So I am in Africa (hooray) and hit the club with my brother and coworkers (woo). I spied beautiful, thick african beauty who was trying the hardest to have fun when the club was rather dull. She also seemed to be the center of her group. We danced a lot, I didn't make a fool of my self, we hit it off. All good, right?
Wrong!
Besides my father freaking about about my mental stability and kind of pimping me out to every cutie here (this girl for example, had already heard about me 5 months prior from my father), I don't know this girl/woman's age and she barely speaks english. Her main languages are French and Somali (bonus points if you know where I am from this).
So while I am not trying to get another wife right now, I do have a thing with an attractive woman and would like advice on how i should pursue this and not have another hated enemy in a years time.
Main points,
*I am not rich, I am here on my father's dime to build a business and a brand
*On my father's coattails, I am living better than most of this country (my people
)
*This woman works at the hotel we meet at, probably the only place where they can get a decent wage
Its been about 5 years since I had a deep relationship and 2 years since I was a date beyond the third date.
Advice for dating dark and lovely would be appreciated and all french words should be translated politely.

Aussi, ne dis pas "Dark and lovely".
And learn some French if you're going to stick around.
As long as you don't try to flash money around her land act ike a big shot the money difference won't matter.
My advice would be to not date anybody with whom you can't have a normal conversation.
As in if there's a language barrier?
Goosery. That shouldn't stop anyone. In fact, it's an excellent opportunity to learn a new language.
Conversation is overrated in the beginning of an encounter. In fact, NOT knowing the language is a very good stepping stone - guess who gets to help poor helpless mister man learn how to say nice things?
Just go for it - activities that don't necessarily require a lot of talking are a good way to start, then transition as one or other other of you learns how to speak the other's language.
I was inattentive and found myself with another young lady at dinner last night and after pretty much boring her at dinner, I ask if we can go somewhere else so her night isn't boring and the rest of the dinner party makes their way back to hotel and says something that leaves the first girl looking hurt.

I fucked up.
Yah, if I would have dated someone from the town I was in India I would have been in serious trouble with her family. I dunno how Somalians deal with boyfriend/girlfriend, casual sex and marriage and I bet it differs a lot per region, but I would never just jump into a relationship without being kind of confident in dealing with local mores.
Eh, Somali people have always been rather modern in the cities and this country is filled with city folk so no problem. Hell, most somali have a little Indian in them from 100s of years ago.
