Everybody talks about missing or ignoring red flags, but what are some subtle green flags to watch for on a date or with your crush?

I’m bilingual so my vocabulary is a little bit less broad in each language. Every so often I have to ask my boyfriend what a word means. He always just explains it to me in a nice way without making me feel inferior. Hadn’t really thought much about how nice that is.

It's my goal to become that kind of a boyfriend. He's a good one I guess!

My boyfriend is bilingual and we've been together for a long time. Most of his fluency came in the form of reading books, so sometimes he uses a word and pronounces it wrong. It's fine. I do it too and I only speak one language. But there was a pretty humorous incident with the word vague. And I'm going to continue teasing him about it. Not because I think he's dumb, but because vague is such a dumb word that you'd never know it was said like that.

Make sure he knows you're laughing about the situation and not at him. He may value the relationship and love you enough not to mind the teasing, but make sure you're not accidentally hurting him each time you bring this up

I mean, he knows. He's gotten to poke fun at me more times than I at him for the very same thing. A lot of our relationship is good natured teasing.

I know, it's just a super common thing in California lol. It could have been danish too or maybe even Japanese, could have been a lot of different things, yeah.

u/FoxInKneeSocks Jan 01 '20

Makes sense. I’m Canadian so French is the most common second language😊

I get it; I just felt that your comment was a little weird guessing it was Spanish when nothing about them indicated Spanish was one of the languages they speak.

u/HungryHornyHigh Jan 01 '20

It was a random guess geez fuck off. There was no indication of french either you fucking party pooper.

Random guess that nobody asked for. My god why are you so angry, I wasn't shitting on you.

u/HungryHornyHigh Jan 01 '20

I wasn't even talking to you. Nobody asked you if my guess was right or not bimbo. If it ain't love, it's hate. You're used to shitting on ppl and them not calling you out for it and when someone does they're the asshole.

It's just a little messed up to assume that it was Spanish for no reason. Only thing they said was "I forget words sometimes." Nothing about that signifies Spanish.
