WINKING - A GOOD POLISH SIGN???

I've noticed that one of the Polish guys who works with us winks at me all the time - never any of the other girls - is this a good sign????? Is this a Polish tradition as none of the British guys do this - it's really lovely :.)

Maybe he's squinting. Do you wear alot of jewellery?

yes it can mean that he likes you

Dear Kilkline - You've made me laugh and I needed it :.) No, I don't really wear any for work :.) xx

Just trying to help. :)

Maybe he's dazzled by your smile, those old time lead fillings can be quite reflective.

are you serious, you say the british guys im asuming your refering to the ones from work....?
and then you ask is this a polish tradition....
COME ON
dont act like british guys dont wink.....they do (wierdos)

(personaly)
i find winking sleasy but thats just my opinion...

maybe he's got a twitch lol. i suppose its a good sign, winking is pretty much universal, it doesnt mean anything rude or nasty in Poland. my English ex bf used to wink at me a lot, but i suppose winking is a bit old fashioned now...

Polish guys do wink a lot..most of the time its the older Polish men though. Seems like old tradition.

But anywho, thats definitely a sign that he likes you!

Hi, just stumbled into this site on the web, hope you dont mind me crashing into this thread?

I'm Ecoprincess a name given to me by a group I do voluntary work for in Marine Conservation are.

I live in the North West of Ireland where I run my own smallholding and I work in a local company. I am originally English, well travelled and am now officially Irish having lived here for 27 years. So many interests I couldn't list them all here, I love life, like to live my life to the full.

Thanks for the above information in the thread. There is a a group of Polish men working as drivers where I work and one winks at me, I have never known how to interpret this. I am naive and had no idea what it meant so growing more confused I googled it and landed with you lot. :) When I came to Ireland things were a lot different to how they are now, no one ever offered me any assistance, so I go out of my way the help the Polish Community at work. They all seem to appreciate this and wave at me as they come and go.

So this chap winks at me a lot always smiles and sometimes when we are in a group of other Polish men, he repeatedly winks at me. He also waves at me coming and going from work, if we meet in the warehouse we always catch eyes, and make a point of speaking, he will go out of his way to meet me. This may all sound very teenagerish, but after 20 years in a good relationship I am now widowed for the last 7 years, and well this whole realtionship thing has moved on so much. I can not help but think I may be reading these signs wrongly, and that he is just been friendly and not interested in my romatically.

Ok it would be easy to tear me apart for my niavety, but some constructive help would be useful:
1. is it more than friends hes after.
2. how do I let him know discreetly that I am also interested, what would a Polish woman do next?

thanks to all the postive assitance responces. :)

1.you'd find out only later on
2. put your both hands on your hips - wait for 4 seconds - then reach your arm toward him with open palm of your hand. Yousing your pointing finger call him over to you and talk.

don't mention any winks as not to put him into defensive mode rahter tell him you've noticed he's been starring at you.

Good God, is that the most discreet way of doing this?

I was more thinking of smiling? dunno? see what I mean - well out of the game LOL

thanks for your reply :)

I think Kowalski is pulling your leg here.

Smiling will do.

O right sorry,
Jesus I've been practicing in the mirror LOL.

no , you haven't:)

Oh yes, now peeing my pants laughing - OMG if I'd done it he would have run a mile LOL

my mother always told me to lower my eyes and flash my eyelashes LOL

That reminds me of when I was telling my Polish friend what the word 'bast*rd' translated as. Hahaha laziest way to get someone to come over ;)

I do wave back at him and smile, I think he might be a bit shy, and my boss hates me talking to any of the lads (dunno).

Gonna make sure I get to talk to him this week, as the boss is away on holiday, and I will flutter the eyes at him again. That is if I dont get a giggling fit thinking about the hands on the hips bit.

I do know that culture is different and relationships are the same the world over, so thanks for the patience and tips.

i've never heard about a Polish tradition of winking....
and yes, some guys do that and some do not... some Americans do that too, so if it really is a tradition, not only Polish then...

;)

ha, ha.............let us know how it worked out for you. I never listened to my mother's advices though;)

Well its a complete disaster he is now been polite. god I hate polite. I think I've left it too late :(

anyway will give it a couple of more tries.

No I didnt do the hands on the hips -- though it may have been more effective LOL

ah...now i understand......nevermind... ;P


?

I say bite the bullet and ask him to accompany you for a coffee! Hehe...it is always easy to tell people what they should do even when you know you, yourself, wouldn't...

lol...what i noticed about differences between coffee:

British says - Would you like to accompany me for a coffee?
American says - Wanna grab a coffee?
;)

Oh, OK. LOL

Ok think I got this chap all wrong now, cost were just waving at each other now as he comes and goes :(

push and pull technique?

do my fecking head in technique LOL :)
