I may not have been here for that long but I sure have noticed the notorious Italian men. Italy is renowned for being the birthplace of edgy fashionistas, creative chefs and passionate romantics. Here below I have noted the predominant characteristics of a typical Italian guy and tips on how to win over his heart. So, whether you learn how to cook like a mamma or the necessary vocabulary , read away and get yourself over to these Italian stallions.
Cooking is a talent: Achieving Italian cuisine is an art so obviously this had to be the first on the list. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach†and this couldn’t be more true when it comes to Italian men. It is a land of pasta and pizza so start learning how to cook a variety of dishes. Penne and tagliatelli are the easiest and if that doesn’t go quite accordingly to plan – throw in some chopped tomatoes and mozzarella to wing it.
Items aren’t worn, outfits are: Being the capital for fashion , you would think that women would devour those final moments in front of the mirror however, it’s usually because their Italian boyfriends need to finish their hair. In fact, it is no surprise that I have had more shopping dates with my guy friends. Think neck scarves, specific socks for particular shoes and man bags (Chuck Bass eat your heart out). I won’t lie, initially I was slightly disturbed by this somewhat moronic behaviour yet I actually now find myself encouraging this code of conduct for I sure do receive some of the best birthday and Christmas presents.
Do as the Romans do because there is no other way to get by: This particularly applies to Italian men driving. Just like there are amber lights for traffic lights there is also the orange middle signal for pedestrians to warn you to hurry up and get to the other side. Don’t ever think that because it’s green you can cross though, it’s practically asking for death. And if you are a passenger, (in Italy no one knows how to drive) by saying you’re turning green will have you out of the vehicle before you can even say ‘Dating an Italian’.
Cavemen are back: In Italy there are gestures to mimic your words, but there are even one syllable words to describe a sentiment or an emotion. Welcome boh, dai and beh. Boh usually follows a shrug, meaning you don’t know. Dai could be mistaken for a prayer because you literally put your hands together and swing slightly (meaning oh, come on in a sarcastic manner) and beh means well but normally requires a rant to proceed. When dating an Italian, these three words are essential and memorizing them will definitely avoid embarrassing faces to try and seem as though are are understanding their speech,.
Passionate- known as the European heartthrobs and hopeless romantics I can vow that they don’t disappoint but I’ll leave that one for you Scriptoeris goddesses to experience for yourselves.
