Going on a date with a girl that only speaks Spanish... I don’t speak Spanish
- Thread starter tellNoel
- Start date
Anyone saying phone translation would/should be cute have never had to do this for the long run. You'll never truly know each other unless you speak each others language enough to be coherent of the other's meaning and tone, so you'll never be able to know kf you'd want to truly continue dating this person enough that you'd be inspired to take classes.
Unless this is a hook-up, abandon ship. I've done it before in China a handful of times and they always went south.

How did it go OP?
Don't worry about the language barrier, just use body language and a translator app in the short term. Try learning some Spanish, there is a lot of free apps that can teach you.
One of my co workers is dating someone from Columbia and he has been teaching himself Spanish, getting really good at it too.

Can you recommend one of those apps?
As for OP, learning a language is fun as a couple. Maybe hand her a syllabus, sit her down at a library and get in a few hours of work on noun verb agreement before the dancing.

First off, this thread was awesome. A lot of you were very supportive and I really appreciate that.
Now, let me not keep you in anticipation any longer.
I'd be lying if I told you that last night wasn't one of the funnest nights I've had in a very very long time.
It started off a little uncomfortable, I'm not going to lie. She even told me how nervous she was. Her palms were soo sweaty lol (knees weak, arms were-_ nvm).
But I told her to just relax and that it's going to be fine. I was cool as a cucumber so that hopefully it would rub off.
It did. Once we got dancing, we started talking more using my limited spanish and the translate app. I would type some cute stuff and show it to her and she'd just smile from ear to ear.
We started at a place with american music but she wasn't feeling it, so i took her to a Latin club and that's when shit heated up. This girl knows how to dance so well.
This is where I kissed her again since the last time we hungout. Didn't want to rush into it lol. Wasn't sure if she was just being nice and letting me kiss her until at one point she grabbed my face out of no where and brought me in haha good times.
To fast forward, I took her home because she has some stuff to do really early in the morning. I got home at 6 in the mornin' like you hear in those rap songs.
But things got very interesting in my car, and I'll leave it like that.
I'm seeing her again this Friday and she said she'll be able to stay over at my house next time. So, that should be fun.
Thanks again guys, I'm glad a lot of you really helped me gain the courage to go through with this amazing night. One for the books, for sure!

This makes me smile so much because there was a point where I said a word and I forgot to roll my R's, so I repeated by rolling it hyperbolically and she started laughing so hard. it was an ongoing joke throughout the night that made us both laugh :D

You did it OP, next time tell her Con ese culo has de cagar bombones and she´s gonna fall in love
Yes!!! Glad you weren't discouraged. Language barriers usually result in some of the best date experiences; letting the body language dominate will make the night that much epic, and yours did.
Now learn her language and watch her learn yours, it's going to be a fun summer.

I'm already RSVPing for the wedding in 3 years.
I was just thinking about China. LOL. Even when you speak the language, when you can't speak it fluently or understand every word, it's awkward as hell. This isn't a rom com.
And don't leave out Era's involvement. We are part of this now. ;)
It's a world's first, usually we already fail at anal hygiene
Fuck the haters. Use a phone translator and have some fun. People in this thread don't know what they're missing.
EDIT: oh fuck you've already sealed the deal

He took a situation which half the thread said was going to be a disaster, and succeeded. Look at how many posts say to bail or that "it's not a romcom, don't do it". And then you have the good job and congrats posts so clearly he did something right.
Either way I was just being facetious.
I thought that what some sort of weird Spanish slavery. That movie is so fucked up when u think about it. But congrats 2 op.
Glad it worked out OP and that you didn't listen to the naysayers (those type of people never have cool things happen to them lol).
