My question to you.. Dating a 'foreigner'

[Jake]

Now.. This is really random and really weird however.
We have alot of 'foreign' people at work. Polish, russian, slovakian, ukrain etc
Now my question to you is..
Could you date someone who doesn't speak perfect english but is trying their hardest..
Now I understand it would be hard and all but aslong as you get along etc then I don't see a problem.
Im just kind of curious on everyone's views on it.

Can i just add I'm not thinking about dating anyone it was just something that got me thinking at work.

I think I'd struggle, but that's not a race thing or anything, I just really struggle to talk to people who don't speak great English - even if they're actually English themselves!

I think I would struggle dating someone who doesn't speak very good English. i find it hard to communicate with people at university who have a ok standard of english.
Although I find certain "foreign" people extremely hot!

I struggle A LOT with accents, so if he had a thick accent then it'd be a big no

So I think I wouldn't even get to know a person enough to discover I could date them tbh

iv d8ed ppl with portuguese and Chinese as their first languages and the portuguese guys were good @ english n it sounded sexy but the Chinese i cudnt rly understand n there was a barrier there because of it sooo as long as there's some sort of understanding then sure. n if ur only banging them then u don't need em to speak much english.

N if u rly like them u can learn their language like those 2 in love actually.

Like Laura, it's not a race thing at all I just think I would probably struggle.

if their English is really bad probably not but if they have a good conversational standard then of course. Have been with people whose first language wasn't English n have to say it's a bit of a turn on. Really good if they speak a language u would be interested in learning as well so u can teach eachoter

Would be great don't have to talk to them and if you're having an argument just be like soz don't get ya and strut away

It'd depend on their standard of English... if you're having to explain absolutely everything then obviously that'd drive you up the wall. But having to explain the odd things like mainly slang words? Done it before and it doesn't bother me or irk me in the slightest (although not to dates but to people close to the family).
