"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

These are not particularly useful languages compared to, say, Arabic or Chinese, but you could certainly look at State Department or Intelligence jobs. The government is happy to hire ex military, the private sector may not really know what to do with you, though you could consider going back to school for an MBA or something - be sure to play up the leadership angle on your application.

I'm not sure what the goal is here.

If you want to join the military, then join the military. There is plenty of travel in the military.

If you want to live abroad or travel abroad (outside the US), then live abroad or travel abroad.

If you want a civilian job with the government and have language skills or interest, and are open to living abroad, State Department or the Intelligence agencies are where I would start looking.
The State Department uses an exam as an initial screen:
You can take a practice test here:
This explains your initial career path, if selected:
