Flirting with Fräuleins, Hunting for Herren

More interesting German culture tidbits from my extensive research (called "Googling" by some):

"While a New Yorker might gaze seductively at you across a dance floor -- or even say “Yo baby! You are fine!" -- a German guy will often merely stare expressionlessly, making you feel like you’ve reverted to the Funky Chicken or have a booger on your cheek. But he may be desperately in love with you, but be quite simply unable to indicate his interest in anything beyond discussing Angela Merkel’s domestic policy over a cup of chamomile tea."

(see Scoring a German, from the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel for more dating-related humor)

Perhaps my mission of finding a German husband will not be so easily accomplished. Are German chemists even more awkward? Chemists = pretty awkward. Chemist + German = a level of awkwardness never before seen?

I will find out just how awkward these Germans are when I leave in 11 days! Ahhh!
