Please don't use these terms in polite company! There is British slang and there is British slang!

Bladdered - being very drunk. Ralfed - vomited.

Why are you always posting late at night (your time)?

Drinking games on a first date?

What a classy bird.

Can't understand how it all went wrong.

Loads of people do. I've posted between 1.00 and 2.00 a.m. myself.

Mmm, however fun he might have found the situation, that doesn't mean he is prepared to hear you declare you love to him...

This thread is clearly about cultural differences between the UK and US, but I think you might be taking things a bit too far. It's one thing to be fan of a culture, it's another to see it as another planet.

I've lived in the States in my 20s for a few years, and yes, I have inevitably found culture differences but not to the point that all what I decide to do would be based on it.

You do sound like a bit insecure about yourself and needing reassurance about your actions and decisions. Why don't you take things slowly, start with making conversation with him again, see if he is prepared to go on another date, try to leave alcohol at bay this time and see how it goes before asking him out? I would give the same advice if it was an american guy you were attracted to.

The US tends to be much more open when it comes to talking to strangers.

Also being a brit or having a brit in tow can still be a bit of a conversation starter.

Any british accent is still a magnet to americans.

As I travel quite a bit you realise that in England there is much more reservations when it come to getting chatting to people, however Glasgow my main experience of Scotland you can't shut them up a really friendly place.

Not sure I would engage in the drinking games but sharing a few beers with some new one off "mates" happens a lot in the US when we are there.

take your pick,





lots more here, for different occasions.


Oduliet laugh it off, after a good night out with girlfriend, she drove me home, sitting talking in car at my house, could feel my stomache churning, managed to get the windown down and resprayed the car door, think I'd been drinking Pernod and blackcurrant so quite a nice colour.

Though, being a gentleman, managed to the house and got a bucket of water and washed it down.

It's all part of growing up, just put it down to experience.

Enjoy.

I think most relationships have someone pucking early on. Make a second date with him it's a common british thing to have one two

Us 'British' have usually got a good few stories that start thus - 'This one time, I got so hammered and...'

Talk to him, apologise (but not too much) about the night coming to an abrupt end and ask him out again!

Tell you what, in Britain it's VERY rare that a couple will indulge in a drinking game with strangers and I would lose the respect for a man who encouraged a woman he barely knew, to neck unknown drinks with a group of strangers.

The OP has nothing to be ashamed of but he should be the one apologising. It's not a very British thing to do, if there is such a thing. Drinking games are for students. I find it weird that a bunch of people would encourage you both to join in.

Really......
I do wonder if perhaps you are a lot older than the OP and are thinking of a different type of bar. (Personally I loathe this binge drinking fashion but to say it is uncommon isn't realistic)
