FireGoddess: what was it like when you first met her? Was it awkward?

They are from Europe (she said vaguely). His parents and I speak a little... a very little of each others'' first languages. And I''ve spent some time in their country, but not in their region which is supposed to be quite distinct. M has never brought a girl home before. It was his parents'' idea. He seems excited about it... I''m just NERVOUS!
I mean, how do you get to know someone without being able to make conversation?!
DMBfan: I''ve spent chunks of my life on three continents, and speak 5 languages... only 2 of them well, though. Hope you don''t mind if I keep the potentially-identifying-details private?
I was pretty nervous but it wasn''t too awkward. Even though I couldn''t say a lot of stuff to her the fact that I learned some things in her language was endearing to her. I also gave her a gift and had asked DH to translate what I wanted to say beforehand and I said those things when I gave it to her. Regardless of language barriers, intent and thoughtfulness are universal.Date: 2/12/2007 9:37:58 PM

I don''t know the rules though, can i post the link here or shall i e-mail you separately? They are in Queens and we are in Manhattan. I usually receive it right next day and still crunchy, buttery and not too sweet though. Wait, what am i saying, i need to get on a diet!!!![]()
I gotta wholeheartedly concur with that...for those 2 weeks that we were all together, if I was upset with him I would actually smile while I told him that ''we need to talk about this later because I am really mad'' just like I would if I were saying ''I love you dear.''Date: 2/13/2007 6:45:32 PM

- when I didn''t speak the language: bring a dictionary, smile a lot, watch tone of voice, try not to argue with bf even for fun or be too bossy.
