Your Brit in America...

Lol! Have you guys seen "Love Actually"?? My fiancee loves Collin in that movie because of his whole idea of "if your having woman troubles in England, move to any place in America and go to a bar and you'll get all the girls!"....My fiancee says that Idaho should have been one of the options on that movie! 

Nah, when I take J to the US, no one can understand him - and they certainly don't think he sounds like anyone from the films- so it's not all that sexy. They don't even know where to ask where he's from, because they're confused as hell. 
He's got a Geordie/Scottish Highland cross accent, which sounds like he's also stuttering/speaking with a lisp, which I find quite endearing and very unqiue to him, but no one else can understand him- not even anyone who lives around here!! 

To the OP, being from Idaho, you might be able to appreciate that DH and I met when we were students together in Rexburg, ID.  For those who don't know Rexburg, it's about as small town as small town gets--there are smaller places, but this is an area where a lot of the students have not travelled much further than a few hours from home in their lives.

DH admits that when he first arrived it was fun to see all the attention he got from girls . . . The novelty lasted about a month, I think   He was fond of telling the story of the day he received a phone call from a complete stranger who told him she was looking in the student directory and saw that he is English.  "I love English accents," she crooned. "Will you go on a date with me?"  Believe it or not, he went on the date, which turned out to be his worst ever (serves him right ).

We joke that one of the reasons he was attracted to me was that I treated him like a normal person and didn't fall at his feet swooning over his accent.

  My friends obviously love Danny's accent, however, they love him impersonating Americans more.  At my rehearsal dinner we spent most of the time listening to him try to trick the waiter into thinking he was a local.  Mostly we laughed at how he sounded like either George Bush, or a Ninja Turtle (Totally Radical Man!). 
    I think I get more attention here than he gets over there.  I'm constantly getting the "Where you from love?" "Why are you living here instead of California?" "Wanna take me to California? *Wink Wink*" 
   
     As far as people hitting on him back in the US goes, I think I was prepared for that- He is a handsome devil.  Most people think he is Irish though, not English. I think he sounds a bit like Ringo when he lays it on thick: makes me laugh every time!

REXBURG!?!? LOL! Wow!! I do appreciate that!! I bet he was a novelty for a while there! (It's soo little over there!)

Dave tries to mimick cowboys: "Why hi there hunny!!"....It's pretty funny. His BF (Who funny enough is also a Dave!) Loves the work "Duuuude"...MY fiance likes to tease us more with funny "I thought America liked...", "I thought Americans did..."....The first time he came to visit me he walked out of the airport looking all confused and I asked him what was wrong and he goes "Where are all the dirt roads and horses with their buggies?!?! You mean you have a car!?!? I thought I was coming into the wild west!"....LOL! He had me for a minute, but I learned that even though he's a good actor, his eye's twinkle when he's teasing...give's him away to me, but other people always fall for his fake naive-ness!

REXBURG!?!? LOL! Wow!! I do appreciate that!! I bet he was a novelty for a while there! (It's soo little over there!)

Yeah, it was definitely a novel experience for him, especially after growing up in London!  We both came to love Idaho though and see it as a second home.  I count that as home, even though I didn't grow up there--although I tend to think of areas around there more as home than Rexburg itself since I spent 6 years in IF and just my first two years of uni in Rexburg.  DH and I both went on to transfer to a much larger university, but it was definitely a unique experience starting there.

I will admit though, I probably get as much attention here.  Everyone around here seems to think I'm nuts for wanting to come here instead of us moving to the States.  I think it's a grass is always greener thing going on.

My husband gets a huge head whenever anyone gushes over his accent.  We've had a few funny experiences since he's been here.  Once he called the local video game shop to find out if they had the cables or something he needed and he sent me to pick them up for him.  When I got there, I asked the girl behind the counter about them and she went on and on about having talked to my husband and what a sexy accent he had.  She was nearly flirting with him, through me!  Too funny.  I went from there to another place he had called ahead on and it was almost the same thing, except at this place, it was a guy!  I couldn't wait to get home and tell him both of them thought his voice was sexy!  

  He’s from North London and I just don’t get how when he asks for a bottle of water it takes several tries for the person to get it right. 

It's funny that you chose that example, because when I taught English in France last year (where they generally learn strictly British English) they wouldn't understand when I said "bottled water" unless I feigned a British accent.

I live in the Midwest and my boyfriend didn't really get a lot of comments when he came a few weeks ago, except one person who asked if he was from New Zealand and another who asked if he was looking forward to the royal wedding.

I grew up in small town NE PA.  I had so many people gushing over Roy's slightly posh London accent.  But it does get a bit old after a while for people to say "say something". I get comments about my accent here, being told that it is lovely. (I don't have the typical accent from my neck of the woods, which they might not like)

we just came back from a holiday in the states and my 2 neices who are 6 and 7 are just enthralled with my husband and his accent..they even started trying to talk like him while he was there..and they were asking him all kinds of questions about how he says different things..it was very cute

When DH came to New York with me he was disappointed that no one mentioned his accent at all. He was expecting people to gush. Instead, they just treated him like a regular person.
