Language barrier

[martinM.]

There's a girl that works at a store that i go to fairly often. We usually say hi when we see eachother. Yesterday she had her co worker ask me if i had a girlfriend. I said no and she gave me her phone number. She calls me today and asks me if i want to go out sometime, i said yes. We're going out tomorrow evening. Anyway, the thing is she only speaks spanish and i understand very little spanish. So what i need to know is; is eachother one word or two words?

But seriously any advice on this?

Since when do women started given their numbers out to guys voluntarily and when the guy is not quick enough, they call the guy and book the date... Is she alright or simply desperate? Anyway, you can have a blast without necessary speaking the same language. I'll say the most difficult part is setting up a date, which you already achieved successfully. She knows what she wants, and you know what you want. It is all in your body language, facial expression.... for fault proof date, I'll bring Webster Spanish-English dictionary along, in case you need it.

I was going to wait until the weekend was over to call, but she called first. I've gotten numbers voluntarily from girls before, it didn't seem like a problem.

Just keep it simple.

Try to converse in her language while teaching her your language and vis versa.

Its best if you do some sort of activity that doesn't require alot of talking just like playing pool in a bar.

You don't need to say much when you go for a kiss either, its all universal from there on.

Date went really well. There was not a lot of talk, but it wasn't awkward silence.

If both personalities click well then this is pretty much more of a side issue that can be worked on.

 

[martinM.]

I agree, that's the way i'm looking at it.

Hey, they sell those.. lil' hand held translators.. you type stuff in.. and it speaks it in the other language!

Just got back from the second date a few hours ago. Everything went well. There was kissing and some light touching but not being able to speak her language has me thinking how important flirting really is. It's different.

Learning spanish is one thing but being able to flirt... i dont know that i'm going to learn in time.
