I met a man on Facebook and we're meeting up this week.The problem is French and lives in Quebec and I live in Ottawa. He speaks broken English from what I've gathered through text messages. I'm not Canadian so English and French isn't my first launguage either .I speak enough English to communicate effectively with others but I don't understand a word of French, which is why I feel like we are going to have a language barrier .I'm already having hard time understanding some of his texts and often have to guess what he is trying to say.
I asked him if he has skype to video chat,so that way I know he is saying who he is.He says,his internet contact is expensive and that he prefers eyes to eyes contact. Then I suggested we talk on the phone so I can get idea how the conversation will flow in person ... he said sure.We set to talk at 7pm last night but when I texted him to ask If he is ready to talk,he never responded. He just texted me this morning and said "I am real sorry.I miss your call time,I feel cheap" Are u mad?
And he wants me to drive to his city ,in Quebec instead of him coming down here or meet half way..he says he is not familiar with Ottawa It's a 30 minute drive . We're meeting up for a coffee tomorrow but i'm just not sure if I should bother.

Would you still go?
If I were in your shoes, and my only real concern was the language barrier, I would certainly still go. 30 minutes of driving is nothing.
But I'm also the kind of guy that I lives for awkward situations.

Of course he wants you to go near his place.
It would be too hard to drag you in the car after he drugs your coffee. Plus, the drugs may wear off after the 30 minute drive. Lol!
I would say be careful and keep an eye on your coffee cup.
