Odd couple

I met these people, and for all I know they met on CS although that would be a fantastic coincidence and, if they read this blog, a little embarrassing. So I shall say nice things. They ARE nice.

He is, I don't know, middle-aged, very fit and bronzed, good-looking, with a drop-dead-gorgeous French accent for the perhaps 2 dozen English words he knows. Which is about as many French words as I know. He does also speak a little Spanish. About as much as I do. That's really not a lot of Spanish.

She is a little younger, mid to late forties? extremely attractive, Spanish, lives a few hours up the coast from here. She speaks no French and no English.

They are staying a week. Would you go away on holiday with someone you basically couldn't understand or speak to except in the most general of terms? For a week?

Has to be said right now I could elope with anyone up to and including a Russian serial killer - but not for a week. I think we'd run out of things to do and say within about 48 hours but that may be because I am very shallow.

If we didn't speak the same language, I mean. I never ever run out of things to talk about. You might have noticed.

I do listen too. No, really.

I wouldn't.
I like to be able to communicate.
Hell, communication is difficult enough sometimes in the same language, not to mind anything else.

Merc, they're not staying anywhere expensive or lavish there are no $$$$$$ being thrown around!

Talking really matters to me, but perhaps there's something to be said for not being able to. Wow. I might be able to keep my foot out my mouth

They look good together. And how many couples talk, really?

Maybe it's the kind of thing you only realise you shouldn't have done after you've done it.

One of them are in it for something and that something isn't a future unless of course they attend sign language classes.

Harb, that's why I said they weren't kids, you'd think before now people from the two countries known for refusing to speak other languages would have realized this could present a problem

It's frustrating even when you can speak their language a bit.
You just can't say exactly what you want to. It's exasperating.

Merc I think they are in it for each other and best of luck to them (I need that little green emoji I keep requesting) and I obviously don't know if this is their first holiday together, but a week is a long time. She's in her own country, she'll be able to chat to people anywhere, but he's going to have to shut up a lot. Or learn Spanish really quickly. Maybe that's part of the attraction, though

Molly, to go back to your first comment, difficult enough to communicate sometimes when you do speak the same language.

Made me very restless. Maybe I'm being silly looking for someone I can 'talk' to and 'listen' to. Is it such a big deal?

I think those are pretty acceptable expectations, Biff

When my parents married in 1957, they didn't speak the same language. My dad had to give my mum a surreptitious nudge with his elbow to let her know when to say, "I do."

Over 61 years later, they're still an odd couple.

Biff , couples come in every shape and form.
Some do seem to survive having little in common.
But what is the point in just surviving.
I want to have fun, not just survive.

Jac that is so cool! What was your mom's home language, and do you speak it?

My in-laws met in Germany just after the war but she did speak some English. When he took her back to England she watched every episode of Coronation Street slavishly to learn more, her German-Corrie accent was a treat,.

Molly, I can only say he is really hot. And that accent, mon Dieu! How's your French?

Hmm, top timing, I have a mail from a German dude who is blown away by my beautiful smile.

He's really tall. I mean REALLY tall. 7' tall. And in one pic with a bunch of others he looks perfectly normal height so he knows a lot of really tall people too.

So exciting.
