  • In Germany, relationships typically start with casual dating, where individuals get to know each other through various activities such as going out for dinner, attending events, or simply spending time together. Germans tend to take their time getting to know someone before committing to a relationship, and they value honesty and open communication in their interactions. When it comes to falling in love, Germans are known for being practical and realistic. They approach relationships with a sense of maturity and tend to prioritize stability and security in their partnerships. While romantic gestures are appreciated, Germans also place importance on trust, respect, and compatibility in their relationships. Valentine's Day is celebrated in Germany like in many other countries, with couples exchanging gifts, flowers, and cards to show their love and appreciation for each other. However, some Germans may view Valentine's Day as a commercialized holiday and prefer to show their love and affection in more personal and meaningful ways throughout the year. Overall, the average German relationship is characterized by mutual respect, open communication, and a strong sense of commitment. While romantic gestures are appreciated, Germans value practicality and stability in their partnerships, making for lasting and fulfilling relationships.

They give you excuse "we have a girls night" to make you leave. People are ashamed for being alone and leave each other alone. But also so that attractive looks depend on acting included, socially apt, happy and normal. Girls feel attracted and think about sex suddenly to included men.
