'old' UK man invite young German female to sauna?

14 years ago

I am visiting Hamburg next week. I have been to German sauna before so I am familiar with nudity in sauna.

I am 40+ and from the UK. I plan to spend half the day in a large sauna near Hamburg. Early evening I will be meeting a 21 year old German female (for the first time), who I only know through a few emails and phone calls.

Our meeting has nothing to do with forming a relationship or sex.

How appropriate is it for me to invite her to join me in the sauna?

Apart from the fact that there is no nudity in UK saunas, if I were to invite a 21 year old British girl to the sauna, the answer would be no, the meeting would be cancelled and there would probably be zero future communications.

I do not want to simply invite her - assuming that it is the German way.

But I do not want to not invite her and then tell her later that I had just spent the last 4 hours in a sauna and did not invite her.

I am sure there is a correct answer to this - but my British upbringing means I have no clue what to do.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks Jonno
