Hi, thanks for the forum; lots of very useful information 
I was wondering how people here feel about accents when it comes to girls and your game in general.
Basically I was born and raised and Europe in a non English speaking country, even though I learned English as my second language in school, we would barely ever speak it so even though I understood well the grammar and vocab I was impossible to understand when speaking.
Before I came to the U.S I lived in England for almost a year(8 months) that's where I learned most of the English I know, and I picked up the London (RP) accent.
I thought people in the States would speak like this too, but no one does. So now I'm in my first year of high school (11th grade). I'm very confident, not insecure, good looking, fit, smart, fairly known around the school.
I've been very successful with girls else where, but I've always been told girls here are much different.
Anyways, my main problem is when girls approach me or I make an approach, it almost ALWAYS goes from "hi, hello", "my name is.." to "OMG, where u from", "thats a cool accent" or "thats a cute accent".
I know all that is good but I can't picture it ever getting sexual, it seems like they just want to talk about the world, where they've been, or how much they want to visit Europe, etc.
So, my question is: How can I use being a foreigner to my advantage, and should I try and adopt an American accent?
Thanks Alot
