learnin-french asked :
While I doubt I will ever have the pleasure of dating a French man, I do have a general question on dating. Is it true that dating in France is generally done with groups of friends? And that just a few kisses (not even passionate kisses) kind of means you two are in an exclusive serious relationship?

What do you mean exactly by “with groups of friends”? If you’re pointing the fact that French people hang out in bars in groups, that’s true. But when it comes to dating, the couple can go out with friends just like they can go out alone if they feel like sharing a moment just the two of them together… It’s up to them!

And no, few kisses doesn’t mean anything like that. French are quite fluid with their sexuality and lovelife, they can kiss or even have sex without “dating” each other for real. Dating is pretty much a decision both make when they feel they start to have feelings or an attraction strong enough to justify being exclusive to each other.

But I don’t mean that all French are like that. People have different personal stories and a kiss can shape into many forms… a kiss while drunk in a party is completely different than a kiss after longing for each other for a while. The first doesn’t mean anything while the second totally means the beginning of something. That has nothing with being French, it’s just life!

Anonymous asked :
What are the French's views on finding love? Do you (the French) believe that everyone has the potential to find a mate or is love only reserved for the few, lucky and beautiful people?

Everybody deserves to love and to be loved back, man…

Anonymous asked: What are French men like? What do they look for in a partner? What is dating like in France?

awesomefrench:

Usually, French men are not shy. They like to have fun, and they look for a partner who would like a busy social life too. They know how to be romantic when they want (Come on, we’re talking about French people! ;) ), they know how to make their partner dream, but they are very careful about it, they like to be “safe”. However, they are a little bit stuck about commitment. They settle down quite late, when they’re about 30/35 y.o. Borders between friendship and romance are a little blurry, any occasion is good to flirt.

Here are few asks I already answered that might fill in: 

How do I win the heart of a French man ?

Dating Culture

However, I like my answers to be really special, so I texted few straight friends for you about French men, because I don’t play on that team, so I actually don’t really know for sure. And this is what I got : 

“Someone asked me what French men are like, what do they like ?”

- L., living in Paris, formal romantic-freak : “They are just fucking assholes !” (The typical French reaction to that question > Told ya they love playing romance…) 

- E., living in Parisian suburbs and committed to a wonderful French men : “They like women who are chic, who like having fun and cook well. They like smoking hot women in bed, too, very important that one, and jealous women. You can say they like to be dominant and swanky too !”

(Still waiting for some answers, I’ll edit my post when I get them… )
