    I still remember my first day of class in the Uni in Germany, where the Professor said "so, right now I would like you to make groups of 3-4 people to discuss a theme. Don't forget we have a foreigner coming from Brazil, so please someone make groups with her". Absolutely NO ONE came to talk to me. So sad as a Brazilian, where we are so open to make friends, specially when they come from abroad. I really didn't have a good experience making friends in Germany...

    I'm Mexican and I had a similar experience, but after having to hang out with germans for a while, I came to the conclusion that it isn't racisim, but a kind of shyness and inhibition they have from making friends with someone THAT different from them. I actually ended up making friends with a bunch of brazilians, a girl from Chile, two guys from argentina and even a sudafrican girl. We all agreed there was something warming and welcome in our cultures that the germans lack.

    One of my closest German friends I met while we were both staying at a very shitty hostel in the USA. We were on the same floor and I kind of just started talking to him about how miserable the place is. The next day I showed him and his friends around the city, and we ended up keeping in touch. Five years later we are still friends!

    Meh, that may be your impression, but I can't confirm it. Many people move when changing jobs, studying, for work, for love -- whatever. Sure, they might hold on to important friendships but they'll always end up making new friends (however many or few) near their new home. I think the main problem comes from the fact that if I go to the US or Greece or Portugal, I might end up hanging out with any number of people casually. In those languages, they might be called friends -- but in Germany that wouldn't really fly. I personally would only call someone friend whom I could trust with the keys to my house, my bank account, and to drive 500 km on a rainy night in the middle of the week when it's an emergency. You just don't meet people like that out of the blue. You'll have to nourish such relationships.

    There's a difference between "Freunde" (close friends) and "Bekannte" (friends) in Germany. Cari asked for making close friends here - close friends are hard to get. I comment this because of the long term oddness of having relations with buddies from the kindergarten or schooldays though. "How to meet(/get to know) Germans?" should have been the question.

    Rob Parkinson Yes, it does not :D It would equate to "close friends vs. acquaintences" i.m.O. There are (according to ones socialisation) so called "Graustufen" (shades of grey) between a "Freund" and a "Bekannter" (like "Kumpel" - a buddy or "Kamerad"/comrade in the old times). I think the use of the word friend in the english language is more of a general typ, thus the german "Freund" appears to be very much special. It's these little differences that make a language what it is. I btw. like the notion of a "lad", a "chap", a "fella" a.s.o. very much. Like the german "Typ", "Kunde", "Vogel", "Assi", "Lappen" - all these could refer to friends or acquaintences alike, providing the context of the discussion or conversation.

Was habe ich gemacht: einfach habe ich gefragt "wenn du mochtest konnten wir ein Sprachtendem machen,wir trinken Kaffee/Tee/Bier zusammen und einfach unterhalten, ich spreche auf Deutsch und du auf Englisch/Russisch..." und es hat geklappt. ich glaube nicht dass die "Deutschen" sind zuruckhaltend oder reserviert. Es gibt mehr als 80 Millionen Deutschen und sie sind sehr uunterschiedlich. Meine erfarung so weit is sehr positiv! Die Leuete habe ich hier getroffen sind sehr Aufmerksam und Ehrlich.

But I do think that germans are a litte bit racist and close.

    Ich finde es schwierig Freundschaften zu schließen, nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern in irgendeinem Land, weil das von der Person abhängt, die Anschluss finden will. Man muss Mut haben und nicht einfach warten, bis jemand ihn kennen lernt. Letzten August bin ich nach Deutschland gefahren, um einen Sprachkurs zu machen, und hatte in diesem Monat gar keine Freundschaften geschlossen, sogar in meinem Kurs. Ich bin auch nicht der Partytyp, und die einzige Gelegenheit, mit den Deutschen umzugehen, war, über die Wegbeschreibung zu fragen. Aber ehrlich gesagt, ich habe es nicht gut versucht. PS. man muss wirklich aufhören zu sagen, dass die Deutschen mit den Ausländern nicht umgehen können, weil das einfach eine ungerechte Pauschalisierung ist. Niemand hat mich schlecht behandelt oder war gemein zu mir, obwohl ich ein Kopftuch trug. Die waren ganz nett und hilfreich, wenn ich z.B. über den Weg fragte. Es gab sogar auch ein Paar Leute, die mit mir zum Zielort gegangen sind. Also, überall gibt es Rassisten, und nicht nur in Deutschland.

    Ich finde es auch gar nicht schlimm, wenn man direkt anspricht, dass man Anschluss sucht. Ich glaube, wir Deutschen denken über sowas manchmal einfach nicht nach. Aber wenn dann jemand sagt "Ich kenne noch nicht so viele Leute hier und würde mich freuen, Anschluss zu finden. Wollen wir vielleicht mal etwas zusammen unternehmen?", dann sind die Deutschen dem meistens nicht abgeneigt, meiner Erfahrung nach. Das gilt ja auch, wenn man selber als Deutscher neu in einer deutschen Stadt ist. Man könnte auch zu einer "Clique" bei der Arbeit sagen: "Hey, Leute, darf ich mich euch nach der Arbeit mal beim Feierabendbier anschließen? Die erste Runde geht auf mich." Oder man lädt die Kollegen/Kommilitonen/..., denen man näher kommen möchte einfach zu irgendwas ein, zum Beispiel kann man einen wenn man aus Brasilien kommt sagen: "Hey Leute, ich mache am Samstag einen brasilianischen Abend mit Essen und Musik aus meiner Heimat, kommt doch alle vorbei." Auf solche Sachen lassen sich die meisten Deutschen gerne ein. Und so kann ein erster Schritt Richtung Freundschaft gemacht werden. Ich fürchte, die meisten Deutschen zeigen halt wenig Eigeninitiative, neue Leute in ihre Freundschaftsgruppen einzuschließen. Aber man sollte die mangelnde Initiative nicht unbedingt als Ablehnung interpretieren. Es ist halt einfach die "deutsch Art" typischerweise nur wenige, aber enge Freunde zu haben, und wenn man die erstmal hat, sucht man keine neuen Freunde und ist fremden Leuten / neuen in einer Gruppe / neuen Kollegen gegenüber eher zurückhaltend. Aber wenn der "Neue" konsequent und ohne sich entmutigen zu lassen immer wieder Anschluss sucht und offen Interesse bekundet, dann sind die Deutschen nicht ablehnend, sondern werden langsam "warm". Und wie hier schon mehrfach erwähnt: Ist man erst einmal befreundet, dann hält es meist auch lange Zeit! Viel Glück euch allen PS: Sonst zB auch mal bei Couchsurfing vorbeischauen, denn dort sind meist für deutsche Verhältnisse überdurchschnittlich "offene" Leute zu finden, sonst würden sie sich ja nicht auf so einer Website anmelden ;)

    So I had this american exchange student over in june and when I decided to show him around the city he suddenly brought up the idea to just go to a park and approach some people. As a boring german girl, I was slightly surprised and then I realised that it actually is quite difficult to meet new people, if not over other friends or at parties. It usually takes a few months if not years to really account someone as a "friend", even if you're at a certain sports club, people won't just approach you. I personally find it a lot easier to get to know people in other countries.

Wenn du einfach zu Hause sitzt und ab und zu in eine Kneipe gehst, triffst du dich wenige Freunde. Und übrigens, Freundschaften in Deutschland dauern einfach länger. Ich mein, ich komme aus Amerika und machte da immer ziemlich schnell neue Freunde. In Deutschland kommt das halt nicht so schnell. ABER ich kann es dir schwören, dass die Freunde die du in Deutschland bekommst, werden Freunde für´s Leben sein.

    The Germans, to me, are among the nicest people in the world. It is always easy to talk to them. They may not be as extrovert as say the Italians, but they are always engaged and sincere. Whenever I meet German tourists in my country, we would have simple greetings and then, it seems like they are happy for the conversation to go on, and on. I also received much help from Germans I met for the time in Germany.

  • @gnawershreth

    I find this topic really interesting since it appears to be the exact same as here in Denmark (And Scandinavia in general). We're always told how reserved we are, we have friends from when we were 6 years old, we don't really do small talk with random people in the street, on the bus or whatever. It sounds so similar. :) I do think there's one upside to that though. When you do make friends here, you're basically friends for life. It's not this shallow facebook-level of friendships where people have hundreds of "friends". Your friends will basically do anything for you here from my experience. That's also why we tend to have friends from 20+ years ago etc. When we make friends, we don't want to lose them. Of course racism exists in every country on the planet, but I would agree with the Germans in the video as well. That's not usually the problem. A white American would probably find it hard to make friends at first as well. Not because he's white or American, but simply because of the difference in mentality. We don't generally "look for friends". It's just something that sort of happens/evolves over time when we hang out with the same people. :) Like the Germans said, a lot of their friends are from school, uni etc. so the best way to find friends is probably to hang around locals. Join a football club, join a book club, a chess club or any kind of thing that attracts local people. And just like here in Denmark, drinking also helps. You don't *have* to drink to make friends but the locals just tend to loosen up a bit when drunk, so they're more likely to engage in random small talk with strangers etc. Obviously it'll be a bit superficial if you *only* know someone from drinking with them, but it can be a good way to get a phone number, agree on meeting up again the next day or whatever. Alcohol is sort of a shortcut to finding friends I think. Not a requirement. :P

    Gnawer Shreth I've studied in Aarhus University for 10months and what I have experienced is Danish girls didn't talk to me outside of class and even if we had a group at the course to discuss questions together. After that course finished I took another course with them but they behaved as if they never met me. But it wasn't like that with men. And another thing is people invite you to a party or a dinner but don't talk to you. When I asked the reason I got the answer that maybe they think you dont want to be disturbed. They expect you to start a conversation. It is different in my culture if you are the host you take care of your guest you talk to them introduce them to others. I am a woman and this was my experience about Danes at the uni. At the dorm I could get more close relationships with Danish women.

It's not that we generally mind talking to people. We talk to people all the time. It's just usually people we already know. If you want to meet Danes (and probably Germans as well) you've gotta show a real interest and be proactive about it. Invited a guy/girl from class over for a beer, a football game or whatever and just talk to people. They probably don't mind. We just have this culture where we assume "random" people would rather be left alone and get on with their day. We do it to "random" Danes as well. It's not that we actively ignore them or dislike them. :)

    Ich muss dazu sagen als Kölner, der in Münster studiert hat, dass es im Münsterland eine völlig andere Sozialkultur gibt als im Ruhrgebiet, Rheinland oder in Berlin. Während man in Köln oder Berlin von Menschen/Kollegen auf der Arbeit angesprochen wird, was man so macht, wo man Karneval feiert oder ob man schon mal in Club X oder ähnliches Tanzen war, muss man in Münster und Umland eher auf die Leute zugehen, da dort die meisten in der Gegend verwurzelt sind und es unüblicher ist neue Leute zu treffen. Meine Freunde im Ruhrgebiet (Duisburg/Essen) haben zum Beispiel keinen einzigen Freund mehr aus der Schul- oder Kindergartenzeit, höchsten 1-2. Wenn man jedoch erstmal zu einem Münsteraner durchgedrungen ist und man sich anfreundet, entsteht auch oft eine stärkere Freundschaft, als man zu einem Kumpel hat. Man muss jedoch in Münster mehr Geduld mitbringen. Das ist meine Erfahrung.

    This happened in the early days after I just arrived in Munich. I was lost on the campus so I asked a girl passing by, then it turned out we were going to the same place. We talked along the way and had a pretty good time during the event. We changed numbers, and she invited me to a party a few weeks later. I naively thought it's a good sign that I was actually making friends in Germany. So I asked her out for a girl's night. I said to her '' it would be really nice if I could have a friend like you'', she was literally slack-jawed hearing this and said ''I don't know why you want to make friends with me.'' This experience makes me CRINGE every time when I think of it. There is absolutely nothing more embarrassing I have encountered in my life. After that, I totally gave up trying to make friends in Germany. HOW SAD!

    That's a cultural difference though. Asking if someone wants to be your friend is extremely unnatural to a German. It feels very personal and superficial both because it either pressures you into a serious commitment or is basically a face-saving lie because true friendships don't spring to life from nothing (in 99.999% of the cases). In Germany, if you aren't a child in daycare, kindergarten, or lower school, you don't 'ask' for friends. You get to know someone, spend time, become better acquainted and then might be fast friends after a while. Asking to be a friend seems to me like jumping the gun and skipping to the end. A real friend is someone you can trust with your money, wife, and life. Anyone else is an acquaintance or colleague.

Surprising to see u a bit on the nervous side when you are always so gregarious, but is cute! Funniest story in finding a friend - don't know but it is usually when it is friend of a friend who becomes a friend or by a fluke or happenstance, u just start talking over something else & u become friends. This happens to me constantly as I am always chatting w/ people - everywhere.

Ich finde die deutsche Leute sehr nett aber es war in Mexiko ( ich bin Mexikaner ). Ich habe auch gehört wenn die Deutscher im Ausland sind, sind Sie netter als in Deutschland. Schließlich würde ich sagen wenn man neu Freunde kennenlernen möchte, sollte man die andere Kultur verstehen dann kriegst du alle Freunde, die du willst.

    Ich bin 2003 nach Schweden gezogen und fand es auch hier unheimlich schwer Freunde zu finden, obwohl ich nicht finde, dass die Menschen in Südschweden besonders reserviert sind. Ich fand es übrigens viel leichter in Dänemark Freunde kennenzulernen, wo ich auch studierte und arbeitete. Ich bin mit 27 hierher gezogen und das ist in diesem Alter auch vielleicht schon etwas schwieriger, obwohl sich auch die Schweden oftmals spät im Leben ausbilden und studieren und spät eine Kernfamilie gründen. Doch die meisten lernen ihre Freunde kennen, wenn sie Kinder oder Jugendliche sind. Menschen, die dann in eine andere Landschaft (Provinz) ziehen, haben dort oft kaum oder keine Freunde. Ich dachte auch erst, dass das daran liegt, dass die Schweden so reserviert sind. Dieses Vorurteil hatte ich aus Deutschland mitgebracht, doch später habe ich gemerkt, dass ich eigentlich manchmal etwas reserviert bin. Ich hatte auch in Deutschland kaum Freunde und war immer mehr auf die Großfamilie bezogen. Hier in Schweden sagen einige Leute ganz offen, dass sie keine Freunde haben. Ich glaube, in Deutschland geben das die Leute nicht so offen zu, obwohl es auch dort vielen Menschen so geht. Ich habe heute außerhalb der Familie wenige Freunde, ansonsten verstehe ich mich auch gut mit den Kollegen. Ich glaube, dass ich für mehr Leute kaum Zeit hätte. Ich benutze viel das Internet und kann auch allein an den leeren Strände hier liegen oder im Wald spazieren gehen, was oft sehr erholsam ist. Und ich genieße meine Freiheit. Vielleicht muss man sich einfach damit abfinden, dass man nicht so viele Freunde hat, vor allem, wenn man woanders hinzieht und vielleicht über 25 ist. Jeder Mensch ist eben auch anders und einige können eben nur wenige Freunde haben und manchmal ist die Familie wichtiger.

    I don't have friends in Germany. I don't live there but perhaps we'll emigrate to Germany in some years. I live in The Netherlands and I like to go on vacation in Germany. Unfortunately I don't live nearby the border with Germany, otherwise I'll be in Germany more often. I don't have friends in Germany but it always surprises me that so many people in Germany are so friendly. Last year we were on vacation in Spreewald. It was the first time I was in the former DDR part of Germany. My husband and I visited the DDR museum in Burg and I asked a woman how it was to live in the DDR. I only read, heard, saw the western side of the story at school and on tv but never how it was as a citizin. I'm very interested in people's lifes and I asked a woman in the museum. I think she came from Berlin. We stood in the DDR classroom and I asked her in German how it was back than. Just in the friendly, open minded way (I'm the spontaneous type), she liked to tell about those days. That it wasn't ideal but not all bad either. It was special that conversation and I felt we could have be friends, but we didn't give each other our emailadress or something like that. That's a pity, I often think I would love to talk with her more often. So, perhaps she reads this while she's a teachter :-)

    Coole Episode, easygerman-Team! Interessantes Thema und alles sehr aufgeschlossen und locker gemacht, wie immer. Herzlichen Dank! In meinem Aufenthalt in Deutschland hatte ich den natürlich beschränkten Eindruck, dass die Menschen da wahre Freundschaften wirklich sehr ernst nehmen. Diese schienen echt dauerhaft zu sein und die Menschen machten es anderen nicht vor, mit ihnen befreundet zu sein. In meinem Heimatland sind die Menschen zwar allgemein immer sehr freundlich, aber manchmal können einige Beziehungen ein bisschen vortäuschend sein. Was die Gelegenheiten betrifft, in denen man Leute kennen lernen kann, hatte ich eine tolle Erfahrung bei einer Zugmitfahrgelegenheit. Ich wollte an einem Feiertag nach Berlin und habe ein Zugticket mit einem Typen geteilt, der wirklich sehr nett war. Ich habe noch keinen Kontakt zu ihm, aber wir sind damals ein paar Mal weggegagen und ich stelle mir vor, wir wären gute Freunde geworden, wenn ich in Deutschland länger geblieben wäre. (Nicht, dass ich es empfehle, im Zug rumzufahren, bis man jemanden Netten kennen lernt... hahahaha)

    im from Münster and in this city are the most reserved people of germany. a lot of people in germany are some kind of provincial and also xenophbic. The problem is that many people in germany just intressted in their work, famillies and a few very good friends and maybe for them its exhausting to find new friends so they dont want. Theres a reason why germany called japan of europe cause people in germany define theirself in their jobs. You can only find friends if you join a football/soccer club, go to pub, fitnessstudio, meet the friends of your friends or in the university but be carefull most students on college or university (german:Studenten) are like I said xenophbic and ... So you have to find the "relaxed"people. you can find us because we wear joggingpants and look like we have no job because we have no job. Thats also why we dont define in our jobs cause we cant 😉 and also the reason why watch "how to find friends in germany" with our friends in germany.(in winter i have no job because of the weather. im working on sites) Most foreigners i met in the past were a liitle bit scared or shy to me but people like me (factory workers or other workers) are very open minded, were friendly to everybody and we cant have enough friends. Sorry for my people just stay selfconfident and also openminded then you will find friends some day or me 😘. Its hard to become friends with the most of us but then it will be real friendship. And when you go to techno clubs you will find more friends than its good for you 😉

    Hobbys meiner Meinung nach sind sehr sehr wichtig hier in Deutschland um die Deutsche kennenzulernen, insbesondere wenn man kein Party-Mensch ist (wie ich, leider). Aus dem internationalen Master-Studium habe ich leider nur paar Deutsche kennengelernt, und sie sind einfach meine Mitbewohner, die in der gleichen Studentenwohnheim und auf dem gleichen Stock gewohnt haben. Wir sind jetzt enge Freunde, aber ich würde sagen, das ist einfach Glück, dass sie auch zocken (eines meiner Hobbys). Nach dem Studium ist es nicht einfach neue Leute (allgemein) kennenzulernen. Zum Beispiel, aus der Arbeit ist es viel schwerer Freunde zu kriegen, weil als Ingenieur alle Kollegen von mir in der Abteilung über 30 Jahre sind. Fast alle haben schon auch Familien. Das ist genau wenn mein anderes Hobby eine Rolle spielt. Es ist Tennis. Ich habe schon wieder daraus zusätzlich paar Deutsche kennengelernt und wir treffen uns regelmäßig. Ich habe beobachtet, dass wenn Ausländer in Deutschland keine besonderen Hobbys haben, hat er oder sie auch Schwiriegkeiten, die Deutsche kennenzulernen. Party hilft auch nicht so viel meiner Meinung nach, weil die Deutsche einfach unter sich bevorzugen (und auf Deutsch sprechen). Also, ein Hobby, wo man einfach anschließen kann würde sehr hilfreich sein!

Obwohl ist die Lösung nicht unsicher, ist meines Erachtens der schnellste Weg im Internet sucht.

    If you play a big game like Farmville on Facebook, everyone is looking for other friends to help out on their farm. There will be special pages where you can request friends, and then they are friends on your Facebook, and friends in the game. Then you can slowly begin to interact with them by liking their photos, then commenting on them, etc. One day, one of these new friends asked if I could send some anti-live spray to him for his daughter because he couldn't find that there. I did, and we have been exchanging packages of candy and whatnot ever since.

    I think the only right way to find friends is to befriend yourself first. If you accept yourself, exactly as you are, as your own friend, then it won't be that hard to convince others to accept you as a friend, although then, it wouldn't really be necessary to have friends. You'd always be your own friend. You would not really find the time for others. It's sometimes nice though to find someone to talk to but I wouldn't make it a "thing".

    Hallo! Ich habe alle die Episoden gesehen von EasyGerman, aber ich habe nie etwas geschrieben. Ich war in Berlin diese Sommer, um Deutsch zu lernen, und ich glaube überhaupt nicht, dass die deutsche nicht offen sind. Ich habe viele Freunde gemacht, und sie waren sehr nett zu mir, vielleicht sie sind am Anfang ein bisschen schüchtern , aber wenn du sie kennenlernst, sind sie enge Freunde. Vielen dank für alles! Liebe Grüße aus Barcelona :)

    Claudia Serrano Berliner (vor allem die aus Ostberlin) oder generell Leute aus Ostdeutschland sind sehr viel offener als die aus Westdeutschland. Das liegt daran, dass Ostdeutschland nach dem 2. Weltkrieg bis ca. 1989 zur UdSSR gehört hat und kommunistisch war.

    Dankeschön Cara, du bist immer der Hammer! Meine mainung nach, das größte,erste, wahrscheinlich eigentliche Schwierigkeit ist das Sprache: wenn man nicht gut Deutsch sprechen kann, wie kann man neue Freunde finden? Das ist logisch, und das funktioniert Weltweit. Auch an der warme und freundliche Italien... Englisch ist wichtig, ok, sondern die deutsche sprechen Deutsch

    Weisst du, was du hier falsch machst? Genau deinen Fehler machen leider viele Deutsche. Christian Buosi schreibt hier sein Kommentar auf Deutsch (ob er nun Englisch kann oder nicht, ist hier egal) und erklaert in seinem Kommentar, dass es wichtig ist, 'Deutsch zu lernen'.. Und was machst du? Schreibst deine Antwort auf Englisch.. Das machen leider viele Deutsche. Der Auslaender versucht mit dem Deutschen Deutsch zu spraechen, aber nur weil er viele Fehler dabei macht, sieht der Deutscher es logisch, auf Englisch zu wechseln? C'mon! You are not some of a tandempartner of mine! And I'm not coming from England either. Your English could be better than my German, but that's not a reason to switch to English (if we are in Germany right now and you are a native german speaker). That only reminds the foreigner of 'how bad his German is' and the person will have it much harder next time to speak up somewhere in German. I don't know if people are avare of it, but there are many foreigners in Germany that indeed speak very well German but chose not to do so very often, cause what they have is a real (light or heavy) Anxiety to speak German (especially and rather only when speaking to Germans).

    Als ich auf meinem ersten CSD in Hamburg war, als junger Dörfler ohne großflächige Erfahrungen der Szene, war ich sehr verblüfft über die Vielfalt der Menschen, die mir dort begegneten! Eine junge Frau fiel mir besonders ins Auge: sehr groß und schlank, tätowiert, gepierct und im Militär-Look! Sie saß auf einer Brüstung und ihr kahlrasierter Kopf war von der Sommersonne schon sehr rot! Als direkter Mensch, der ich bin, folgte ich dem Drang mich auf sie zu zu bewegen und ihr die Frage zu stellen, die mir durch den Kopf ging: "Entschuldigung, bist du eine Kampflesbe?" Im Nachhinein vielleicht eine sehr negativ konnotierte Fragestellung, aber so erschien sie mir im Kopf! Sie lachte laut auf, bejahte es irgendwie und wir verbrachten den gesamten CSD als auch die nächsten Jahre als Freunde! Ich denke auch, dass freundschaftliche Verhältnisse im Ausland schneller geschlossen werden können und viele sind auch nachhaltig; dennoch ist dies auch hier in Deutschland möglich, wenn man -so kitschig das auch klingen mag- seinem inneren Kompass folgt und man stets man selbst bleibt! Find den Kanal übrigens super-toll!

    If you read any mistakes in this, be aware, that i am not a native english speaker/writer: On my first Christopher Street Day in Hamburg (Germany) as a young man from a village, i was stunned by the variaty of people i saw there! A young woman catched my attention. She was tall and fit, tattooed, pierced and in militäry-look. She was sitting on a parapet and her shaped head was red from the summer-sun. I am a directly person, so i went to her and asked right away: "Are you a butch-lesbian?" Now I am aware that that is not a very well educated question, but it was the one, that popped into my head. She laughed, we spoke a lot and spend the day and the next years as friends.. I do think, thats its easier to make friend-like conditions in other countries than germany, but its possible to do it here as well! You just need to (now it gets corny) follow your instinct and be yourself! By the way: I totally like the channel!

    With one of my collegue we get along really well. She was a really nice person and we had the same kind of humor. We went home every day together and make jokes about the day it was a lot of fun. Than she had birthday the next day and i invited her out to drink (a coffee or some bier). Well I went too far. :D she said she doesnt want to go. Thats it. We remained good collegues and friends in the job place but it was impossible to break through the wall and get to know eatch other in private... Interesting...

    You basically told her that you wanted to have sex with her. Germans don't do that so casually, especially not at work. That is sacred ground in Germany. It might be that she thought you've seen her as some kind of bitch...that might be the moment you've lost. She turned you down and there's no coming back from this, not even as friends. From that say onwards she was extra careful around you because of what you said to her...

    I always hear that making friends in Germany it's hard. And maybe it is, but for me it wasnt. I studied abroad in Germany and I had friends from everywhere included germans, even one of my best friends is german, i have had 3 german boyfriends and probably will marry a german. I guess depends on your personality and also their personality, for example my rommies were not that open and we were never friends (they all were germans) also if u go to school in Germany def easier than just moving or just going for a holiday. Also they speak english at first but later they end up speaking german haha, so if you get to learn the language it is easier :) ofc!
