I am trying to learn Russian because I want to be able to communicate with her. It's on me as a man to do this in my eyes... do what is necessary to make this all happen and learning Russian is just part of it.
It really isn't that difficult. You're not going to be fluent in a month but a few bucks and some time invested in listening to some mp3s and books should mean something to her and probably her family. If nothing else, you'll be a more well rounded human being. After all, how many of your high school buddies speak more than 4 words in Russian?
Great attitude!
As to her having things to tell you but not having the words, I'd read that as more of her liking you more and more and wanting to share thoughts on a deeper level and more indepth, not just intimacy. That is a compliment from her to you.
Thank you, Mendy. Your insight does mean a lot to me. We really haven't been intimate at all and I could care less. She actually asked me to extend my visit with her while I was there, but I couldn't. Then asked me to come back so we could be together for New Years, but again unfortuantely I couldn't.
I did play a fun game with her at dinner one night. She wanted me to speak Russian and loves when I do. She says my accent is very good. I wanted her to speak English but she wants to speak fluently and be perfect before she does so. I made a deal with her. I would speak in Russian and she would repeat back in English. I spoke a few sentences such as "maybe tomorrow we could have lunch together" and "I don't want to leave" and "I want another beer" and then I hit her with "ya tebya lublue". She smiled wide, threw her hands wide and said "I love you too" with the greatest smile!!!
As a side benefit of learning Russian I am able to blow the minds of unsuspecting Russian and Ukrainian folks here in the states. It has gotten me and my kids invited to family picnics and I was even taught to eat sunflower seeds like a real Russian! I have been surprised by how many Russian and Ukrainian folks live in my area. We even have a food store owned by a Ukrainian couple with all Russian and Ukrainian foods.
