Not only is your accent a positive part of your personal identity, but also it might just be the part of you that catches the ear of a potential mate. Some people are wild about accents. They associate a foreign accent with a potentially exotic partner whose background is interesting and different from their own. There is even an online dating site called “ILoveYourAccent.com,” which specializes in singles looking to meet people with an accent. Of course, once you have your foot in the door with your appealing accent, you want to be sure your potential mate can understand what you have to say. So keep that accent, but make it a positive part of how you present yourself by making sure you are speaking clearly and effectively. |
