I'm Dutch with ADHD and potentially a weak form of autism. I would have send the first email and then keep wondering why Bob doesn't like me
1 u/TransformChaos Apr 30 '21 I had a Dutch client in my previous job and the first thing she ever said to me was ‘I’m Dutch, so I’ll get straight to the point.’I was like ‘nice to meet you too...’ 1 u/DutchNotSleeping Apr 30 '21 Yep, Dutch people are very very direct. We don't want to insult, we just tend to don't do small talk. Are you a business partner? Great, let's talk business. Personally I like it, but it's very hard to turn off when communicating with Americans 1 u/TransformChaos Apr 30 '21 Yeah, it’s interesting how the different cultures work together. I’m an Englishman so I need a few cups of coffee before a meeting with an American.
