Love / Friendship With a Polish Women [29]

asking for advice on a forum is among the silliest things you can do.

in some cases it may be silly, in some cases it may be the only place where you can ask.
I was talking about maturity in general, not about this particular guy. I don't know him so can't tell anything about him.

Love / Friendship With a Polish Women [29]

You are 5 years younger than her. She is much more mature than you are.

it's not always the case. Maturity is much more about what you've done/achieved in your life, the knowledge and experience that you've gained, the responsibilities that you have than about your age. A 21 years old who takes care of himself or/and his family is more mature that a 33 years old who still lives at home with mama and papa, food & drinks provided by the latters.

If you put the effort in with any woman and listen to her and get to know well

and here is the answer to your question, if you want to know if she's interested, you have to talk to her. Wait for the right time and place and ask her if she'd consider to be more than friends with you. It's the only way.

if a woman fancies you she's gonna go into fireworks mode regardless of what she's like everyday,

maybe she fancies him but for some reason she's not sure if she wants to start something with him, so she prefers to keep the distance? Maybe it's because he's her colleague and she doesn't want to get involved with someone from work, maybe she's got someone back home, maybe it's because he's Asian, not PL, not chirstian (if it's the case)?

Anyway Zero Cool, you won't know until you ask her.

UK, Ireland / UK government refuses me to live in the UK!!! [22]

Dunno really, its all a bit odd :D

it is indeed;

a few months work under my belt before I go back to Poland ;)

that is if they let you live there.
Think twice, if you take a plane tomorrow you'll make it for Wigilia and Christmas (Christmas market & mulled wine in Krakow's Rynek are so tempting!).

UK, Ireland / UK government refuses me to live in the UK!!! [22]

according to them as i cant prove that im Polish I cant live here!!!

why do you have to prove you're PL? why not prove that you're British?
Well, looks like all you have left to do is come back to PL :)

UK, Ireland / Its strange that there arent many Poles who live in the UK on this Forum [102]

you guys ( not all Poles ) behave like medieval Jews, come to host country and dry its resources, no integration, no English, stick to your own just like those Jews. Shame on you.

oh yeah, no English? And like we are posting in which language on this forum? In Swahili?

Because you think that the British people, living here in PL, would be able to post here in Polish? I don't think so, the only person I would imagine posting in PL is Seanus.

It has nothing to do with the numbers.
What enkidu says it simply logic, there aren't many PL people from UK on this forum because they post on PL speaking ones.
You wouldn't find a 'Dlaczego Brytyjczycy mieszkający w Polsce nie piszą na tym forum?' thread on let's say wp.pl forum, would you?

Love / Are Polish women too controlling? [106]

My wife let me out to a dinner/staff function tonight, I was impressed ;)

Love / Are Polish women too controlling? [106]

Am a normal guy just trying to find out about polish girls

this forum is probably not the best place to ask about PL girls.
Do you have any PL friends, colleagues, maybe your friends know some PL people? If yes you should ask them.
I don't think you will get a proper advice here.

Love / Are expensive gifts offensive to polish guys? [30]

It was not expensive, expensive, little less then 100 Euros, but it's though more then you give here in general as a "casual" gift.

It makes some 400PLN so it's definitely more than casual for PL. As the others said, it depends if that's more than casual for the guy in question. If it is more, then I'm telling you as a PL girl that an average PL guy would feel ambarassed about receiving such a gift.

Maybe you are right, about that, I just wanted to be nice, gave sth. he would need to buy anyhow :-/

I don't know how well you guys know each other, what kind of a person he is or what you wanted to buy for him.

I would say that most PL men would be amabarassed if a woman gave them an expensive gift, especiall if they couldn't afford to buy her something precious in return.

That is if you are not related to them?

I think it would be really ambarassing for a PL man/any man...

I guess it would be awkward for anybody to receive an expensive gift from someone not related to them?

Love / Loving a Polish girl [14]

get her an amber heart pendant

very good idea. Amber is typically Polish - it should be a nice surprise for her.

Life / Do Poles Lack in Social Skills and Etiquette? [74]

Thanks for hints I'll probably try them sometime, but I'm taking a wild guess that half of them are pricey restaurants and the other half pubs for students that serve a pretty narrow variety of meals.

They are worth trying and not pricey at all :)

UK, Ireland / Poland vs. UK - how the manners differ [48]

Definitely the shop assistants here are terrible. They seem to take particular delight if they can reply 'nie ma'.

hahahahaha, yeah I know this feeling...our dear shop assistants can drive one mad!!!!

As for rude manners at the table, i find it disgusting that so many people here in UK - including women - find burping and farting socially acceptable!

PEOPLE, IT IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND UNACCEPTABLE TO BURP AND FART AT THE TABLE!

Life / Do Poles Lack in Social Skills and Etiquette? [74]

Tarnowskie-Góry? Come on, few kebab houses, post communist style restaurants, pubs for youngsters or homeless drunkards, restaurants for rich people and some junk food huts.

here are some places that you might wanto to visit in Tarnowskie-Góry: Wiśniowy Sad, Rymera 6, U Wronów, Leśniczówka, Kurna Chata, Taco, Cafe-Bar Celona, Alicja w Krainie Czarów. But you wouldn't know these places, apparently you prefer kebabs, junk food huts etc.

And the city is horrible enough not to put your nose outside your house

and this city is mine!

Life / Do Poles Lack in Social Skills and Etiquette? [74]

Take Gliwice for instance, where would you "eat out" in Gliwice? McDonalds and kebab stalls and pizzerias are the only places where you can eat out. Most Poles are pretty thrifty and will go to a restaurant only when they are rich or if there's a big occasion for that.

Gliwice is not the best for restaurants. It had a placed called Something Different but the rent was too high for the upkeep of the building. Gazdówka is a good bet.

come on guys, I come from Tarnowskie-Góry, which is much smaller than Gliwice, and there are numerous places to go out for a dinner or a drink there. Gliwice must have much more to offer but you just don't know about it.

Life / Do Poles Lack in Social Skills and Etiquette? [74]

We've just had two secondees from our Warsaw office...they were out every night of the week, pair of little social animals they were

They must have had some Social Skills and Etiquette training before they came.

joepilsudski

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Totally agree. As a Pole I confirm that Poles Do Lack in Social Skills and Etiquette.
Never ever do we go out on dates, dine out, go to cinema, go for a drink or coffee/tea, go to dance clubs.
Don't ask why - that's just the way it is....

Love / Love my polish girlfriend alot but under pressure from family [166]

Chyba tak.
Thank you for your post loveMYcountry. I agree with your point of view but if it was me saying that they would all say I'm a gold digger.

Thank you to all the men that have their honour and know how to treat a lady.

UK, Ireland / English tossers give Brits a bad name in Poland [139]

Touching Krakow pigeons is disrespect to the whole nation. Peaceful birds, they are.

dishonour to the Pigeons Tossers!
