britishstudent Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hey, I'm from England - so not sure iof this kinda of thing differs in America (where I am currently). I sat next to a girl in a briefing we were attending. We chatted for a while - got on pretty well. For some reason as we were about to depart for different floors I asked her for her e-mail address (I didn't have a phone at this point - hence e-mail). She gave it - even writing it a second time in case I couldn't read it. We have exchanged a few e-mails since - I suggested going for a drink - she isn't over 21 - so she suggested the equivalent. I then said we should grab lunch. That was fine with her and will see her tomorrow. Does this mean she is potentially interested? Or is this just American friendly? Link to comment
anken Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 sounds like you have a chance and you should take it one conversation at a time. Link to comment
Supa_gurl Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 she is interested. and me, personally...I melt when I hear a british accent. (well when I was single anyway) Link to comment
Weeblie Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 She's interested. Have fun tomorrow! Link to comment

keenan Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 We aren't THAT friendly. You have yourself a lunch date! (You'll have a total advantage with your English accent. So cute!) Link to comment
dream83 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 We aren't THAT friendly. You have yourself a lunch date! (You'll have a total advantage with your English accent. So cute!) LOL I was totally going to say both of those things! You read my mind. Link to comment
Shin kensen Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 not everyone in britain speaks with a toff accent, just like not everyone from the US is from socal... Link to comment
Parsley Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Sounds promising Also, got to mention, are you sure it's every british accent? Or even every English accent? What if he's brummie? or west country? My bf has a slight west country twang ever so often...and much as I love him...it's not the sexiest accent one could have. Link to comment
Supa_gurl Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 not everyone in britain speaks with a toff accent, just like not everyone from the US is from socal... I'm sure they don't, But there is always a hint of their accent no matter what. I am from Texas...people would think I talk with at "twang", but I don't. I am sure that in certain words a person can hear my southern accent. I am just simply saying, if I hear just the hint of an accent (not even necessarily British). I find it very intriguing.

I'm not sure Americans can hear the difference, unless two people from different regions are side by side and we can directly compare. I guess most anything different is kinda cute...it's just novelty. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 can't say for certain from getting an email address. she might just think you are a nice person and could be a friend. she might want to hook up. she might want to make you a bf eventually. meet up and find out more information.

I'm not sure Americans can hear the difference, unless two people from different regions are side by side and we can directly compare. I guess most anything different is kinda cute...it's just novelty. A brummie is someone from Birmingham, a scouser someone from Liverpool, a geordie is from Tyneside, a wurzel from Somerset... I think you definitely would hear the difference, probably not know pinpoint where the person is from, but you would hear it. I can discern different American accents, I may not know exactly whereabouts they originate, but I can hear it. Link to comment
