a very good point. Your post really got me thinking: I'm still pretty young. I have all the time in the world to get married. But for right now, I should try to have fun. I'm still planning on going to the UK, only instead of focusing on hunting down a potential life partner, I think I'll just, as you said, "travel for its own sake". There's also the big plus of getting to stay with my older sister and her cute little kids.

That's a very good idea. You don't really need to be looking for a serious relationship right now.

I found mine by accident - not sure how it happened but it did! I love British men, so much. At least, the ones I know. There are some absolutely horrible ones around who treat women like s**t, but you get them everywhere. Men here do have a kind of code of chivalry as someone stated, and if you find a nice one he'll be a friend for life. People are really laid back in socialising here; I find it easier than in NZ because here people just ring each other all the time, turn up at each other's houses, there's a lot of time just spent sitting in a pub talking and chatting and enjoying each other's company - it's a really friendly society once you get to know people, friendships run a lot deeper than they do back home in NZ.

There aren't really any strict social codes about relationships, they tend to just happen. My partner and I got together when we went to see a band play in a club with a couple of other friends. We hadn't yet met in person, though knew each other online, and hit it off really well. Lots of flirting, within two hours we were kissing lots, and it was all on from there. And no, we didn't sleep together on the first date - waited a couple of months for that, which is unusual these days!!

Just come over here and enjoy travelling. I'll also recommend Danish men. Some of my best friends are Danes as well and they're great and all speak English and have a beautiful country... everyone in Europe pretty much speaks English though. I'm sure you'll run into someone somewhere - just remember that people are people no matter where you go. You'll always have the lovely ones and always have the as*holes. You don't need google to tell you that!!

^ The whole thing about deep friendships with English people sounds very promising and encouraging. Even if I don't wind up with a boyfriend, at least I have a good chance of hooking up with a BFF (which, in my opinion, is the next best thing). My sister says she knows a girl who loves anime/manga over there. Maybe I'll be able to meet her and even more people like her there. (Ideally, I'd like to meet a fellow Hellsing fan or two.)

religion lol

I invented my own (if Henry the 8th or L. Ron Hubbard can then so can I )

That's nice. Good luck with that.

thanks

The correct answer is: Don't obsess about people of a certain nationality.
I think that sums it up!

That is absolutely not true. There are guys who will respect you enough to wait to be intimate with you until they are commited to you in marriage. . .and you don't have to be drop dead gorgeous either...you just have to expect a man to respect you

wut? Surprised a flame war didn't break out.

technically Henry 8 didn't invent a new religion, just a new church. Anyway don't forget the Mormons, Raelists, Wicca, etc....with the same logic.

yeah hail Saltandor
I felt christianity (the religion I was raised on) is crap
wicca is boring and time consuming
so I went down this road

There's no point in fighting; I can't beat them and I'm not going to join them, so there's really nothing to discuss.

I'm not obsessed with British guys, honestly. The truth is, I started out with a desire to date foreign guys in general, and found that British guys were probably my best bet since a) there's no language barrier and b) I already have family members who live there, so visiting or even moving there wouldn't be a problem.

lol, you Americans and your statistics! Doesn't mean every guy is the same. I do like to pay for meals, or i'll share sometimes with my girlfriend. Or she'll pay for dinner and i'll pay for the shopping or vice versa. Why are you set on finding a British guy? Also yeah, this country is full of alcoholics. You'd probably end up cooking dinner while you husband is getting drunk in the pub. You should maybe look closer to home, or maybe somewhere else in Europe.

British men and dating, isn't that an oxymoron, like military intelligence? Kidding!
Why would British men be so different? Nowadays, the whole world is becoming a global village.

However, be prepared that Europeans have a variety of sources for their news, unlike America, where every news story centers around Americans. Consequently, he most probably will have a very different perspective on issues than you, so at least be open minded and ready to expand your horizons.

But romance wise, England is very cosmopolitan, you might like the seduction...
