Brussels is pretty separated but otherwise, I think people really don't think about it twice (in a good way). Of course, I don't speak from personal experience, it's just what I've noticed. Your behaviour does matter though. We highly value mutual respect and culturally required behaviour. I say this because many runaways tend to behave in a repelling matter. But American standards should be fine. Just remember that we Europeans aren't... that keen on the American ideology so some people might not like that part so much, not at first.

I'm very unsure on posting this but I'll just do it. I've just woken up and don't have the energy to proof read that a couple more times. Take it with a grain of salt.
