The idea of dating an Italian girl might seem exciting to many foreign men. But it is not without its pitfalls, risks, and countless opportunities for public embarrassment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, the payoff may be worth it, as Italian girls are known to be passionate, sweet (when they\u2019re in the mood to be), and of course, very beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you want to know how to impress Italian girl, there are a few cultural differences to keep in mind to minimize the potential for “fare una brutta figura<\/em>,” making a bad impression<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is extremely tricky to discern something as unwritten and subtle as courtship protocols in another country. Perhaps even more so in Italy where the art of the pursuit is considered paramount to the dating ritual. Yes, it is a \u201cgame\u201d in every sense, and if you don\u2019t know how to play, obviously you will lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, while knowing the rules of this game<\/a> is important, that doesn\u2019t mean that you have to follow them to a tee. Indeed, making up your own rules might even be the best strategy for foreign men in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that said, below you’ll find some the top tips to help you compete. This list is by no means exhaustive, and at times there are points that seem contradictory. But again, cultures are complex, and the best knowledge comes with experience. But with these top 20 tips you’ll be off to a great start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re trying to play it cool, you may come off as being lazy and not interested (or interesting) enough to be worth their attention. While \u201clove bombing\u201d might border on stalking in some countries, in Italy, it\u2019s a requirement if you want to be taken seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn\u2019t have to be expensive gifts or acts of physical risk. But you do need to exaggerate your desire for the Italian girl in question, or she\u2019ll simply ignore you in favor of guys with more swagger. And if you find yourself wondering if you\u2019re OVER exaggerating, I promise you it\u2019s still not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bottom line: Italian women expect to be conquered, so be prepared to put the hours in and dedicate yourself to some serious romance. So be persistent, stopping just short of being a stalker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Italy it\u2019s polite for a man to open the door and walk through first with the woman behind you<\/strong>. In the past, a man would enter an establishment first to ensure it was safe for his lady, and it was not considered proper for a woman to walk into a place by herself. These days, a man walking through a door first is merely a gesture of respect<\/a> and consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But this requires a deeper explanation. It is NOT to suggest that your face must have that movie star quality, or you must possess the physique of a bodybuilder. Rather, your clothes must be well-matched and fit your shape properly. Your grooming should be impeccable, and your accessories should be of a quality brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDating Italian Women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
