Would you go out on a date with some one, who didn't speak your language?

Interesting topic! I personally don't think I am smart enough to learn a second language so dating someone who doesnt speak english would never work for me because it would just be to hard. My brother in law met a girl who didnt speak english. They started dating and he taught her english. They wound up married and have a gorgeous little boy. I think it is just so romantic how he took the time to teach her english and are so happy together.

Even though it would probably be very difficult I would love to date someone who didn't speak the same language as me. I would love to date this person because it would be a learning experience on both ends of the date. It would take cooperation and bargining on both ends so that we will be able to understand what we were trying to engage in converstation about with one another. I think it would be difficult signing to one another but sooner or later we'd get on one accord and just know and once we just knew what we were trying to say to each other then we'd be able to have a great time teaching each other what this and that is called in our native languages.

No. I would have learned some very important sentences in his language before the date or I wouldn't go.

Very imaginative idea! If at all I am invited to go for a date with someone who does not speak my language, I would surely like to go and would try to converse with the other fellow with gestures and in sign languague. I believe, it would be a great fun communicating with someone without knowing any language. I believe, we people have some qualities and we can understand the other fellow's feelings without any language being spoken.

Assuredly not! Why? First, of course because I'm married and not interested in dating, but under other circumstance the answer would be the same. It is hard enough to overcome the language barriers between two people who speak the same language. There could be too many dangerous misunderstandings between two such people. It would be better to keep any possible friendship on a platonic level. No dating.

No! I would be so caught up in trying to make that person understand me that I would feel uncomfortable and the mutual attraction thing would never happen. I think I would rather not. However I would be friends with such a person

i have had a date once with a man that hardly spoke english and it was too difficult, I do not think I will ever try that again, there are just so many things you cannot communicate, you cannot properly express your feels because neither of you really understand what the other is saying and you are only guessing and much of the time the guess is wrong and it is frustrating for both of you

l would never go out with a person that did not speak English,that is my native language...I would feel very awkward to be with someone that i could not communicate with, it would be impossible to even hold a converastion..

I can't imagine me ever doing that - I love to both talk and to listen and if I couldn't understand the other person and they couldn't understand me then it wouldn't be enjoyable for me. I've tried to learn other languages in the past and it just didn't work for me - guess I have enough trouble handling one language.

I think it would depend on the situation. If I was very interested and excited about this person, of course I would date him. the language of love is all you need lol. I actually did have an on line relationship with a guy from Brazil, quite a few years ago. He sent me emails in Portugese and English. it was very interesting and I did learn some Portugese.

If I were single and the opportunity arose then I don't see any reason why I wouldn't sweety! I once watched my brother (who lives in Spain right next to Gibraltar) have a conversation with an ex colleague in the street for about 15 minutes. Nothing unusual about that right? Wrong - he didn't speak a word of Spanish and she spoke no English! It was bizarre and very surreal but they found a way of speaking to and understanding one another - there is always a way! xxx

i don't think i'll go out on a date with some who don't speak english or tagalog. i'm pretty sure we'll be having a hard time understanding each other. Yeah it does make sense that we use sing language, but i don't think we'll enjoy the date since its really hard.

not unless their was an interpretur for us so that we would be able to communicate. but that would get old and I wouldhave to say the relationship would not last. LOL!

I think that be it a date or you meet that person some other way. If you can connect with them with out words, that is even better. who needs to run their mouth with words to express how they feel. Sometimes its all in the actions they do and in this case the gesters and motions they do. This reminds me of a couple form the movie "Love Actually", hes an English man and shes Portuguese. They cant really understand eachother with the language berrior, but when it comes time for them to part they really care for eachother. Long story short, they do try to learn the others language and he finds her again. I know its just a movie, but if amazing things like that can not happen in real life, then real life is not very romantic. So i say why not, you never know what you are getting yourself into. You never know who the love of your life will turn out to be.

Yes I would if he appealed to me in other ways and was a real gentleman. If there were sparks, I could learn the other language in time. It may be frustrating at times but well worth it.

I am not going at all.
