It really IS British humour and a good sign. Worry if people start getting very polite. They're bored and you'll never see them again.

Brit living in the US for 10 years now. I miss laughing. Edit: I feel like I should clarify. I love my adoptive nation and it's inhabitants. I just have different cultural references and sensibilities. Americans are hilarious. I miss British banter.
@adamkeningale1410
In the UK if someone takes the piss without being nasty, it means they think you're alright.
@Autodidactz
As a now single American woman dating in the UK, I can attest that even the roughest "blokes" are so polite and lovely. Ha 😂 amazing. Been here a long time so I'm well adjusted to the humour and actually prefer it. It's lack of ego.
@cdonne100
I love love love British humor. It's mainly sarcasm and the Brits are geniuses with sarcasm. Some call it dry humor. It literally puts me on the floor with laughter. Of course it helps to have friends from the UK
@Xanderheart15720
I stand by the fact that the average person in the uk is a comedic legend *omg thank you for all the likes!
@jamesnewham7125
Meeting at a café is the best first date imo, a quick drink, less awkward than having to sit through a whole meal with somebody that you actually don't click with. If it goes well you can do something together straight afterwards, if not you can part ways.

£300 for a first date? Thats not a date - thats a gold digger
@EM-KeepingtheFaith
English woman here. It's true about the roasting humour. The more we like and gel with you, the more we tease and insult you. Yes, i know that when I type that out, it makes NO sense.....
@Mr.Liam.
I work in a factory with predominantly men and i can concur UK banter is like borderline bullying your best mates wherever possible, destroying their ego, exploiting their insecurities with the most degrading statements about each other yet building them up and being the ultimate wingman when it's required. it's all out of pure love. 😂

I've been with my other half for 13 years (14 this November), and our first date consisted of a walk down the canal talking. We then went for a coffee and shared a packet of crisps. After that, we walked back, where he dropped me off home. On our second date, we sat at the bottom of the stairs (I dont know why there), talking and drinking. They're fond memories that still come up in conversation now.
@NLTops
As a Dutch person: Banter is important because you quickly learn how emotionally stable a person is. They're not being mean, they're stress-testing you. ;-) Best banter is between two people who are close. When you know someone so well that you can deliver zingers nobody else can, that's when you know you have a special bond.
@SockerConny80
Taking the piss is an art form, depending on your level the insults can be as complicated as a grand master chess game.
@gemma5039
Banter keeps you grounded. USA has therapy we have banter

I have a British friend who is in the states, she said dating is a nightmare over there, she said she feels overly judged and high expectations to be perfect just melted her mental health. She would think things were going really well only to be ditched with a report of everything she needed to fix. Eeeeek! Our banter is the best. But it took me a while to understand my husbands lack of social filters. How no one has straight up punched him yet I will never know. But he’s genuinely well liked and gets on with everyone ❤
@Loomac1970
Pre online dating, dating wasn't even a word for the regular person in the uk, not like in the USA. You literally met someone, went out for a meal once, and/or a movie, and if you liked them you would hook up and then you are boyfriend and girlfriend. 😂 You would never date multiple people at the same time. You either liked someone or not. Online dating was looked at as being desperate and you would never admit to it lol. In fact I met my husband through Facebook, 10 years ago as I was friends with his sister. My own father was and still is disgusted that I must have been desperate to meet someone online. Because of that, he's never warmed to my husband and only met him a few times. That's dramatic obviously, but hes old (83) and a bit senile. To be honest, I never tell people we met on fb because it does sound desperate even though its not. 😂 But that is the difference between dating now and how people met back then.

You're videos always make me feel so proud to be British 😂😂😂
