I went on a date on Saturday with one of the girls I was talking to. She is 25 years old, her name is Paulina and she is from Poland. She only moved to Denver from Poland 3 years ago but she speaks pretty good English. Yes there is definitely a cultural difference and sometimes she doesn't totally understand me but I feel we communicate well and she seems to have quite a bit in common with me. One of the thing that surprised me is that she likes the same kind of music as me which is mainly rock from the 90's like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. She is going to school her on some kind of scholarship program for foreign students. She said she didn't have a chance to go to University in Poland because she didn't have the money so she had to work in a factory and constantly apply for scholarships. She is very bright and was able to finally win one and she has been going to school here in Denver for 3 years now and is almost finished her MBA. I am not sure what she intends to do with her MBA once she has graduated but whatever she should do well in life which is cool.
I met her at a coffee shop instead of taking her out for dinner because I thought we were gonna have a huge language barrier going on and I didn't want to be in a stuffy environment like a restaurant if that happened. Of course it turned out otherwise and we had a great time chatting over coffee about our very different lives. She told me that all of her family is still in Poland and that they all work at the same factory that she worked at. It didn't sound like they were completely miserable, in fact she said they are a very humble family and even though they don't have much, the family was always happy and very loving etc having big dinners together with relatives etc on a constant basis. She said she had a boyfriend back in Poland but left him when she moved here. She said she had met a few guys here that she was going to school with but because she was older than everyone else she kept meeting younger guys and nothing ever worked out for her. At the end of the date we shared a nice kiss in the parking lot and we have been chatting online ever since. I am going to be taking her out for dinner this weekend.
