The Frenchman

The Frenchman and I met for sushi one evening.  This was my first time meeting him.  He had a super strong accent.  I have never had to concentrate so hard on a date.  I had to use my teacher ears to process everything he was saying.  This was worse than listening to Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80's.  He even noted that he was impressed that I understood him.  He got excited he found someone to chat with.  I felt bad for him because I knew that was our first and last date.  I just did not feel like working that hard to communicate with someone on my leisure time.  I know - boooo to me.
