8 Simple Rules...

...for dating a confident, unsuspecting, and slightly cynical American woman. This post will tell of the encounters I have had with Bulgarian men who wanted to date me. I hope you'll find this as entertaining and sufficiently mortifying as I found living it.

1. We should have a common language.

I feel like this goes without saying.

2. Don't use my students as translators.

It tends to make things a little more creepy and awkward.

3. You should own less than nine computers.

This should be a rule for everyone, unless you're a computer repairman. Anything more than two is just craziness.

4. Do not ask me on a date in front of my class.

It makes me feel bad when I turn you down in front of an audience and then my class can't focus on the lesson after you leave. This makes me really dislike you.

5. Do not be old enough to be my father.

I'm 25. You do the math.

6. Do not wait outside of my apartment building for me.

That's called stalking and it's a bit off-putting.

7. Do not spend half of the first conversation we ever have trying to convince me that you're a good person by repeating it over and over again.

It makes me doubt you and wonder how many people you've killed.

8. Do not ask me if I plan on staying in Bulgaria.

I don't. I'm sorry, but I plan on going back to America and no, you can't come with me.
