A friend of mine, a one-time lover and pal, fell hard for a Swedish girl some years ago. He fell hard enough to learn Swedish and move himself, including his Harley, to Stockholm. I miss his friendship but I most assuredly respect the commitment. He was an engineer so I have no doubt that he also learned the Swedish engineering language and is thriving. This is a huge question....we might be tempted because someone's cute, but are we really going to give up Coney Island hot dogs, or being able to discuss shared cultural history and all that for cute? If said cutie is also of another religion, we may well be expected to convert, and a whole lot more. These are whole life questions.
