The British sense of humor is world famous. Bantering is very popular, especially between men – it is an exchange of teasing, playful remarks, and it is usually good-natured.

But at the start – choose safe topics for your small talk conversations. Like sports, films, travelling or the weather.

When getting closer and opening up, be prepared to talk about your likes and dislikes, but don't embarass people with information that is too personal.

When flirting – don't always expect the perfect English gentleman. According to anthropologists, the average English person is not comfortable talking about feelings and handling intimate situations ...

If you answer a question, don't just say yes or no – add something to keep up the conversation: Yes, that's really unusual.

Saying goodbye takes time and multiple goodbyes.

Be polite and say thank you, more than once.

And: express your intention to see each other again, that's very important.
