Words of Advice for Young People.
Or: Mistakes I'm making so you don't have to.
Or: Oh, shit.
So the next Russian phrase I need is "I was only flirting! I already *have* a wife."
Unfortunately, I'm not sure it translates, and I think the closest I'll get is "No, I totally understand that your overly-muscled aerial catcher comrades, one of whom is an ex cage-fighter, now have to beat seven kinds of shit out of me. In fact, while they're at it, I'd love for you to kick me in the balls a few times!"
Free clue: When a crazy (but incredibly buff and hot) Russian flyer admires your shave and new tattoo by saying "Why? Are you looking for new girlfriend or something?", do not say "Sure - are you offering?". Unless you mean it. Next free clue: It's a lot like being 12. If she hits you, she likes you.
I think I'm safe. She suggested I join her for red wine in the training room after tonight's show, and I said "NO!!! ... uh, I mean, we're all going out for a drink to say goodbye to Jimbo. You should come along...", she said "Nyet, I only joke, I am training after.". So I *think* I'm ok. But I may have to hide behind Romka next week, which will be impressive, because he's 5'5".
Oh, and one more clue: After it dawns on you that she's flirting back, and that that could be dangerous, for fuck's sake STOP FLIRTING! I need a "Poor Impulse Control" tattoo....

P.S. A tattoo that labels you as "Poor Impulse Control" is like a white trash American girl saying "I am soooo drunk." :D
