He come from montreal and doesn't speak french wtf is that

I'm married to a French woman and I know lots of French women (colleagues, friends, family) and I none are like the girl of this video. Maybe in Paris girls are like that, but there is more of France than Paris.

This will get lost in the comments but here is my French girl dating story:

I had a French girlfriend when I was 19-20 years old and living in France. She wasn’t from Paris. French girls who aren’t from Paris are easy and fun to date. They’re direct, warm, they like to cook (and eat!), and they are generally just absolute sweethearts.

She was a kind and gentle person. She had such a soft heart. Thats what I loved about her. I called her my “princesse Savoyarde” (she was from Haute-Savoie lol)... she pretended to be annoyed but she loved it when I called her that

Sometimes, usually when I feel lonely or sad, I miss her a lot. I think of when we first kissed, on that train platform on that December night. I think of how adorably frustrated she looked when struggling to speak English to me... until I would gently kiss her forehead and ask her to just say it in French.

Anyways. That’s it, thanks for reading I guess. Those were happier days for me. Things in my life were a little... clearer. I’m glad I have those memories.

As a French man, I laughed my ass off.
Well done. :)

Calling a woman by the wrong name is not good in any language.

OMfG dating a French woman sounds more dangerous than doing astronomical math.

[marcia-zriw]

I will correct you ...





"You know you are dating a PARISIAN when ..."

[alleemaria]

This was sooo on spot haha, well done ! Just for the confused people, here's what to remember from it :
- We say what's on our minds
- We are 100 % exclusive from the start
- French relationships are about NOT over thinking things or following guide lines. If something feels natural, do it, if not, abstain. We hate clichés, douchebags and complicated people ;)

[warhammerguy]

To be honest, this does not sound like a pleasant experience....constantly having to tip toe around what you say even when giving compliments and her being intentionally cold and disinterested towards you at certain times does not sound like a healthy relationship.

[comingoutofhibernation]

This is more like "You know you are dating a Parisian woman when ..."

[HereIAm]

I love the idea that dating is serious, and you are automatically not seeing other people! I wish it was more of a thing where I live, but people seem to think it is 'holding each other back' or something. In a way, I think the new 'non exclusive' dating culture is what makes everyone terrified to date. Because if everyone is dating multiple people, how do you know you will be 'picked', and how can you concentrate enough on getting to know the other person?

This video suggest the level of difficulty in understanding french girls!

[JC-luts]

Based on this woman's facial expressions, she switches moods by the second!

[zrodomiosci]

In Poland we also don't have that "how are you, I'm fine" culture. If I ask my friend how was his day he will be honest with me and tell me what was good and what was bad. For Polish people always smiling and pretending that everything is ok when it's not is fake. Gretting from Poland🇵🇱😍 ;) I love the French girl

[josepartida]

I took French in college and our TA was from Paris
She once told me that she was confused about American dating
That she didn’t understand why we had to make it official
She said “shouldn’t you just know” lol

[kajin]

Do we talk about the fact that i'm french but i'm still reading the English subtitles when they talking in french 😭😭😂😂

[shamerzaihan]

You know you’re dating a french when she strikes every 2/3 month or so .

[alexandergoldman]

This may be a bit generalistic...but I've heard that once you've made a friend with a French person...you've made a friend for life. Many tend to be very loyal friends. I've met one French person and he's super cool and definitely a friend for life.
