Can You Date A Guy/lady That Doesn't Speak Good English? by Mrsfaithhh: 9:15pm On Dec 30, 2014
I know English is not our language o,nd no one is perfect.Especialy me grin.
But I tink there is a level of imperfection dat is pardonable wen it coms to expressing ourselvs properly.
I once loved a guy,he was a nice guy,cute,well bhaved ,humble BUT he always broke my heart with the bullets he shot while we were dating.
I had 100% lov for dis guy o.and he did dis.
Wen ar u going to left? (D love reduced by 10% embarassed )
Wat are u going to ate tonite?(Reduced by 30% embarassed )
Anytime u came to saw me in my crip u don't used to past d nite .(50% gone embarassed embarassed )
I would love u and I to hav a children together and I wil giv u d love u yarn for.(Love don finish embarassed embarassed )
Hav u eva bin in dis kind of situation? Wld u date a guy/lady like dat?
grin

Of cos not. the first thing that attracts me to a lady, is no other thing but a good command of english.
Re: Can You Date A Guy/lady That Doesn't Speak Good English? by Nobody: 9:34pm On Dec 30, 2014
Okay.. Now this is a tough one. Don't think I can do it, unless he'd be willing to learn and improve.
In other news, op, how did he toast you and you didn't notice? Abi na letter him use?

Technically Verbal english and its fluency goes a long way to tell your level of intelligence because you try your hardest to coins words into sentences to express your inner thought and vision,intellectuals go the extra mile to use word play,metaphor,simile,personification,irony and sarcasm,that been said...No one and I repeat no is above mistakes when it comes to spoken english,matter of fact i sometimes hear newscasters and OAPs make blunders,I can put up with a girl who makes little blunder but not with a girl who ignorantly does it with pride.

Such people don't cross my path for a date, let alone advancing to a relationship. If ever it happens, i'd send her on an exclusive training in Queens English. Can't afford to be 'ebariced' if it eventually leads to marriage.
Re: Can You Date A Guy/lady That Doesn't Speak Good English? by 1one: 9:56pm On Dec 30, 2014
I have personally discontinued two close friendships that could have led to serious relationships because both of the girls though very pretty, especially the first one (fresh like tomatoes) couldn't coherently communicate in what I personally deem "Basic English" (my own benchmark for Basic English may be different for others)

I can't stand it.... It may seem I'm being overly petty but hey, we all have peeves and deal breakers.

As an ordinary friend, fine, no problem... But as a potential girlfriend/wife...Naaah...I don't think I would want to put myself and her through that torture, because she would always feel insecure and I'd always feel bad that I'm making her insecure.

Re: Can You Date A Guy/lady That Doesn't Speak Good English? by Monicasque(f): 11:41pm On Dec 30, 2014
I think i would help him to learn the language. Maybe find classes for him or something, and explain to him gently why m doing dat, without embarassing him or hurting his feelings, den watch how he deals with other aspects of his life.if he shows dat he is interested in learning, i will keep him around, bt if he doesn't see, interested i wud let him go, bt we also need to remember dat its nt as if he wud just agree to attend class frm the first day i raise dis problem, his pride wud need my patience, to deal wit dis matter
