Looks?

UPDATE! xD

As expected, she never even so much as glanced in my direction again... but now there's this Italian exchange girl at my school (don't roll your eyes at me!) she's gorgeous, and she's been giving me these looks I've been telling you all about... I'm not sure whether it's just that she's never seen a person that looks like me before, I don't know anything about Italy, (other than that the fact that it's where Mario and Luigi came from, and they eat lots of pasta )... don't know what people look like there... But, lol, here we go... I was standing, waiting for my bus to come in, she walked by, and smiled at me, I gave one of my aspie half-zombie smiles back... she sat down pretty close to me, sort of tilted in my direction... I wasn't sure quite what was going on, and I thought about it for a few seconds, and I came to the conclusion that she was just making fun of me, and I had a good old laugh to myself about it. I looked back at her, she had a sort of miserable look on her face, like I'd just made fun of HER by laughing at, what I thought was her making fun of me! Confused yet? I am On the bus trip home, it came into my head, that maybe she smiled at me because she's interested in me. Ouch, and I laughed at her and all. And the looks have continued to this day. No more smiles though. Maybe I'm just going crazy I HOPE she was making fun of me, that would make me feel good because I laughed at her. At the same time, if she smiled because she was attracted to me, well... that makes me a total as*hole then.

Thanks if you bothered to read all that, it's been crowbarring its way out of my head for the last few weeks, and it was bound to get out sooner or later. Things seem clearer when you put them in writing, I guess.

people (men) in Italy are dark and hairy they talk loud and yes eat lots of pasta the hairiness suggests higher values of testosterone and therefore bigger urge for sexual relief, what's also known about Italians (so maybe she just missed that haha). I have no idea why she laughed at you, but if she did it and you did the same, she should not have a reason to think it was something bad from your side, you just responded the same way she started.

Don't overgeneralize. My line is from Northern
Italy, and (though some in the family fit your
description) I am pale skinned. My uncle was blond.
Though, we are all hairy, eat lots of pasta and
well...there are other things which fit the generalizations.

She didn't laugh, she smiled. I laughed at her. Lulz about the way Italians look though... I'm pretty pale with dark brown hair, my family is mostly from England... I'm common as muck where I'm from, definitely don't fit the Italian sexyness thing, so I don't know...

Italian MEN tend to love the classic blonds.
I've certainly attracted Mediterranean types.

What if you make brief eye contact with someone of the opposite sex and they blush? Does that mean they are attracted to you or does it mean that you did something that made them feel uncomfortable, like some sort of unintentional facial expression? Can it be possibly one or the other, and if so how could you tell the difference? That is one I have always wondered about.

i am a foreigner in Portugal and i see that with the girls from my native country. i have no chance to be more than a friend with them here, because if they wanted a guy like me, they wouldn't have to go abroad, they have many guys like me at home. they always want to try something new...

Yes.



you can't?

I'm no expert (duh), but I think that if you made someone feel uncomfortable, they'd be more likely to cringe, or give you a dirty look...

Tomamil, so you're basically saying that chicks like foreigners? If so, I'm going to Europe...

not exactly, chicks who are abroad (the italian chick in your country) don't like to show strong interest in boys of their own origin. they like to try something different from what they have at home. like the italian girl, who smiled at you, could do it in order to try 'something new'.

about your assumption: from my own experience, although most girls in portugal don't like foreign guys (maybe they are afraid to fall in love knowing you will leave one day), i am sure that if you go to central europe, like czech republic for example (post-communistic country where foreigners used to be something really strange at the time of communism and girls are really pretty), they will love you there. they wouldn't like you so much if you were from ukraine, though. just be careful and don't let any of them take advantage of you, b*****s are everywhere

it means that they are checking you out, and probably doing dirty things to you in there mind
