I have been getting along really well with my polish friend for a good 3 months now...she is here as an au pair. We both understand how we feel for each other - we like each other very much. We also both accept that at times, talking to one another can become awkward or hard..she says its her fault, but how can it be? its her first time to a new country and she is vunerable. She is quite a shy girl, and other thatn me all the other people she knows are mere aqquaintences. I would just liek to know how i could try to make a conversation with her more often...i love talking with her and spending time with her.

As you may have guessed, this message could have been posted on any forum about any person as its not totally specific to a polish forum, but maybe you guys could help anyways. Thanks,

Chris.

You can tell her that you want to learn Polish. She would be the perfect teacher for you and it would be a good excuse to spend more time with her.

I used to be shy too, it just takes time to get used to everything and gain confidence. Make her feel very special. Get her flowers. A small gift. Be happy with each other and laugh a lot.

Hmm - I think you should start with simple words and phrases. Maybe you could ask her to teach you some simple Polish words? In return, you'll teach her some English words -- and it could be fun for both of you I think... :)

If she is shy... you need to find ways not to make her shy.. Don't know how though.

I started meeting a Polish girl who had said she'd help me learn Polish. Within weeks I had fallen in love with her. I think she only liked me. That's right about Polish girls and spells. She has to be the most caring, sensitive girl I have met. She is so appreciative of the smallest gestures of kindness- an absolute angel. However, I once accidentally called her a bad name after drinking heavily. Since then she has not accepted my apology and is reluctant to see me again. How can one make amends? Flowers and chocolates? I have even written a letter to which she hasn't replied. Are all Polish girls so fragile? I fail to understand such an extreme reaction which I never expected from her.

Yeah, it a shocker.. a uk girl would probably take a bit of insult, slap and a tickle at 3am on a saturday morning as part of the normal courtship, but the poles just dont get as wasted as we do so regularly...

Its all part of her 'rules'.. Imagine british courtship in the 1920's... to get her back, you are going to have to woo her pants off.. it doesnt have to cost loads of money, try to think up something a little funny that is really special to her, maybe building on a private joke you two have.. or something you find adorable about her.. lalala.. Polish love some practicle gift..

If after this she isnt interested, give up, becuase you are highly likely to insult her again next saturday night so unless she can accept it occasionally your not going to work out anyway..
