My boyfriend (Russian) and I (American Chinese) were talking on Skype, and being the internationally inclined nerds we are, we started looking up how to say different things in each other’s languages. He tried saying “I like you” in Chinese, and so I decided to surprise him by saying “I like you” in Russian. Unfortunately I said “I love you.”

Aftermath: He nervously laughed and said “I don’t think I’m ready for that.” Don’t trust online translators. Ever.
