Here's our A to Z guide on navigating the Italian dating scene. Ardo Beltz Let's start at the beginning. Be persistent Men, take note. Conquer by cooking Italians are frequently excellent cooks, so expect to be cooked for! Dutch dates The general convention in Italy is that the guy will pay for your date, so gentlemen should make sure they bring enough money to cover the bill in case she doesn't offer to chip in. Early As in, 'don't bother being on time'. Be warned - the turning point is normally when you go to dinner at their parents' house. Gender roles Generally speaking, there is a more defined division of gender roles in Italy, which could cause problems for the first-time Italian dater.

High maintenance Let's just say that it's no coincidence that the word 'diva' is an Italian word. Intimacy Generally speaking, Italians are much more touchy-feely, which can cause a headache when it comes to reading the signs. You might just be in the dreaded 'friend zone'.

Look good If you're going on a date with anybody from any nationality you should always put a bit of effort into how you look. No 'No' means 'no' in both English and Italian - men, take note. Odd numbers Gift giving is always tricky.

Play hard to get As a general rule, Italian women are good at this, so don't expect this to be easy guys. On any Saturday or Sunday, I can choose from at least 10 games on my basic cable package. Football fans in the US tend to focus their attentions on the Premier League , which has as much to do with the crispness of its presentation as the action on the pitch.

The periphery is perfect: But, more than anything, the games are so watchable because of the commentary. NBC, who show all Premier League matches live in the US, do not put out the exact same broadcast as the one shown in the UK, but they do employ commentators with British presenters, which lends everything immediacy and authenticity. This is what sets the Premier League apart from the rest of the big European leagues.

When we watch games from Spain, Germany, France or Italy, we are watching something in translation. I have followed Italian football intently for more than half of my life — especially during the three years I spent living there — but I increasingly find myself watching Serie A games without the sound as it almost feels like a contaminant.

Italians even have their own name for the game: The key exchange occurs early in the film as Alice and Dan discuss how essential euphemisms are in his job: What would my euphemism be? That's not a euphemism. Alice's up-front and open behavior causes him to let down his guard and feel a higher level of emotion, but his need to make new conquests and to test his attractiveness soon reasserts itself.

She is willing to forgive this until finally convinced that he cannot transcend something so much a part of his basic nature. With this realization she falls out of love. Mark Ruffalo plays Coles the Dan character in that film , but Law's portrayal is more convincing because he does not have to alternate between rebel and wimp, something that Ruffalo could not quite pull off. All four performances are solid although Roberts is given very little with which to work.

Portman is especially good. The problem with "Closer" is that its symbolic message is not getting through to most viewers at least it would appear so from the many clueless reviews and comments who try to relate to it on a literal level.

But if you like abstract tales deceptively showcased in a realistic package you should really enjoy this fine film. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child. Closer is possibly the most accurate and realistic depiction of contemporary love. The notion of true love in today's context is lost among a sea of infidelity, deception, lust, betrayal, jealously, cynicism, objectification, technology and vindication.

Despite being set in slightly surreal environments such as a photo exhibition and a strip club, the writers and actors have successfully conveyed the emotions that run through typically dysfunctional relationships. In the end, the people involved in the web are either very certain of their own feelings finally or are so overwhelmed with rage that they become vindictive. Julia Roberts hasn't got much for her role to begin with, but she shows a certain delicateness, straddling between guilt and liberty with her role that makes a performance that is sufficiently pleasurable.

Jude Law packs both a cold yet emotive performance as a cheating boyfriend and later a desperate man stuck nowhere in both relationships. A performance good enough to warrant for an Oscar nod but none sadly. Natalie Portman is stunning with middling traces of girlish vulnerability and womanly salacity, a role that won her the covted Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress.

The most powerful performance must come from Clive Owen who starred in the original play. He's the one who's drawn into a destructive relationship with Roberts and turns sinister when trying to win her back through a series of confrontations and psychological manoeuvers. Both Portman and Owen have done exceedingly well to have overshadowed the leads in this case. All in all, a stellar cast and choice perfomances. Do check out the cybersex chat between Owen and Law; now that's hilarious.
