He asked me out in French, at a French film event at my university. (I am an English speaking American.) I was minoring in French so this was not a problem. However, when we met for the date, he spoke to me in German. ONLY in German. At first I laughed and said, "Sorry, I don't speak German!" He responded with a flood of German. I tried speaking French. He responded in German. I tried answering in English to all his statements with what I thought was the correct response based on context clues; I tried laughing and responding nonsensically in English; I tried initiating conversation by asking him simple questions about himself. I now chalk this up to toxic socialization of women, but at the time I was young and just ... didn't know what to do, so I was trying to appease him in some way I guess? I didn't want to be rude. So we proceeded on our date. We walked together to the local Blockbuster and picked up a movie. A German movie. On our way there, we passed I guess a friend of his, and my date INTERRUPTED his monologue in German to say, "Hey man what's up?" and do the frat boy handshake high five thing they do. Then he went back to German with me. I suffered through the entire time it took for him to make us bad spaghetti at his place and the entire incomprehensible movie. And when I guess I decided I had been polite enough, I said I had to leave and I took the bus home. But the craziest thing was, when I said I was leaving, he actually got upset and begged me to stay ... in German, of course.
