African woman help

edited October 2010 in Help / Advice Forum
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.

    Pursue it like you would anyone else. You've been in relationships before.

    Aussi, ne dis pas "Dark and lovely".

    If you have chemistry you have chemistry; if you have fun you have fun. It should be perfectly obvious if something is happening, language problems or not. Don't let class or wealth disparity stop you from dating, you'll be able to tell if there's interest or not.

    And learn some French if you're going to stick around. :)

    Attend a French class if you can, I would be impressed if a man tried to learn a complete foreign language to talk to and woo me.

    Yes, learn some French. Aside from the fact that this girl is lovely it will help you do business there as well.

    As long as you don't try to flash money around her land act ike a big shot the money difference won't matter.

    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.

    How long are you planning on being in this country? Also how would the police react to a foreigner going out with a local, I have been to plenty of places where it could get you arrested or at least harassed.

    Yeah, this? Like VoC said, don't do this. It will only make you look like an ass. Though you seem to have at least this much sense, I think it probably bears repeating.

    I'm in the country to start several businesses and my father comes from one of the primary ethnic groups. Its funny, my skin color makes me stand out the most but I have never felt more at home.

    FUCKFUCKFUCK!

    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

    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.
