    Happy Valentines/Galentines/Love yourself Day! Flirting and Dating in France is an art form and I'm not going to lie, I haven't exactly mastered it! I remember the first time I kissed a guy I liked in France during a night out. At the end of the night, everyone was saying goodnight and so I wasn't going to like smack one on his lips in front of everyone again (it's not like we were dating right!) so I just gave him a bises and left. Little did I know that I had basically snubbed him and I was indicating by that bises that I wasn't really into him :/ lol #culturaldifferences. What are some embarrassing flirting/dating stories you guys have?!

      Bonjour Kate,
      Ha oui, j'attend avec impatience la prochaine vidéo concernant tous les petits mots un peu "chauds" ou "sexy" qu'on emploie dans le flirt. Tes vidéos sur le sujet sont toujours très drôles. ☺
      Je note au passage que tu deviens de plus en "Française" dans ta façon de t'exprimer, le ton que tu emploies (tu parles moins forts et de manière moins superficielle que dans tes premières vidéos). On te sent à la fois plus sûre de toi, plus à l'aise avec les sujets habituellement très "tabous" aux yeux des anglo-saxons.
      Effectivement en France, même entre collègues de travail, une fois qu'on se connait bien, sans même se fréquenter en dehors du travail, on peut avoir parfois des conversations sur le sexe qui peuvent même être assez "crues", et ce même en groupe entre hommes et femmes.
      Maintenant, il y a beaucoup moins d'alcool servie dans les réunions festives de travail (pots de fin ou de début d'année, départ à la retraite, anniversaires, Catherinettes, etc.).
      Mais jusqu'à la fin des années 90, il n'était pas rare que ce type de soirées ou d'après-midi "libres" soient très arrosées et que ça "flirte" pas mal entre collègues (le plus souvent, c'était plutôt superficiel et léger, rien de vraiment sérieux, plus un jeu qu'autre chose) !
      Mais on est entré de plein fouet dans la "mondialisation" avec les années 2000. Et c'est maintenant le modèle anglo-saxon qui s'est imposé avec le "tout politiquement correct". Il ne serait d'ailleurs pas étonnant qu'en France, on finisse par voir fleurir des ascenseurs réservés aux femmes dans les entreprises et ce genre de délires paranos qui poussent à la ségrégation, au total sans contacts.
      Bonne journée.

      En tant que gothique et métalleux, dans les bars métal et goth en France, c'est assez fréquent de voir les nanas (ou les mecs) qui s'intéressent a toi en tant que garçon à long cheveux, te dire "Wow sympa ta crinère je te tresserais bien les cheveux" ...
      Effectivement ça met les pieds carrément dans le plat mais au moins le message est clair.

    I adore the flirty culture here, particularly because it spans all ages. The one that always sticks in my mind was simply stopping my car at a cross walk for an (older) gentleman to cross, and indicating for him to do so. Mid-way he paused, turned towards me doffed his cap and gave me a wink. My returning smile was spontaneous and huge. A tiny moment that put a smile in my day.

    As a French person, I totally agree with all this video. If a guy asked me one of those questions (except maybe the smocking part, cause i don't smock and none of my friends either), i would totally understand that he is interested ! On the other hand, all the phrases that are more direct (for example : "you're so beautiful") would seem almost kind of vulgar if it's said to a person you haven't known for a long time. Too straightforward.

    Singing Jacques Brel softly as I am cooking her dinner is in large part responsible for my midwestern wife having stuck with me for 21 years- or at least for her to continue ignoring all the maddening French and Alsatian idiosyncrasies that come with being married to me. 🧑‍🍳🎤

  • @nikkiscott4341
    @nikkiscott4341 2 роки тому +2

    Form a language point of view, "avoir un flirt avec quelqu'un", seems like it should translate as "to flirt with someone". However, it's a little closer to saying you are having a fling with someone (UK). So if you use the term "flirt" in French, you're kind of suggesting something a little more than in English.

    I’m terrible at regular old American flirting so I’m not even gonna try and mess with foreign language/French flirting lol.
    But about the “flirting is done with everyone” thing, that seems like an easy way to embarrass yourself because you never know if the attempt is real or just for fun on their part? How do you know then if it’s not just a habit and is actual interest? Especially if they don’t do dating there? (At least that’s what another video said) Had no idea how big of culture difference there was in this 😂

    • @pumpjackpiddlewick
      @pumpjackpiddlewick 2 роки тому +1

      Most of the time you can just tell. Like you can most of the time tell if someone simply wants to befriend you. And often times nothing is meant from it. It's a simple chance to show your appreciation of the other person - maybe their look, their wit, their intelligence.
      But as Kate pointed out in her pinned comment, sometimes you just get it wrong. :-)

    Well, It really depends on the context. Don't use your phrases in all circumstances with a French woman, otherwise she might send you packing.
    As far as I'm concerned, with a girl I don't know at all, I always start by introducing myself.

    I live in the US and my personality did not translate from college well to the adult world for this reason. I am a flirty guy, I have no interest in cheating on my wife and family. Like at all. But I love to joke around but the jokes and the kidding did not translate at all into adult world in the US. Not at all. I should ad that I am not lecherous/obscene or vulgar. I don't even swear, smoke or like bars. I loved high school and college because it was so easy to kid around.

    Please don’t be offended, but I’ve noticed some English mispronunciations in your videos. One in particular is very noticeable: The word “especially” is not pronounced “ek-specially.” There’s no k sound. It’s pronounced just the way it’s spelled. “Etcetera” also has no k sound. It also is pronounced just the way it’s spelled.
