Mentality
The Dutch mentality can be typified best with this statement: act normal, than you're acting crazy enough. In general the Dutch don't like extravert behaviour, and moderation in all things is greatly appreciated. The Dutch like honesty and openness and do not beat around the bush. They are thrifty with their money and make their decisions after ample consideration. It may take a while to become friends, because Dutch people prefer to know what they are dealing with. But once you've concluded a friendship, Dutch people work hard toward maintaining that friendship.
