Any tips to date a British guy

Meghan?

Be sure to compliment his spotted dick.

Yes. Don’t.

Live in Britain. Otherwise, forget it. Long-distance relationships never work.

Have a sense of humor (humor) that is at least somewhat subtle and ironic.

Try to get him to shower, every now and then.

Anne E. Lingus posted on another thread, that they have questionable anal hygiene.

Is that true?

Don't date a britisher...it will end in tears

Take out a photo of Meghan and start stabbing it with a pen knife. He’ll be devoted to you forever.

Bring breath mints.

Always hold your pinkie finger in an extended position whilst sipping your tea. It will endear you to him forever.

Why do people here always make fun of British guys?

They seem nice enough (to me, at least).

Just know that around 30 their looks begin to unravel. By 35, they've come undone. By 40, it's almost all over. By 45, you'll be dating an old leather shoe.

Tell him you really love “Toad in the Hole”!

At the very least, pretend to like our food, or don't make stereotypical references or insults. Please be decently aware that we are all indeed quite different, and have regional affinities and cultural influences. No two Brits are exactly alike. We're about as diverse as Americans really.

More on food: do not refer to things Welsh as "English", same goes for Scottish delicacies and treats. Try to avoid calling our football soccer, and learn to like Rugby.

Please do not bring up India in any accusatory fashion, as it shall not end well for you. Same advice applies to those who continue to go on about the British Empire generally. We have a love of history, but feel no need to revel in either the glorious or the inglorious bits of ours.

Don't take yourself too seriously, and please kindly spare us any talk of "American Exceptionalism"

Do this, and you'll probably get on well. We generally actually like most of you.

Go for an aristocrat with money.

R13 I don't think this is true, I'm late 30s and I'm hotter now than I was at 25.

There's no particular tips for dating a British guy - we're not as picky and difficult to please as Americans!

Welsh? Scot? English? Northern Irish?

"British" is s rather broad term. They aren't interchangeable dolls, you know.

Humour is very dry and expertise in irony a must.

And, how are you with local accents?

If you can understand him, you might want to try for a nice, old- fashioned red-blooded Geordie from the Tyneside.

If you want southern sophistication, I'd start hanging out in the West End, seeing lots of threatre. With occasional forays in the evenings to the King's Gate area (often referred to as Queen's Gate).

Get ready for a life time's worth of qualifiers to be dry-bucketed into 15 minutes worth of any given conversation.

Also, if you are allergic to passive-aggression you might want to give the Brits a miss.

The British like to think of themselves as polite. What they actually are is shockingly unable to come to the point. "Er...well, rather...I mean, one doesn't mean to make a fuss...I was just wondering,,,erm....well, it seems, at least to me...well, you know...the building is on fire, perhaps someone should summon the authorities?" Etc.

The British also like to bang on about irony. 75% of British irony is simply lying and managing not to crack up while doing so.

The British do some things remarkably well - they have a gift for the structure of language; obviously this is borne out in their theater culture. I think the British well-tempered countryside is one of the glories of Western civilization. They can be screamingly funny, particularly once they ditch the whole "irony" thing (which tends to read as teeth-grindingly arch anyway) and go for the smut. A really playful and witty Brit is nectar. They tend, oddly enough, to move to America or Europe if they're at all successful.

And of course, they do some things less well. The British hate cities even worse than Americans do. Even historic London looks and feels hated until you're inside of it, in which case there is an inevitable feeling of relief when the door closes behind you. "Thank goodness!" one thinks. "I don't have to put up with THAT any more." The whole point of New York or Paris is that they are cities. The point of London is that you can find a darling little gray-painted mews in Little Droppings Lane and pretend you're peeing out the window of a rural bower in distant Cuntingshire. No number of vaguely dildo-shaped skyscrapers has changed this. Deciding Modern Art Is Rubbish for 175 years didn't exactly help develop their visual sensibilities either.

I think any affection the US has for the UK is due to its actors, which makes the fact that they are usually disliked by the British themselves even more - well - ironic.

The above is strictly chattering-classes stuff, of course. The aristocrats are mind-bogglingly stupid and nearly as brutal and vulgar as the chavs. Not much experience with the others.

If your sense of humor is far out of synch at the start, there's no much hope.

I think the English are the least fit for long-distance relationships. They have grave misgivings about the very idea of them because of the risk they someone might be flying across a body of water to spend a few days and they might be stuck playing host. They are very push me-pull me about relationships. They will press prematurely to spend more time together, to make big plans, to make some sort of declaration of your relationship, but if you move beyond banter to the lest hint of action in that direction, they will instigate a fight as a reason to reconsider the pace of a relationship that they suddenly see as moving too fast. They thrive on this sort of confrontational Slow down! Speed up! thing. Whatever you do or don't do will provoke them to run hot or cold or both. At a laughingly early stage they will insist of arranging dinners to introduce you in small batches to their friends and relatives, then scold you when you go back home and mention another visit because they feel pressurized. Never mind that they flew their parents in to meet you last trip (and before you knew whether he had siblings or not), "there you go moving too fast and mentioning another visit, no one agreed to another visit yet, you're moving very fast and I need time to think about all of this."

The normal way of forging bonds seems to be highly based on proximity. They find someone for a fuck one drunken night at a pub and then repeat and repeat and repeat, maybe throwing in a meal or a Netflix marathon until the stay overs run together and one day one of the two has most of his clothes at the other's. Relationships develop by the accretion of one fellow's stuff at the other's house, the unspoken way, the English way. If you have to talk about anything, that quite possibly jinxs everything. English guys are lovely in many respects, they're well intentioned, make an effort, but if they feel the tiniest pressure to deliver on any sort of expectation, no matter how small, it's as good as over. They start swimmingly at long-distance relationships but they end ugly. Just the idea that there's another man somewhere who might one day contemplate moving in or vice versa sets them in utter panic.

When you start to cum, burst into a rendition of "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy". Limeys love that shit...

I'd love to date a British guy and spend all our time traveling around the English countryside visiting all the historical sites.

R19 funny, I feel the same about Americans. They always beat around the bush with vague sentences like "I think you should probably try to…" — Just say you don't like it, cunt.

Joey Graceffa, is that you?

Lie back and think of England.

I am not entirely certain of the meaning of this but you should learn to "take the piss". An Englishman I met through the web who went by the name of "Flying Monkeys" told me that English people do this but they mean nothing by it. If I understood him correctly, it means you should learn to take a joke at your expense.

Well, this Brit is taking notes. I've not had any luck with dating since COVID came along!

Be careful of wigs.

Name of that pub, please!
