I pretended to be Italian for 6 months just because a girl said she liked accents.

r/

Met this girl at a party. She said, “I just love European accents, like Italian guys sound soooo hot.”

I had 2 options:

Be myself.

Say “Ciao bella, I-a like-a the pizza too.”

Obviously I chose option 2.

Long story short, I became Luca from Florence. I committed. I watched tutorials. I started using my hands aggressively while talking. I sprinkled “mamma mia” into serious conversations. I told her my family made olive oil. I don’t even cook.

We dated for 6 months. She took me to Olive Garden once and I almost cried from guilt.

It ended when I accidentally responded to her “Ti amo” with “lol same.”

I still think about her sometimes. Not sure if I miss her… or just the pasta guy I became.

TL;DR: Lied about being Italian to impress a girl. Became fluent in guilt and lasagna.

    This honestly is a great relatable story

    I once pretended to be English.while.being Dutch. I told them I was from a particular place in Ireland hence the accent

    Pretended for a whole week to be oblivious of what was happening with these two attractive Dutch girls (I was in my teens) and on the last day I just said “haha wat kijken jullie ineens raar” and booked it, lol

    Omg, Luca from Florence in the flesh! 🍝 Guess you were really cookin’ up some fake pasta love there. At least you got a taste of those Italian vibes, even if the linguine of lies got al dente at the end. Hope Olive Garden still feels like home!
