Reserved first impressions that warm with consistency
A handshake, not a hug or a kiss on the cheek, is the safest greeting in Lithuania, and a first meeting is usually understated - a quiet cafe or a walk rather than a grand gesture. Grand romantic displays this early tend to read as suspicious rather than romantic. Warmth arrives gradually, in response to steady, reliable attention rather than intensity, so a man who keeps showing up consistently will notice the reserve soften over several weeks.
