Foreign Guys Tell All: The Rules of Dating Foreign Guys When You're Studying Abroad - Part 1

Once the sun goes down, the meeting hot spots shift from the cute, casual, cafes to the more energetic bar and pub scene. It will likely be less "romantic", but, if you get lucky on your friend's pub choice, there will be plenty of potential foreign men to chat with. 
 
After studying abroad in London, with travels to Paris, Ireland, Scotland and Amsterdam, HC Campus Correspondent for The College of New Jersey, Jessica Corry, says, "the pub and bar culture is huge and it's not unusual to grab dinner in a pub then bar hop the rest of the night away."
 
One difference, Jessica says, is that it's not necessarily about consuming as much alcohol as possible. It's more of a social event.
 

 
"Not only does this mean you get to explore a lot of different venues, but it increases the amount of people you meet in one night and the chances someone will catch your eye," says Jessica.
 
Declan, of Ireland, says since the drinking age is 18, much more activity is centered around bars and pubs. "There's no such thing as frat parties," he adds.

"The smile is one of the biggest clues for knowing if a girl is American," Antoine says.  "Most [American] girls show their teeth when they smile and for most of them, they have perfect white teeth."
 
You can thank your orthodontist, and your parents, for that one.
