Should i ask my new bf to learn asl for me? I mean is that to much to ask that he learns simple signs just like the alphabet so we can comunicate easier?
 
There is nothing wrong to ask him if you can teach him. IF he is willing to learn than that great. :D
 
upt o you... i dated a hearing gal once.. said she will learn sign language.. and it turns out she didn't really learn..
 
DeafSCUBA98 --

It's true that some hearin' people don't want to try to learn - they just never did. They could tell you that they WILL try to learn... but, it never happens. It happened to me a few times in the past... so, I don't try to ask hearin' people to learn them again. It wastes my time, knowin' their game. I will just tell them to go to the library and find sign language books to learn themselves. *chuckles* I might sound tough - but, hey - I am not interested in playin' headgames. Sowwie. They will have to SHOW ME to prove that they are REALLY INTERESTED in wantin' to learn them. Show me their motivation. ;)
 
IMHO, if he truly loves you then he should be more than willing to learn ASL, so won't hurt ask him. If he don't want to, then you'd know the answer.
 
Cgal, you said, "....to make communication easier" so that tells me that if the relationship is going to move on to a higher, more serious level, then he just about HAS to, doesn't he?
 
Well i'm only hoh so i can hear but it just gets really hard when we are trying to have a serious conversation about stuff it's extremely hard for us to comunicate with me saying what what what all the time so that why i was wondering and yea we are trying to take this relationship higher
 
Communication is the key to successful relationship, so if you having difficulty understanding him without sign language, if he loves you that much he would be willing to learn. ;) Good Luck!
 
Yeah I agree, if he loves you enough to want to learn sign language in order to communicate with you then that shows he want a real relationship with ya!
 
well i don't personally to ask my partner or lover if hearing. If that person really enough interesting in me or motivate to be w/ me in further, that person should on himself learn sign lauguage. If he want to share with me, i would more than glad to be. So i know that he really cares and love me. I don't ask that person, it not show anything cuz, communicate is the strong key of friendship and relationships.
 
Well see i do'nt use sign around him yet so he isn't all that motivevated to learn sign yet that's why i wanna know if it's ok if i can ask him? but i've come to the conclusion just to ask him
 
I am having to learn for my husband.....I know we are married but still....its not what I had in the plans. I'm sporting little confidence that I can do this and someone really get it.

I think if your Boyfriend is thinking long term- he probably would WANT to learn. If he is reluctant than I would think he would probably not be thinking long term. I dunno.. men are so complicated.
