hi again birthdaygirlstrip,
i remember your posts from last month about where to romance in Europe and wanting info about climbing Everest and worrying about bedbugs. Whatever happened to robseager, the flirtation you started with the British guy here?

Romania!!!!!!!

The men here go ga-ga over gir-girls who are prepared to go-go a little.

Try Bucharest all year round, Constanta and Mamaia in the summer, and Sibiu in winter.

I think it can happen anywhere - I was in Paris a couple years ago and we stopped at a restaurant in the Latin Quarter. The host of the restaurant paid a lot of attention to my friend and I. He asked where we were from and so on. It was funny and we played along but he was quite a bit younger than us. He then asked if we would like to go to his house after dinner. He claimed to really like American women, and said - in fact,in the past month he had 3 women from my part of the USA at his house. And is still communicating with several women from other parts of the USA! I think this information was intended to get us home with him - didn't work for either of us! But it was pretty funny!

Harmlessly flirting is hardly the same thing as europe for lovers.

I though you were asking where lovers should go for a romantic trip.

Then I thought you were looking for a place to find lovers (presumably somewhat more proficient or romantic or something than your American lovers). For this you are probably better off in southern europe - but realize it is merely a brief interlude before the man goes home to his wife and kids.

If all you want is a little mild flirting there's no reason to go to europe - what's the matter with the men wherever you are?

For serious romantic interests there are so many issues involved ranging from cultural differences to the problems of long-term relationships - that it's not even worth discussing.

And by the way - how will you communicate? Which foreign languages do you speak and how well?

DejaVu

Do one of the following in Paris: a) stand on a bridge by yourself and look out at the water. b) sit by yourself on a park bench, eg in the Jardin du Luxembourg. I got chatted up every time, I swear. And I'm no Angelina Jolie either.

I remember a particular fun and flirty conversation with a fellow named Bernard in front of Notre Dame...ah, Paris!

robseager? Oh, I wouldn't call that flirtation...just friendly online banter.....but not flirting, per se.

And yes, I am still thinking of Mt. Everest.

If you haven't seen the film "Shirley Valentine" do rent it...great movine, takes place in England and Greece.

Costas in Greece...Jean Pierre in France...Sergio in Spain...the possibilities are as endless as the countries! But be carefull what you wish for!

OH my!

Well, I have a friend I will be meeting in London whom I am very anxious to meet. He seems like a very, very nice person. So it is possible, after meeting him, that I will not be so interested in flirting with others!

Romance, bedbugs and Mt. Everest?
Hmmm, sounds like a plan to me!

Have fun birthdaygirlstrip and do consider meeting Mr. London. I was in a similar circumstance about 3 yrs ago. Meet a guy from London but in Dublin. We had a great time and I saw him again in London at the tail end of my three country tour. We've moved on (distance and all that) and I'm engaged to someone else but I have no regrets and SHAME ON people for thinking the worst!

SeaUrchin.......did you pick that handle to tell us something?????

SeaUrchin

I can't imagine what. Just sea and urchin.

where did you decide to go? Romance is easy to stir up with the right frame of mind. Have fun.
