Life / GIFT IDEAS for my Polish friend's mum and dad (no alcohol) [8]

I am due to stay with my friend and his mum and dad in Poland next month - any ideas as to what I could buy them as a gift? (I already have little local Welsh bits) - neither of them drink so that's out!!

Thanks

Penny

Love / CONFUSING FRIENDSHIP? She doesn't want to go to Poland now. [30]

I'm doing this on behalf of a friend who doesn't have access to internet, so here goes. My friend has a polish friend who is a guy, but it's just friends. She is going to stay in Poland with him for a week, but has since found out via other friends that he has denied he is even friends with her and says that he doesn't text or phone her (which I know he does on a regular basis) How strange is this?? I don't know what to say to her as I've never come across this before. Any suggestions? She doesn't want to ring him as she's too upset - why would he deny this friendship. I know he's single as she's had conversations with his parents. She doesn't want to go to Poland now (understandable) but can't get a refund on the tickets. I just don't know what to say to ease her mind???

Well, I think she's really pretty (but she's my best pal) and she's certainly way better looking that her Polish friends (female) in the UK!!!! She has paid for her ticket but is now thinking of flying there, giving him a piece of her mind, then catching the next flight out of their half an hour later!!!! How shallow must he be if he wont admit to being friends??? She really took care of him in the UK, and he still txt/phones her and I would have said he really fancied her just by the way he couldn't take his eyes off her - MEN - what a strange breed. Good job I can't go with her or I'd let rip and tell him exactly what I thought :.)

This is one option, and a very probable one.

Just thought about this one - his Polish friends know exactly what she looks like as they see her almost every day so it can't be that. If he thinks she's not good enough to be seen in Poland then I think she should tell him to f**k off personally. Confidence is not one of her best traits, so I can't run this suggestion to her, it would really upset her.

I and all our other friends would have said that he was in love with her, but she always maintained they were friends as nothing happened, but the way he acted, how he treated her told us all another story.

Well then maybe he was counting on something more then just friendship and she just wanted to stay friends. And he feels that it in some way hurted his pride.

On the day he left for home she told him she was in love with him, he didn't say anything at the time, but you could tell he was really happy, but they both decided to be friends. I'm beginning to wonder whether it's her Polish (girl)friend who stirring things, because she didn't like this Polish guy at all!!!!! She's going to Poznan for 8 days, one hell of a long time if she's gonna feel uncomfortable eh?? Whenever she spoke to another guy, he would be there, giving the other guy evil looks - i'm still convinced he feels the same way, but why this denial they are even friends, yet along anything else - it's bloody weird!!!!

maybe you're right ShelleyS - good job she's not got access to the internet as she'd be bloody topping herself right now :.) There's only so much a best friend can say, but I can only go down the telling him to f**k off route :.)

I know, you're right, but that's what us best friends do eh?? She wouldn't do that as she values his 'friendship' (that's a joke now though) - just wish I could ask him myself for her - guess she's know how it is as soon as she sets off the plane - if he shakes her hand it's not looking good!!!!

The only problem is - is she staying in a hotel or something over there? I hope she is not relying on staying with him or his family.

She is[i][/i]staying with him and his mum and dad. I have an update: her Polish friend who originally told her that he didn't consider her a friend at all now has come to apologise!! She said that her Polish friends didn't realise that she was staying with him and his family and that he has always been a very private person. It seems my friend knows him far better than his friends in the UK. From what know of him, he is not particularly keen on these 'friends' in the UK as they are very judgmental and he prefers to keep his private life exactly that!! They now say that he must really think a lot of her as she has been invited to stay and meet all of her family!!!! I've been telling her that all along - he must think of her as more of a friend if he wants to introduce her to the clan!!!! :.)

I don't think this guy knows that my friend was even thinking of not going to Poland!!!! I think this is all his "friends" doing - he is a nice guy and has always said she was beautiful and was always intently jealous of her even talking to another man. I think he loves her and I think he's be upset if he knew about his so-called-friends.
