the guy that i currently like (and likes me back) is a first degree black belt. he is in love with takwondo. and lets just say...i've never even talked about the subject until i met him (i'm a happy ballerina =D). i'm completely clueless. i don't want to sound like a complete dork when i talk to him. the only sports i can talk about is ballet, horseback riding, and tennis (which i do). there has been times where he's said somthing about it and i just nod and smile even though inside my head i'm like, "what did he say?" lol
please help! any facts, info, ect will help!!!
thanks!

Ask him questions about TKD. He'll love that.

Does he know anything about Ballet, Horses or Tennis?....
Maybe you should both just asjk each other questions about those things. Take him Horseback riding one weekend and ask to go to one of his classes or have him show you some basic self defence moves.
I would run out and joind his TKD club, not until you know he is gonna be around for a long time. Your ballet would actually help you as you already have flexability and great ballance. @ key points to TKD

Even if you don't know what he is talking about, just keep asking him questions about it, just get him talking about it, and you will start to catch on to what it is all about, you don't actually need to hold your own end of the conversation if you get someone talking about something they really like. I know this for a fact because i use the same technique when i have nothing to say, i ask a random question about whatever it is the person i am talking to likes the most. Sometimes i have to catch myself when i am talking to my friends, because if i get on a good roll when i am talking about martial arts, judo mostly, although i will gladly talk about others, after five minutes i will find myself teaching random techniques to my friends, and they havn't said a word to me. So yeah, just get him caught up with what he loves and whatnot. Although, ballet and some styles of tae kwon do have more similarities than differences. If he is part of a very kata orientated club, then it's bonus points for you because a kata is basically a dance designed to show control of forms used in tae kwon do.

be very careful. Don't put too much faith in his skill. I'm sure he is scare of some 6 years old black belt simply because of the belt.
You may want to read a few articles on www.bullshido.net and you'll come up with some good questions.

Sometimes, people talk not to be understand, but to be appreciate. So, listen your sweetheart with heart. Although you don't understand, he will glad enough if he saw a warm appreciation in your eyes.
Try to ask him, then he will happy to answer you about everything you want to know. By passing time, you gain more and more knowledge about this topic. And you can start participate in his discussion.

Maybe go watch one of his classes with him, then ask questions that pertain to aspects you liked or didn't understand. He'll like that you took an interest in a large part of his life!

well if you're not sure about what he's saying; just ask him to clarify what he means, I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you about it.
If you don't know, then it never hurts to ask so that you will know in the future. you should never be ashamed of asking when you don't know.

loves TKD? then where would you fit in? somewhere between his trophy's and certificates shrine and his calendar of upcoming events.
yes, be careful of meeting people that are fully engrossed in their sport, as others tend to take 2nd place. which is fine, just be aware that you will never tame the guy.

ask him to share his knowledge with you, most dudes love sharing a passion with the one they feel Passion for.
