I'll be going on a date with a girl I met at Rainbow that's from Mexico and doesn't speak English. I can sorta communicate with her through broken Spanish and random gestures, but the language barrier leaves out the option for my standard coffee and talk dates.

Where should I bring her? I need some way for us to communicate non-verbally. I had the idea of bowling, amusement parks, or movies... they don't sound like good ideas to me though.

I'm no expert AP about facing a language barrier, because I learned Spanish for 3 years in school, and my ex was Puerto Rican so I learned to communicate in Spanish. Anyway, I'm going to recommend you take her to a place that doesn't require much conversation (so leave things like coffee, or food out for now). However, your idea about an amusement park may be a nice plan as, it doesn't require much conversation, and you can lead her physically most of the time (grab her hand and take her to la rueda de feria/ ferris wheel). If you decide to do this, put in a little extra effort to get down some amusement park Spanish vocab.
-Hope this helps,
Richard

P.S. - I'm a little jealous, I love Spanish women, and haven't found a really good one yet, so make me PROUD! ;)

This may not help if you're not going for straight sex.. But I digress.

Women that follow your lead and do not know how to communicate with you verbally, will be dumbfounded as far as LMR goes. She doesn't know how to say "no, I don't really want to do this because of x and y and z reasons. She doesn't know how to articulate x and y and z. She'll either give you a hard "no!" or other than that you're free to keep leading. Just make sure you're interpreting any fuzzy signals as "yes" signals and leave the hard "no!" as the no-no you better step back a step type of reaction. Good luck, AP!!

Thanks Zphix! I'll try to work up the money for the amusement park then.. Still unemployed, but I can't just grab her coffee to talk anyway. I love Latinas too, and I was really intrigued to meet one that didn't speak English to see how that would play out.

NarrowJ, now that you mention it, I think I'm gonna like this situation... The communication will be easy too, and I won't have to get around hints. I think I'll be parking someplace vacant when I get to the fair then. Thanks brother!

Yep, NJ hit the nail on the head. With the few women that I have dated with language barriers, this is what happens. The main thing is to not let this get you down. Keep persisting -- well, obviously, don't keep persisting into rape. But, do a quick, spontaneous kiss and pull back. If she says "no," just realize that she's not able to fully articulate the reasons, so it may not actually mean "no" but instead mean "not right now, maybe later." Tone of voice is key!

Tone of voice is also key for you. I've had women tell me that my voice is so sexy, yet they couldn't understand most of what I said. Remember bedroom, deep, slow voice.

Because of the direct no's, you want to avoid obvious no questions more so than other girls. I've also gotten into problems getting caught into a no-ladder because of this -- which is just a downward spiral.

Another thing is that you may run into an area where you can't fully express yourself or she can't fully express herself. Instead of trying to persist on that topic (one of the few times I will say not to persist), change to a different topic. If you're on a really good topic, you can thread off on a sub-topic.

bowling, amusement parks, or movies

These may be okay if you have a 2nd place to transition her too. I'd say that an amusement-park-like place may be the best -- like a fair with little games you can do together. I've had okay experiences with bowling and movies, but they're always just "okay."

Actually, a museum or botanical gardens is actually not that bad. When conversation runs out, you just look at the "pretty" things. Then while looking at them, you think of some conversation. Also, while you walk around the place, you lead her with your hand on her lower back. You can lean in close and whisper in her ear, "Look at that!" The implied restriction of being silent helps with this in museums.

Therefore, I suggest a museum, the botanical gardens, or even billiards pool if really worried about language barriers (you can play a game while still getting more intimate/closer than bowling and more possible conversation). Here is a date that I've done before, and it went well, just substitute "botanical gardens" with wherever you would be going.

  • Bring a spanish-english book and a bag to hold food.
  • Go to a local grocery store and buy some finger food together (think picnic); I usually buy wine here, but you can get sparkling grape juice instead :D. Conversation can be about if she cooks, what food she likes, favorite non-spanish food, etc. You help each other pick out food and "accidentally" touch her hand a few times and lead her with hand on lower back.
  • Go to botanical gardens, park car a far ways out (private), and walk around looking at the beautiful flowers, etc. If you can't think of conversation, just go to some more plants. Use the book when necessary.
  • Find a spot to eat after a while and sit there in the grass and eat.
  • At the end of eating is where you want to make your moves. Either you can playfully eat dessert together or just put your arm around her and eventually get the kiss in.
  • You can try to get sex here. It depends on how good the date has been and how much she wants you. With the language barrier, you may not be able to, and you definitely won't be able to if it's crowded that day.
  • Move to the car (hopefully in a private area). Turn some music on and sit in the back seat with her. If you've already kissed in the gardens, you can hopefully start making out with her here. You can have dessert here instead if you want.

If you can, try to plan out the entire conversation before the night. This way you can go ahead and look up all of the words. This is a lot of effort though, and I don't suggest this unless you have a full day to kill...

Best of luck.
