this mexican girl that speaks no english has worked at our family restaurant for a year until she quit recently in may. i speak some spanish but we mostly communicate through text message with translations from yahoo answers. a month after she quit i asked her to go out and we went out 3 times. i took her to the mall, bowling, aquarium. i kissed her on the third time we went out. one week later i took her to play tennis and we didnt go out for a month. we didn't communicate very much either after we kissed. then i asked her out to go shopping and said yes. i bought her a few things because she is poor and after i dropped her off she kissed me, (she made the move) i told her that i cared about her but i dont know what to do now. she is extremely pretty and has guys hitting on her non-stop. she is 23 and good good catholic girl. she is very very nice. i dont know if she likes me or she kissed me because i bought her some clothes. what to do?

I ask this question with an open mind, I've heard it all...I have been cussed at, spit at, ridiculed, laughed at, you name it, because I look mexican and do not speak spanish. I know what I have learned in school and that is about it. It never occurred to me that this is a "problem" for people who speak spanish, until I was about 14, when I started working. People told me I should be ashamed of myself, and would make me cry at first. I wanted to learn so bad that I would stress about it in high school and try to learn and do all my other school work, but it is very hard to learn. Now I feel like I am only trying to learn to please others and not myself, it would be great to know, spanish, but a part of me has a feeling of resentment, that I am being forced to do this. If I didn't look so mexican would I still have to learn? My father tells me I don't have to, this is america, he speaks spanish, and now never uses it, he feels that I shouldn't have to, but i have mixed feelings...he doesn't know what its like to be made fun of and not even be able to understand your own co-workers. Im also mixed with philipino, american indian, and irish, but this means nothing to anyone else but myself because they only see a mexican girl. I wish I could be more informed about my mexican culture, but people have told me even if I learn spanish, I didnt grow up with the culture and would never fit in anyways...anybody have any thoughts on this? something i havent heard before? Im not asking for anyone to be sorry for me, but it would be refreshing to hear something encouraging, or helpful.

I want to tell s Mexican girl who works on the family ranch that I enjoyed the adventure story she wrote.
Thanks. I could have looked it up on babelfish myself as some did but I needed an answer with someone who spoke the language in real life. Thanks

i am taking this mexican girl that worked for my family for 1 and a half years. she quit recently but i asked her to go to the mall. she said yes but i speak very little spanish. what are some things i should do or say?

I speak spanish fluently and I like this mexican girl. She doesnt know I speak spanish.
Would it be a plus if she knew I was bilingual?

Thanks
