Someone gets a new drink and another round of toasting starts up again.

I nervously go from person to person trying not to spill my wine, trying to make eye contact,

and just in general trying not to look too nervous about the whole thing as I go.

Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad.

As I mentioned in my awkward cheek kisses video, there are many things here in Germany

that I have really gotten used to and even gotten quite good at doing.

But like the double cheek kiss thing, toasting here in Germany is something that after 7

years of living here, I'm still pretty awkward at.

For one, here in Germany it's considered bad luck not to look people directly in the

eyes when you clink glasses with them.

In fact they say that not doing this could get you 7 years of bad sex.

But I'm just over here trying not to spill my wine all over the table.

I'm not always the most graceful person in the world.

In fact, I can be downright clumsy a lot of the time.

And so when I have a delicate little wine glass in my hand, especially when I'm trying

to hold it pinched between my fingers like you're apparently supposed to do for some reason.

I don't know why, because this feels like a very top-heavy situation to me with all the

liquid in here.

So I need all the concentration that I can muster zeroed in on my own glass as I move

it through the air and then gently, oh so gently, tap it against someone else's glass.

But alas, I know that in Germany it's customary to make eye contact, so what I usually end

up doing is, like, half looking at the person, but then, sort of, darting my eyes back and

forth between their gaze and my glass, their gaze and my glass, and I'm guessing that

in the end I just sort of end up looking anxious or scared as I try my best to

toast glasses with them.

In addition to all of that though, in the U.S., what I'm used to is only toasting

glasses one time at the beginning of a meal when everyone gets their first drink, and

sometimes not even then.

In my experience we toast glasses in the U.S. only if it's some sort of special occasion.

A girl's night out, a birthday party, anniversary, some sort of holiday.

But if I'm just having lunch with a couple of friends or I'm meeting a friend at a

casual restaurant, we're not dressed up, we're just ordering sodas, we're probably not

going to toast glasses.

Not even once at the beginning.

While in Germany it's been my experience that clinking glasses happens at most meals

that I have with my friends, whether it's out to eat at a fancy restaurant or just meeting

up at a casual bar-restaurant around the corner, or even just eating a relaxed meal at home.

And I've also learned that toasting glasses can happen not once, not twice, not three

times, but an infinite number of times during a meal or a night out in Germany.

For example, if someone finishes their drink and then gets a new one, well then everyone

toasts glasses all over again.

Or if a certain special song gets played at Oktoberfest, which they seem to do every time

I turn around, then everyone has to toast their glasses again.

And by everyone, I mean everyone.

That's another difference I've noticed.

In the U.S. if you're sitting six people around a table, and you all get your drinks

at the beginning, it's a special night, someone says, "Cheers!" and raises their

glass towards the center, everyone else would probably just kind of pick up their glass

and come in toward the center.

You might not technically end up meeting everyone's glass with your own.

It's often just one big symbolic toasting.

If there's someone at the other end of the table that you really wanted to toast glasses

with, but you just couldn't reach, then you might do this move: the silent

glass lift and nod.

In Germany, everyone clinks glasses with everyone else.

Most of the time. But sometimes not.

And that is where Awkward Dana strikes again.

Sometimes at even bigger events, of like 15 people or more, sometimes just one section

of the table over here will start toasting, and not the other half over here.

But somehow I end up getting caught right in the middle, and I don't know if I'm

part of the toasting side or the non-toasting side.

So I just sit there, again, totally awkward, waiting to see if anyone is going to invite

me into the toast or not.

It is so embarrassing to admit this out loud.

So my question for you is: What is the custom of toasting glasses where you live and are

you awkward at this too, or is it just me?

Please let me know in the comments below.

Thanks so much for watching.

I really hope that you enjoyed this video.

And of course, as always, I hope you will also enjoy the bloopers that are coming up next.

Until next time, auf Wiedersehen!

So! So!

See if I can talk and hold a wine glass at the same time.

Okay, I got the wine.

It is a lot more embarrassing to admit this out loud than I thought it was going to be.

And I've also learned that toasting glassens...glassens. - Glassens?
