Language Barrier

Last week I was helping out at the youth activity as a dance partner to a lady that teaches dance at the high school. She is of Hispanic origin and also teaches Spanish.  English is not her first language.  Anyway, she speaks English just fine but there may be a bit of a language barrier there.  She is divorced with twin girls that are 7 years old.  Dan works with this fine lady and has encouraged me to ask her out.  I got quite brave and asked her to join me for the awards gala and dinner last week.  She said she would love to but had other commitments that night and would go another time.  Earlier this week I asked her out to dinner on Friday or Saturday evening.  Her reply was 'let's go Friday'.  I figured that was good, sent a follow up message about a time and then never heard from her again.  Today is Friday so this morning I sent her a message confirming the time and requesting her address so I could pick her up.  There was no response.  I called this afternoon after school had let out.  When I spoke to her it sounded as if all was well.  I mean, she was busy and getting ready.  At least that is what it sounded like.  I asked if she would send me her address so I could pick her up.  She said she would.  Then I got a message asking me if I was asking her out on a date.  I replied that we had a conversation on Tuesday and she had agreed to go to dinner on Friday.  I was a little confused at this point and then I got another message from her.  She apologized that she didn't understand.  Then she explained that she is separated from her husband for 2 and half years but she is still marry.  That is how she said it.  She then said that her bishop would kill her if she went out on a date and also went on to explain that she is working on finalizing the divorce this year with the paperwork and everything else involved.  I could only laugh.  I sent her back the following message: "I understand. We should definitely not go on a date. It would not be good for a bishop to kill someone".  All I could do was laugh.  I sent Dan a message and told him what had happened.  I then sent Dan another message where I said: Language barrier.  Hahahahaha.  This was in relation to other communication I had with said woman.  Oh, she did thank me and asked if we could be friends.  So funny.  What's a guy going to do?  Well, not date married women for one, and continue to have a good laugh at myself on occasion.
