This girl, who comes from Frankfurt, and I have been dating a little over two months, since she came to the US to study this semester. I really like her. She's everything I want in a gf... sweet, determined, sincere, beautiful...not a fake like so many girls I know. The only problem is She's Like seriously gullible and doesn't understand American sarcasim. I am trying to help her but im getting tired of having to explain Myself all the time as if im talking to a 6 year old! Plus my friends have noticed and Im afraid shes going to get strung along and hurt. Parties are dangerous affairs for her and I hesitate to take her... How can I help her understand American culture better? Will she learn? Will she always be kind of "magoo?" (for lack of a better word)

Maybe the only one who thinks you're funny is......you.

If it were just me that she didn't understand, you would probably be on to something. But its others as well. Now maybe I need all new friends, who take everything literally, all the time, so that she would feel more comfortable but thats not really realistic. She wants to be "in my life" but theres a language and cultural barrier.

as i am having a master´s degree in cynism and, as well, in sarcasm and i am a german girl, maybe - without using these devices of eloquence - she is just not as good with the english language as she would need to be to understand your kind of humor.
maybe she is totally lacking understanding of sarcasm in german, too, but this would make look her just "dumb".

people losing their humor.

especially in a "serious" nation as germany.

i know many really sarcastic people, but sarcasm is "negativity".

and many as well don´t understand it here, but from my experience, it´s the dumb ones who don´t understand it, as "brain" and the ability to think "around the edge" (as we say here) is needed to understand sarcasm.

Isn't it supposed to be, "She always laughs at my jokes when I'm banging her. In fact I just asked my football team on twitter, and they all said that she laughs at their jokes while they are banging her to".
