Obligatory, this didn't happen today but years ago. I just didn't bother to post it.
I was in college studying computer science. I don't know much about languages or what most of them even sound like but had to take a language course so I signed up for Spanish. I had a business services class to take as well, not sure why but any way. In that class there was a Chinese girl right next to me. She barely knew any English as I overheard her only speaking in Chinese but she was gorgeous. I didn't know what to even say cause I don't know the language. She had a friend who was translating the class for her. I said "hey" but the translator said she doesn't speak English. Before I said anything back, the professor interrupted and started class. I thought, let me learn that language and impress her. I overheard her friend talking to someone else saying "ohhh nice, I speak Chinese too and multiple languages also!"
So I was still in the "grace period" I guess you can say where you can drop a class. So I dropped Spanish and took Chinese. I took the class and it was tough, not an easy language to learn. I had to work hard at it but I knew it was going to be worth in the end.
I wanted to wait till I was fluent in it and that I can hold small conversation before talking to her. She rarely spoke at all except to her friend. I waited till the last day of the semester to say something to her. Ask her out etc. etc.
Last day of the semester come up and I'm ready to talk to her. I tell her that she's pretty and I learned Chinese, so I can talk to you. It wasn't flawless but I managed. Her translator spoke and MUTHA FUCKAH, you wanna know what she said??
"That's really sweet that you learned Chinese for her but sorry she doesn't speak Chinese, she speaks Japanese. I'm the one who speaks Chinese."
MY DUMB ASS thought the whole time she was speaking Chinese. FML. The girl did give me a hug though thinking it was sweet but yea no. I didn't see her again after that as I think she switched colleges.
TL;DR: Learned Chinese to impress a girl to then realize she was speaking Japanese the whole time.
