The only time I met people who I wouldn't call fake, but they were faking interest was in America. We hung out with a couple, went out to eat and had a great time and they said that they wanted to come to the Netherlands, so we said: oh you can come stay with us then. Oh how nice and all that. So once home we waited and waited. Ex contacted them. No reply. We were so puzzled. And later I found out that LOL they were just being polite.
A British comedian said: In America you don't know if the waitress likes you or if she's just being friendly, but in Holland you know for sure that she hates you.
