I am a 29F. I’ve read that dating in French culture can be a little more organic, subtle, and less structured than in the US. People might spend time together casually without explicitly labeling it as a “date” right away.

So how do you actually know if a French guy is interested in you romantically?

There’s a French guy in my master’s program in the US, and we’ve been spending quite a bit of time together lately. We are two months into the program. We’re both in a very busy program, but he seems genuinely happy to spend time with me and is usually up for things I suggest. Personally, with how busy we are, I wouldn’t be making this much time for a guy unless I was interested.

At the same time, he hasn’t made an obvious romantic move, so I’m having trouble figuring out whether he sees this as just friendship/studying together or whether there might be something more.

For French people or anyone familiar with French dating culture:

• What are the signs that a French guy likes you versus just enjoys your company as a friend?
• Is it normal for things to stay ambiguous for a while before someone makes a move?
• How do these situations usually transition from friendship/casual hanging out into something romantic?
• Would you recommend that I give him a clearer signal or initiate something myself? Do french guys like girls initiate? If so, what moves can I make / how can I make it clear?

Curious to hear how you would read this situation.

Question sérieuse ! J'ai regardé les boutiques qui ont été pillée par les casseurs et je n'ai vu aucune image de cette marque.

Financièrement comment c'est faisable pour ceux qui l'ont fait ? (Et qui sont célibataires et ne peuvent pas compter sur papa maman)

Après 30 ans l'alternance c'est plus possible. Les contrats de professionnalisation ça a l'air encore plus compliqué à trouver surtout dans certains secteurs et selon les formations (+ d'1 an). Et aussi quand on ne travaille pas en continue depuis + de 5 ans et qu'on ne peut pas bénéficier du dispositif démission-reconversion.

Comment on est sensés faire pour financer une formation qui va durer plus longtemps que les droits à l'ARE ? Pas juste payer le coût de la formation, mais pouvoir vivre pendant toute la durée de celle-ci.
