Oh man, I don't think I could even begin to explain all the resons why I'm so scared, but I think the biggest fear at the moment is worrying about how we can communicate.
I know he's shy because a lot of people don't understand him, so I don't want to be just another one. I can only imagine how frustrating it is for him.
I just did a search online for french/english translators and I found some really cool talking ones, which I could leave in my car.
That way, all we would have to do is type in what we want to say and it'll say it in the language you want. Pretty cool, eh :-)
Ok, so here's my plan. I'm going to get me a translator and show up at the pub he frequents one night. I'll walk in with it in my purse, sit at the bar and order myself a corona.
If he's at the bar, I'll give him that look and little smile I always give him and before I lift my beer to my lips, I'll look at him, lift the bottle as if to say "cheers" and I'll take my first drink.
A little alcohol has a way of giving people the courage to do what they normally wouldn't have the guts to do and I'd almost be willing to bet that he'd buy my next beer and be sitting beside me in no time ;-)
