Love /
In his eyes. I have a good friend who is Polish, he lived in Bialstok. [7]
Mafketis,
I was confused myself. But, he was staying in Bialystok. Not that that would matter much, but he truly never responded to an email when he was there, or when he is here. I do know however that he reads them, because he'll often bring something up from an email or ask a question. While he was there, (for 8mos) he was caring for an uncle of his who had cancer, and eventually died. His uncle didn't trust the people who were working for him, so Arthur went to help out.
I even selfishly reminded him of the telephone. As for asking about my interests, I thought at first that it was polite conversations also. But, it was my first time seeing him since his return to NY, and it wasn't just "Hi, what are you up to?" it was more like..."You're going to do that for a living, I have always been interested in that, where would I go to school for that? How long, what is it like?... He had a thousand questions. He wanted to talk in excess about it, and I helped him look into colleges for it. We talked almost three hours about it.
I do agree though, most American's, myself included have a difficult time carrying on a conversation. I know I do particularly when I don't know the person, I find myself repeating things.
English- His English is very good. He'll trip over his own words once and a while, but I was quite suprised with his fluency. Whenever he can though he will remind groups that English is his 2nd language.
When he had called me "girl friend" we were at a Christmas party, he can be very loud and boisterous, but he is primarily quiet and reserved unless he knows you. At the time it happened, everyone had rushed into the kitchen to have supper, and he was yelping to me almost, saying that he was stuck in the couch. He couldn't have been, I think he was just being goofy. I reached over and pulled him up and that's when he said it. He threw his arm around me and said it. "You know you're my girlfriend, my girlfriend" or something like that, it's been awhile.
Confession- He was I think cracking a joke. He really had me going that night. "A shrink, a SHRINK, you're gonna be a shrink? ... I'll come to you, for confession." Wink. and big smile. That's sort of what made me think that. Same night, he kept taking my plate away from me, I love raw carrots and dip, apparently he thought that that was ridiculous. He kept saying, "What's wrong with you, that's disgusting, you don't eat carrots that way, it's bad for you. You have to cook them." He went on, he was really out there that night.
My question with eye contact, particularly in a group, he is always looking for me, or looking at me. Like at mass, He will look around for me, and when he finds me stare. He has confused me too. Not to long ago, we were at a church supper, and I was dressed up a little, one mutual friend was cracking jokes about my apparel, but he was instantly defending me. He looked like he was glowing. I noticed he blushes a lot too. What was funny was that his boss was there that night and they were selling raffle tickets, and he was like in toe with me, and when his boss called him, he looked like a deer in the headlights. "huh? What?"
His thing this week is "My dear" using it constantly. I have no problem with that.
Thanks again for the help, sorry this was so long.
Sarah
