Demanding

• I am an adult, not a schoolboy, and I am more or less stuck here because of work. Germans mostly seem nice on the outside but soon you find they are often very emotionally demanding. A lot of the people I know seem to want sort of formal confirmation of friendship all the time, they don't see it in my behaviour at all I think. It's like I should give them a secret handshake or something on departing. Others are completely over the top - a woman I knew for a couple of years wanted me to move to her town. She is just a friend, no sex etc but she just thought it would be good if I found a flat in her town and moved there. She didn't ask me, she just sort of said it would be a good idea. Peculiar. It's hard to know if Germans are really different or not, they are sort of living in their own world somehow. Maybe it's the language.
