take the risk that's it be confident

0:02

confidence is sexy that is great I think

0:05

you should flirt with everyone if they

0:07

see you again you've done well commit to

0:09

it don't take yourself too seriously and

0:11

laugh it off

0:12

and play the numbers game

0:15

if you learn in English as well don't

0:17

don't feel others finished so don't feel

0:19

any um

0:21

don't be shy to just talk apparently

0:24

um a bar lady feeding you ice is a hint

0:26

that she likes you I didn't know that

0:28

always be ready because if you're going

0:30

out with someone the night could go

0:31

anywhere nice natural wine bar that's

0:33

what we like living in Brighton you've

0:36

got the biggest state Arena right there

0:38

at the beach it's so easy every time

0:40

sunny day

0:44

certainly absolutely

0:48

[Laughter]

0:51

hiya welcome to easy English today I

0:55

want to get dating advice from the

0:56

people of Brighton

0:58

I want to know where to meet single

1:00

Brits where to take them on your first

1:01

date and how to know if they really like

1:04

you now before we get started if you're

1:06

a fan of easy English then please don't

1:08

forget to subscribe below here we go

1:11

so yeah um what advice would you

1:14

personally give to dating Brits dating

1:18

Brits

1:20

be ready to meet loads of different

1:23

personalities because everyone's kind of

1:26

crazy in their own way like just go up

1:29

and talk to people you'd be surprised

1:30

that uh how accepted people are even if

1:33

they do seem kind of standoffish if you

1:35

go up and chat to them they'll probably

1:36

be pretty okay with having a talk be

1:39

yourself find a nice Pub

1:41

uh

1:44

uh don't order for them

1:46

and let them drink you under the table

1:49

okay work for me

1:51

the more dates you go on the more chance

1:53

of success you're gonna have it's

1:55

definitely one of them

1:58

um

2:00

well kind of more in terms are you going

2:02

to meet someone that more chance of

2:04

meeting someone you get along with okay

2:05

because most your dates they might like

2:07

them but you also might not get on

2:09

personally I do climbing and it's really

2:12

Community oriented sport so if you find

2:14

something that's really Community

2:15

orientation you just get to chat into

2:17

people you'll see already having in with

2:19

people so you can just chat to them

2:21

about well climbing will be like uh oh

2:24

how's the route going

2:26

um how are you falling because you're

2:27

not usually climbing they were not much

2:28

usually falling off do you have any

2:30

general advice you'd give for dating a

2:33

Brit

2:34

what are we like

2:36

um some of them are into like just

2:40

chilling and relaxing and other people

2:41

are into going on zip lines and stuff so

2:45

you have to be prepared that can be a

2:47

little bit hard to read whether I like

2:48

you or not because I treat most people

2:50

pretty much the same where would you

2:51

generally sort of go on a date in

2:54

Britain anywhere with hot drinks anyway

2:57

yeah coffee tea anywhere like that where

3:01

do Brits go on dates usually to like

3:04

bars or Pub or anything like that but

3:06

this is probably nicer to think of

3:08

something more creative yeah absolutely

3:10

more thoughtful my best friend met her

3:13

wife and their first date was going

3:15

broccoli picking

3:17

yeah walking or just going for food I

3:19

think that's British people do that a

3:21

lot don't they and they go for food and

3:22

drinks and sitting down things yeah what

3:25

is um like an important attribute you

3:27

kind of have to have to date a bridge I

3:29

think Fanta would you expect to have

3:31

some Banta on a date

3:34

um it would take at least a few

3:36

sentences you know a couple of little

3:38

conversations before okay and then we'd

3:40

slip it in slowly you've got to drop the

3:41

ball haven't you got you've got to see

3:42

whether they can take it or not what is

3:44

Banter it's having good chat not taking

3:47

we have this conversation yesterday not

3:49

taking yourself too seriously and like

3:51

knowing how to kind of take the piss out

3:53

yourself and take the piss out of

3:54

someone else but in a gentle way classic

3:56

and banter is pretty much the same thing

3:58

in England right I don't think flashing

4:00

is you know as movies would put it it's

4:03

not not as obvious yeah I'm not sure

4:04

where that night

4:07

but it's more like

4:08

it's banter is flirting but flirting

4:10

isn't banter

4:11

head on over to italki with this link

5:03

go.italki.com forward slash easy English

5:06

to start your first lesson and get ten

5:08

dollars in lesson credits typical Brits

5:11

are a bit standoffish yeah right so how

5:14

would you know if it's going well

5:15

usually it's just a Vibe so it's hard to

5:17

tell and again it can be quite hard

5:19

because we are quite standoffish as

5:21

people I don't think there's a foolproof

5:22

way of asking a Brit okay if they see

5:25

you again you've done well it's kind of

5:27

hard to read them initially but if

5:29

someone I think that's the nice thing

5:31

because for some cultures everyone is so

5:34

open that you can read them from the

5:36

very moment that you meet them right but

5:38

I think a really big sign is if a

5:41

British person a British person opens up

5:44

to you so how would you know it's going

5:46

well when dating a bridge you think

5:48

would they tell you probably not

5:50

absolutely not

5:53

if they don't flat out say get away from

5:56

me are you doing well yeah yeah I think

5:58

that's probably the hardest part about

6:00

dating trying to find someone to date is

6:02

you know do they feel a connection with

6:04

you that again usually it's just a Vibe

6:06

Vibe someone will give you I think

6:09

there's nothing more beautiful than

6:11

how are you

6:16

how you see you again you know does that

6:18

feel right to you I don't know just

6:20

being open and conscious and honest you

6:23

could ask them but I would say save that

6:25

for the very end if at all

6:27

um try to read it from their body

6:30

language I think in this day and age I

6:32

think it's hard if they continue

6:34

speaking to yeah if they message you

6:35

afterwards do you know what they like we

6:37

find especially with the online stuff

6:39

like we said it's so easy to just not

6:40

talk to someone again

6:42

if they if they laugh if they if they

6:45

have genuine love I think for me that's

6:47

a good indicator if I see it's a genuine

6:50

love I feel like they're comfortable

6:52

they're having fun so that makes me your

6:54

niece as well how important is humor

6:56

humor in in the dating game Gotta Laugh

6:59

You Gotta live you've got a I think so

7:01

you've got to amuse each other now have

7:03

to be entertaining it's humor good

7:05

humor's definitely good humor is

7:07

probably the number one thing people

7:09

look for when they're in a person it's

7:11

important very important you don't want

7:13

a serious date meetings

7:16

[Laughter]

7:21

Priceless really isn't it You Gotta

7:22

Laugh

7:23

um I think I'm kind of humorous but I

7:26

think but it's for people to judge I

7:28

think my joke's funny but hey it's me

7:30

but you're self-deprecating and that's

7:32

uh that's a very modest feature yeah

7:34

[Laughter]

7:37

do you do things like cheesy chat blinds

7:39

do you do flirting do you do flirting

7:41

yes cheesy chat lines no that comes

7:44

later

7:45

yeah

7:46

but you know you've won that battle you

7:48

can start to use the cheesy chat line

7:50

okay I'm not gonna scare them away too

7:52

far

7:53

I'm gonna be honest I think they work

7:55

kind of well just being really cheesy it

7:57

shows your fun I'm not I'm not a fan of

8:05

farmer just be yourself I think because

8:06

then you're more inclined to find the

8:08

right person I think they would actually

8:10

don't work as bad as people may come out

8:12

to be just because they're kind of fun
