Charmed iam sure.
Judging by your gentlemanly demeanor (as I have so far experienced it), it is unlikely that you would find me aiming such derision in your direction.

However there are some men who seek to impress or arouse the affections of naive young ladies by assuming a somewhat, shall we say, "continental" persona in which the use of various presumably more "romantic" languages often plays a large part.

When this is done in a lighthearted manner and all parties concerned are equally in on the joke, as it were, I have no objection to it.

When it is done to create the pretense of "romance" where none in fact exists (or where none would exist if the perpetrator did not stoop to such tactics), it is another matter entirely.

Just my opinion as a not-so-young lady who has already been to the rodeo on a few occasions.
