Love / I don't know if she's married and I don't speak Polish - help me romantic folks [55]

Hi everyone
There's a beautiful Polish girl where I work and I'd like to take her out but there's a couple of things I'm not sure about.

First off, I don't know if she's already married, (she doesn't wear a wedding ring). Is this normal in Poland? Or would she always wear a ring if she was married. As far as I'm concerned married women are off limits but unmarried are fair game. She may well have a boyfriend already but if they aren't married then is it acceptable for me to ask her out?

Second, I don't speak any Polish and she only speaks a little English so how would I ask her? I would like to be able to ask "could I take you out sometime?"

Third, I'm not very good at chatting to her as I get very nervous, she gives me the full butterflies in the stomach kind of nerves. So any help or hints would be welcome.

Thanks.

Thanks purplewolf,
I'm not sure I understand you. If she's married then I'm not interested. I don't want to interfere in someone elses marriage. But if she's not married then I would like to take her out.

I don't want to play the role of a rich foreigner or anyone else for that matter. I'm looking for a fairly serious relationship so I'd rather not decieve her. Also I would rather that she likes me because she likes me, not because I'm rich.

Thanks for the expressions but you'll have to tell me what they mean, or at least how I could find out.
Cheers.

Cheers opts
purplewolf, I'm hoping those lines will come in handy, but I'll save them till I get her on her own. Could have been funny though, especially since all the Poles sit together in the canteen at work!

Maybe there is somebody at work who knows. Being smart about is is my advice, but you don't seem to need it anyways, since you come across as a person who has things together. Find out if she is planning to stay in the country for longer or she is just there for employment and is planning to go back

Sound advice, thanks. Her cousin works there so I could ask her,mind you, I might aswell just ask her herself! I think she's planning to stay for a while she's worked there for 3 years at least.

what difference does it make if ur gonna ask her out in English or Polish?

because

A couple of mumbled Polish phrases will make her heart melt. Even if they are mostly nonsensical.

Wulkan
Mate, you need to work on your technique.

Love / Should a marriage proposal to a partner from Poland be done in private or public? [27]

It could be a mistake to propose in public, but hiring a violinist to play Chopin, that's unforgivable.

He doesnt need to, he has a girlfriend..you on the other hand dont have one - who is lacking in technique?

Don't I know it.
I'm sure Wulkan's girlfriend is very nice and she's fortunate to have such a helpful and debonair man but I'm here to gain an insight into the mind of a modern Polish woman.

So I've got a handfull of usefull and if neccessary, obscene phrases, I'll avoid comparisons with anything Russian, anything else I should know?
