No, not at all, flagirl.
Simple bilingual* "de mauvais goût" joke - excuse me !
I just wanted to say that sentence may be rather explosive.
To be p
ardoned, I have prepared a little Love toolbox for you
, containing The Preliminary Works,The Killing Answer, The Ultimate Try, The Seducted Seducer, The Big Alternative, The Very Common Way and The Much Appreciated Extra.
1st Tool : The Preliminary Works
. eyeliner, at least
. perfume (not much, if you aren't accustomed
to it)
. lipstick (light, if not accustomed
to it)
. wearing
(comportment? demeanor? what you wear? how you wear it? Strange word choice?) and behaviour :
at the same time elegant and natural...
........You know all that
2d Tool : The Killing Answer
If you follow proposal
#40, maybe he'll try to change the natural
progression/flow by saying
"Oh, tu parles français, maintenant ?""Hey, do you speak French now ?" or something like that.
Just answer slowly "No - it's love", and
move closer
to him.
3d Tool : The Ultimate Try
If nothing happens at all, you can try to fall down unconscious, if the nervous tension is too strong for you - I'm not sure
if this would suit your character.
4th Tool : The Seducted Seducer
Find his interest poles
(? points of interest?) and question him about
them. Show him e
xactly how interested
you are in him (better if you really are, of course),
and how smart, brilliant, fascinating he is. Drink his words, as we say in French ; when your mouth (and perhaps your body) is near enough
to his, maybe something
will happen - if not, don't worry, you'll get another occasion : he loves your conversation !
For example, propose
that he
teach you French...
5th Tool : The Big Alternative
Entreat him to
participate in any kind of close-combat play, from judo to catch. The best is probably, if you're young enough, play tag (or tig), since it allows you to vary the battlefield. When you'
re both well exhausted, if he doesn't take the initiative, you can.
6th Tool : The Very Common Way
Come on, dance with him ! A nice slow
one after three very lively rocks...
Dance
was invented to bring bodies close
together.
(NB. je m'aperçois au passage que la langue anglaise, qui rassemble la quasi totalité des vocabulaires germanique et latin, n'a pas de mot pour dire "rapprocher", ni d'ailleurs "se rapprocher de" - significatif, non ?)
7th Tool : The Much Appreciated Extra
To learn French
, of course !
(I feel like "effectivement" is a faux ami here, though I can't think of the right word in English)
* we could make another one
here with this word, couldn't we ?
NB1. I'd be happy if anybody would correct my probably numerous mistakes...
NB2. pour AgnèsE. : peut-être une partie de ceci vous paraîtra-t-elle intéressante pour le fil "Langages de l'amour". Ce n'est pas du français, certes ; c'est du latin

- ou plutôt de l'international !
Mais cela peut aider l'un(e) ou l'autre, je crois. A côté des expressions (classées, n'est-ce pas, en catégories musico-rigolotes) on pourrait donc peut-être avoir une "Toolbox" de ce genre...
