    Its just not the same if they dont understand the lingo. Dabbled a few weeks back with that chatroulette malarky and got "chatting" to this gorgeous french lad. MSN addresses swapped and so the random online flirting began.

    But today, sadly i had to delete him as this is how the conversation went after weeks of similar "chat":
    Him: Bonjour how are you pretty?
    Me: well hellooooo there..hows your day going?
    Him: going..i dont understand
    Me: are you having a good day?
    Him: oh..ok..bien merci. You can chat?
    Me: yeah..what did ye have in mind?wink wink?

    *ages later*
    Him: i am very sorry, i had to dictionary "wink"?

    *FFS*
    Me: so are you going to entertain me in work today?
    Him: what do you want me to do pretty?
    Me: virtual spanking for a start..joking... (desperately trying to rev it up a bit)

    *5 minutes later*
    Him: oh haha..i had to dictionary "spanking"
    Me: sorry phone is ringing.Talk later.

    Arrrgggggghhhhh......"MSN contact deleted". Now, i dont make a habit of flirting randomly with total strangers on the net (really i dont) but he was cute and ..well..what the hell :p But my god flirting with foreigners is just too much hard work when you have to explain EVERY feckin word or phrase.

    Time to go back to real life flirting!

    Well, for a start, you gotta realise he won't get ANY slang or informal terms.

    I lived in Spain for a while and when i spoke to people in English i had to talk to them like very small children................ very small foreign children...........


    (ps. F*ckin foreigners coming here and taking our women!!)

    Just mail him stills from pr0n sites, it saves words and typing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    Its much easier face to face. Try the Scandinavians, they normally have perfect English and have a similar sense of humour to us. They are normally quite hot too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭smellslikeshoes


    It's mostly because we Irish completely rape the English language.

    Voulez-vous couché avec moi, ce soir?

    No matter how goood their grasp of the English language is foreigners won't get the mannerisms of a dialect unless they've spent time in the country. It'd be particularly difficult over the internet!

    Anyway I bet his English is a damn sight better than your French :rolleyes:

    Agreed. If you want to use slang, use french slang.

    Isn't chatroulette mostly just people **** for the laugh? Is that why chatting is in inverted commas?

    I have never heard of any Irish person successfully flirting with a foreigner.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Banned Account


    Those damn foreigners, staying over there and stealing our wimmins:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    OP why didn't you just use the ;) smiley on msn instead of typing out the word "wink?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 131 ✭✭xoixo


    I'm useless at chat roulette, second I make eye contact with someone I can't help but smile, then get embarrassed and click next even if the person was cute and normal haha.

    Also I don't get it with the new options now, the + - and the C N and some other letter at the side?
    What do they do? :/

    My friend and I had a few drinks a couple of weeks ago and went on it...much hilarity ensued. Pissed we were...some were saying 'hello pretty, you have drink...haha' while others spoke intelligently or played with themselves...... Got talking to a nice girl called Lara from someplace in Italy. She was skulling the wine too, a fella behind her kept showing us his arse. Were trying to speak German to a radiator...think he was shy.. Were talking to a quiet young lad from Montana I think about Stephen King etc. Just pressed next when the w**kers came on..

    This is true, I lived with two French girls for a year and for the first few weeks there english wasn't great and they couldn't make out a word we were saying. They said the Irish speak so quickly and use so much "Slang" that we become almost impossible to understand, add in sarcasm etc to that and we might as well be speaking alien. However after the year we were all having the craic and their english and slang was excellent!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    i went out with a foreigner briefly. he had feck all english, so the conversation was very minimal. i didn't mind though, he was pretty :)

    he had a willy like a knitting needle though. :( it was like being repeatedly poked in the womb.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,738 ✭✭✭Naos


    So, hands up who emailed Annie then...

    Was the guy in the OP the hillbilly from Prison Break?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,530 ✭✭✭Duck's hoop


    It's already been said but the guy was French. And you communicated in largely idiomatic phraseology.

    If you want to improve your chances next time, maybe adopt a more tolerant, understanding and compromising attitude towards non-anglophones.

    Or stick to your own kind if that's just, like, too much hassle.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I went out with a Brazilian guy for a while, very nice guy and a hell of a good cook. He got serious pretty quickly so I gave him the slip :pac:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 685 ✭✭✭Carlos_Ray


    Not really flirting though is it? Its more like soliciting cyber sex.

    Flirting for the most part doesn't involve "talking", its mostly body language so it doesn't matter if the person has limited English. You're confusing it with "Chatting up" someone.

    Irish people are generally quite good at flirting IMO. The down side is, sometimes they don't know when the flirting should end and the next step should begin.
