Introducing “Fourteen Reasons Not to Date an Italian”

Fourteen reasons not to date an Italian.

1. He does anything to get your attention.

He’ll follow you in the streets.

He’ll show up at your house and invite it.

Your lack of interest won’t bother him a bit.

2. He talks a lot.

He’ll dictate the conversation.

He’ll tell you of anything that passes into his head.

You’ll learn things you couldn’t care any less about.

He will be loud and will gesture a lot.

After hours of talking, you will be exhausted.

3. He flirts a lot.

The Italians are by definition Casanovas.

He’s always ready to steal a kiss from other girls. But you must only have eyes for him.

If you even think about another guy, he’ll get jealous.

4. He cares too much about his looks.

Italian men are madly in love with themselves.

The bathroom will be occupied with his skin care lotions.

He will spend hours in front of the mirror.

He’ll wear clothes with huge logos to show off the brand.

5. He is always late.

He is always busy when it’s time to get ready.

He’ll spend hours, preening himself before going out.

He’ll also waste time on random things like watching YouTube.

6. He is a mama’s boy.

In the relationship, you’ll have to take a motherly role.

But it doesn’t matter how much you commit yourself.

His mother will remain the best woman in his life.

She will try to hang on to him by any means.

If she doesn’t like you, your relationship won’t work out.

7. He is always right.

Don’t try to convince him of the opposite.

He won’t listen to any reasoning and will get mad.

If you manage to prove him wrong, He’ll just change the subject.

8. He constantly tries to butter you up.

Compliments are never too much.

Sweet words are wasted even on small favors. If he says he loves you, he wants something from you.

9. He spends a lot of time shopping.

He’ll spend at least 45 minutes in a dressing room.

He’ll try on the same shirt and all sizes and colors.

He’ll constantly ask for your opinion.

But he won’t really listen to it.

If he’s not satisfied, he’ll drag you to the next store.

10. He is a critic in the kitchen.

Italians are certain that Italian food is the best.

But it has to be prepared properly.

Remember when cooking pasta to check the chronometer,

A second too long, and it then becomes a tragedy.

11. He wants to stay in contact all the time.

He will call you, text you, and call you again.

At first, having a man’s full attention is flattering,

But it’ll soon become annoying.

Your phone will be bursting with notifications.

12. He lives at home in his (30) thirties.

Italians are extremely family-oriented.

You’ll never have any alone time.

When you date an Italian man, you date his family.

You’ll be pressured to stay at his parents’ house.

You’ll get to share his childhood bedroom with them next door.

13. He rarely cleans his room.

His room might look like a tornado swept through it,

But he won’t clean anything up unless his mom or you do it for him.

14. He acts like a child.

He must be catered to immediately.

Be prepared to wake up at three a.m. to make him a sandwich.

If you don’t, it means you don’t love him.

In summary, dating an Italian guy can be a fun ride, but it comes with some challenges. From constant attention to long conversations and a strong attachment to family, be ready for the quirks. Whether you find these traits charming or a bit much, dating an Italian man requires patience and a sense of humor. Good luck
