Ok, so make believe you're in a Russian dating situation... what kind of things would you say to break it off? For example... what if you want to say "This isn't going to work out...?"

Не будет работать?

HA! That's lovely.

The other day, someone asked me to say an insult in Russian. At a loss for a commonly used one, I said (pretty much) the equivalent to "Your father painted stripes on straws and your mother was an ugly fish!"

Yeah, I'm not even good at insults in English, leave me alone! :)

*laughs* Yeah... only relatively mean thing I can say in Russian is "shut up."

Better use "Давай лучше останемся друзьями" in some situation. :)))

"Let's be friends instead"
