Short version: Been out with a certain french girl lately. Gorgeous. Tall. 25% Italian. Grew up as an islander. Hilarious. And extremely sexy. So sexy I feel ... just out of my league.
Good thing is she doesn't feel that way. Things have been fantastic for the past while... but I'd like to learn some things to say to her, in French. Some of you speak French... so let's here some good things to say! And... you can avoid the lovey dovey stuff. Just sorta the seduction/sexy things to say to an incredible girl. Would VERY much appreciate this.

My French is too rusty to contribute.
But I'm sure others will contribute some nice, (in)appropriate stuff

Are you sure you want to ruin the whole thing by having a conversation?

my wife is french, we speak french. apparently speaking french has nothing to do with her attraction to me(so she says). Just be the you that she digs. take a french class.
Or go live somewhere French speaking Like Tahiti or Vanuatu.

I don't want to have a conversation in it. I'd just like to be able to say something "nice". She's very fluent in English... but... I don't know. It's weird that she's always converting things in her head, where as I'm just some typical American "speak english or **** off" type. Honestly I have no idea how this happened.

If she's fluent in English, she thinks in English and no longer translates French.

I said this is to my girlfriend and it really drove her wild:
Votre père était hamster et votre mère sentis comme des baies de sureau ! Je souhaite fart dans votre direction générale une deuxième fois.
It translates roughly as: "You are as cute as a small woodland creature, and your aroma is of the gods."

What, me worry?

To be safe, they should just learn to speak to each other in a neutral third language. I suggest Swedish.

Married to a French woman, have 2 kids born in France, and I live in France (since 2001).
Don't use vous or votre with your girlfriend. Don't say corny things, show her that even though you don't know French, that you've made an effort to learn. Learn some French history - the French (in my experience) know their own history quite well.
A couple of phrases :
Comment on dit XXX en Français ?
How do you say XXX in French? Literally 'How does one say'
Of course 'Merci', 'S'il te plait' and at the end of the evening you can say 'A plus' or 'A demain'.
Hope that helps.

Well, that was what I was taught in French class 25 years ago. I'm sure now it will just get you laughed at.

Sorry, I spelled it wrong... It should be "pamplemousse"
Zut alors, je suis un grand pamplemousse!
Seriously, she will probably laugh at hearing "zut alors" cause it's kind of a pansy thing to say.

If you don't actually speak french no matter what you say its not going to be seductive or sexy. Its going to sound clumsy and humorous to her.
So go for the laugh and the "A" for effort.
Also what island? Haiti?

Also, my I suggest this line from one of my favorite 80's movies "GOTCHA!" when Anthony Edwards charector is talking to the French wait:
"Mon crayon est rouge et grand"
To which the waiter replies (in English) after thinking a moment: "Good for you".

So, what has downinflames68 learned from asking something in the MacNN lounge?
1) The majority of posters here are sarcastic scum.
2) I am the only one who can be trusted to supply relevant/decent/useful information.
3) The sarcastic scum that post here have far too much time on their hands.

4) mattb doesn't realize we've known him longer than he has, and that 68 too, is sarcastic scum.

He is also still someone who is trying to change that aspect of his personality. As I said before, don't take advantage of it. People can change, and they do. It doesn't happen overnight.

Christ, it wasn't an indictment of his personality. mattb referred to us all as sarcastic scum. By including 68 in the list I'm guilty of the crime of considering him our equal. Now shut up.

I need some sort of early warning system. Large blinking or flashing icons would help.
