Milfner Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The girl I like at work is Hungarian so I've been learning little bits, just a few very basic phrases and I've used them in the past when we've spoken on the instant messenger at work but do girls appreciate it if you try to learn their language or does it make you look like you're trying far too hard? I have less experience with girls than the Villa first team have with football so I am pretty useless! I'd say just keep it to single words like please, thank you, hello. Start reeling off sentences then it will look like you're a bit desperate to impress (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect if the woman quite likes you she will appreciate it. If she doesn't like you much it will be an excuse to think you're trying too hard. Either way, it's a good way to progress things and find out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Splitting up with the missus after 3 years and a few months I feel for you buddy. As others have said, keep busy, have some drinks, see your mates a lot. I broke up with my girlfriend of 18 months a few weeks ago (not as long as 3 years, but I did think she was the one), and my friends were really supportive. Even if it was just to come to my house and watch TV. Keep busy, try not to think about her or the break-up. I've found that facebook and twitter have been my worst enemy. Every time I logged on I would put in her name just to see what she's been upto. It's times like this that I wish social networking didn't exist! (Except for VT, of course!)

Shillzz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 last 3 days arguing over minor things, giving it another month before we decide what to do From my experience, you either need to find a way of getting the relationship moving back in the right direction, or end it. If there's still trust & love there, then I think the rest can be fixed, but you have to both want it to be right, otherwise it won't happen.

I have less experience with girls than the Villa first team have with football so I am pretty useless! All situations and people are different so you have to judge on those variable. That being said, I wouldnt learn it if I was in your situation for the following reasons: 1) In my opinion a lot of girls could see that as trying to hard 2) I never want a girl to think im trying to impress her and would prefer it to think she needs to impress me What I would do is use google translate over your messages and claiming in a joking manner that you learnt hungarian… you will obviously get busted but I think can definatly help with the flirting. (I did this with a finish girl I dated) But like I said, each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 last 3 days arguing over minor things, giving it another month before we decide what to do Me and my ex did the same thing, but it ended up going on for months and months. I'd say, if you can see it's not working then don't drag it out too long because you'll only make it worse for you both. If you can see a way to work things out and get the relationship back on track, then it has to be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Been married one year today. We've had our our moments but I still look forward to seeing her walk through the door. I still get that pang of excitement when we meet up outside and I see her walking towards me. She makes a mean brew aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 28, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) When a relationship ends, you cut out all forms of communication immediately by deleting any means you have of contacting her, then you get royally drunk and play Football Manager for a week then re-enter the world a new man, a man with unkempt facial hair and an intimate knowledge of the German second division.

Jimzk5 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It mainly centers around how often we see each other, both working long hours and commitments after work only leaves the weekend, time that evidently she would rather spend with people other than me.

BOF Posted January 28, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 28, 2013 Obviously it's hard to advise when you don't know how the 2 people usually socialise within work but certainly on the face of it I'd say learning any Hungarian will definitely be a fairly transparent move. That's not a bad thing though. Now it'd be different if it was a language you'd come across normally, like a French, Spanish or German. At least then you could be seen to reasonably know a basic vocabulary without suspicion. But Hungarian? Any words you're likely to know in that language, IMO (and assuming she's not totally oblivious - they rarely are), give a fairly blatant hint that you only know them to use on her. But don't get me wrong. That could be a very good thing! If she likes you then you're quids in (read - sorted). If not, then at least you know where you stand.Don't die wondering.
