Love / Confused English man: is she stringing me along or is she confused? [62]

Is she lonely? Does she need your attention?

She has a normal number of friends and relatives, although she has told me that I am the person she confides in most.

Do you give her money?

No. I have been trying to pay for meals and things since being in Poland, but only because she probably wouldn't be eating out if I wasn't here. This is only right because I am much better off than she is.

Why does she stay with you?

I don't know if answering the phone is the same as staying with someone.

Love / Confused English man: is she stringing me along or is she confused? [62]

Thanks everyone for your responses, really every response is food for thought. Its nice to be able to talk about things because it gets quite lonely in this hotel room.

I know one thing, forgetting her is not going to happen. She is the most special person I know and she really is not a bad person at all. Its possible that she is 'playing' me, but then we all have issues and I am sure she is not being deliberately nasty.

I think the choice I have is either: confront her and if it goes badly I go home and carry on with life, in a sort of 'set her free and see if she comes back' scenario, maybe even stop phoning her; or I just continue as I am, waiting and hoping that she remembers the special time we shared together.

Its taken a lot of effort to get here to Poland, I set up my own little business so I can afford to live here indefinately and I've taken time off work, risking the best job I've ever had by telling them there is a possibility I won't come back. Maybe I am just a dreamer, but I do believe in chasing dreams.

LondonChick - we did meet up in person, once in England and twice in Poland. This was during the time when things were going well between us. It was her that mentioned marriage - I think to see if I was serious. I haven't mentioned the possibility to her about 'staying here forever'. As far as she knows I am here on holiday for 8 weeks and then going home.

Love / Confused English man: is she stringing me along or is she confused? [62]

I met a Polish girl online 3 years ago and we had a very romantic "cyber" relationship. At the time she was divorcing her ex-husband with whom she had a daughter who is now six years old.

She visited me in England and we had a wonderful time, there was even the mention of marriage. Since then its me that has made all the effort. The romance seems to have died and now we seem to be just friends but all of the time I have been thinking about her because I really think that she is wonderful. She knows that I am in love with her but from time to time I ask her how she feels about me and she says she doesn't know. If I show her that this upsets me she gets annoyed and so I back off. Occasionally she will say encouraging things like tell me how wonderful I am or talk about a possible future for us.

I have phoned her every day in the last three years and she tells me she likes this. Now, searching for answers I have taken a sabatical from work and I've come to Poland. She booked me a hotel close to her home and I am here for 8 weeks, but I would stay forever if things worked out.

We've been out 10 or so times in the last 5 weeks that I have been here and still we are acting like friends. Today me, her and her daughter have been out to a Salt mine in Krakow. Its driving me crazy that I can't ask her how she feels, so after the salt mine I txt'd her to say I needed to talk and I would phone her tonight. I just phoned to her but she didn't answer, probably she is asleep.

I'm confused, is she stringing me along or is she confused? Any help from women would be appreciated.

Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]

Oslol,

I've got a Tomtom with eastern europe and its been brilliant. Its gone wrong about twice so far but thats probably because the roads have recently changed but I just keep going straight ahead until it plans a new route - no problem at all.

It went wrong when I first got off the ferry at Dunquerke and I thought at that point it was going to be rubbish, but it was fine and it got me through Germany and all the way to Southern Poland perfectly.

Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]

I know two things that Polish people may find strange about the UK.

1) Windows that open outwards. I think I am right in saying that all Polish windows open inwards so they can be cleaned. Makes sense really.

2) Hot and cold water taps. All Polish taps seem to be mixer taps. There is no benefit to having separate hot and cold taps.

One thing I think is really nice about Poland is the friendliness of the people. I met, through a friend, a man that couldn't speak English at all, but he came up to me and said "David Beckham"... just in an attempt to make conversation. I smiled and said "Yes, David Beckham" and he replied... "Chelsea, Liverpool" etc.etc.

Its really good that although we couldn't understand each other, he still made the effort to be friendly.
