Now most of you will be massively surprised that I haven’t really
been chatted up before coming to Paris, (detect some sarcasm?!). But it’s true!
There is something that is quite different about French men to any other kind.
I’d say my experiences in this area first started in Cannes
(not Paris I know but trust me it’s a funny story). Amelia and I had been
sitting along La Croisette when these two guys came over and started chatting
to us. They were tiny! Well smaller than both of us but turned out they were
from Paris (see Parisian link!) and were actually really nice! Well a lot nicer
than they guy who accused me of being a racist the other day because I didn’t want
to tell him my first name. He wouldn’t leave me alone for a good 5 minutes. It wasn’t
the best experience of my life, I wasn’t massively scared but I was very
relieved when he finally decided to leave me alone! This was after another guy
had come up to me, mumbled at me to which I replied “Quoi?” and then said I was
pretty. I subsequently told him to go away.
I did go on a date with a French guy the other day. That was
pretty sweet and made me feel like I was going a little “more native than the
natives” in the style of Sally Jay Gorce. We went to a typically Parisian bar
for a glass of wine and just had a chat which was cute. It was nice to meet
someone new but he wasn’t the most interesting person in the world. Something
to tick off the bucket list though!
All of this is still better than the street cleaner who
growled at me in my leopard print mac. Nothing can beat that for weird.
