My Polish guy won't tell me his feelings about me - is it usual?

I have been friends with a Polish guy for a couple of months now, he wont really tell me how he feels about me as he is going home to Poznan for a couple of months - all he will say is that I am his best friend. I found out yesterday that he has bought me a diamond ring - do Polish guys do this for friends or do you think there could be more to it????:.)

diamond rings for friends? naah. there must be something else, unless the diamond is counterfeit ;)

How did you find out ? Maybe someone is having a joke ?
Either that or he could be about to propose !!!???

Well, he was travelling in a car with our boss and one of his closest friends - they both told me independently that he has bought me this ring - I really hope it's more than just friends!!! I don't think it would be a joke - these people are very sincere. I have some really close male friends but have never bought them jewellery :.) I know he sees me as more than a 'best friend' but it's a waiting game I think. I am going to stay with him in Poznan in February and then he comes back to the UK - so hopefully????

Hi Ancilla - Sounds genuine then. Sometimes its hard for people to share their feelings, especially when there is a language barrier. Maybe by buying you a ring could be his way of demonstrating to you how he feels. Actions speaking louder than words - so to speak.

Hi Szkotja2007- I really hope it is - it's like we are dating but without the word 'dating' coming into it - he likes to call them 'appointments' - he is such a genuine person and I think he is just waiting to pick his moment - it's my birthday in a couple of weeks so here's hoping!!!! Thanks for the replies.

You want to be very careful. The chances are he is already married back home and the ring was meant for his partner but you just found out. Now, he has to lie and think something up and what better than to say that the ring is for you. I know the Poles for a long long time and I do not trust Eastern European people at all. I would rather put my trust in the Turks!

Don't listen to this moron ancilla. There are liars and genuine people in every country, regardless of nationality. I would put my trust in a Pole much faster than I would in a Canadian or American. When I lived there, I had a tough time putting trust in anyone. Americans, and Canadians especially are known for liking to backstab people in the workplace. Happened to me many times...

And by the way, good luck with this guy, I hope this is the beginning of a fruitful relationship!

Ancilla,

I hope it is not unusual as I have been "friends" with a Polish guy for three years. It has been a very strange relationship because if I mention "love" he says I had better look elsewhere as there is no such thing as love; however, anyone (including his family) all say I am his girlfriend and they can't wait until we get married, etc. I have tried to talk to him about his feeling, but have finally given up. I just enjoy the time we have together and don't worry about if it is for now or for always...

Good luck to you! I hope the ring is for you and you get it soon...

That is very nice of you. Of course, Greek people are always honest are they not!

I'm half Greek, and to add to that, I would still rather put my trust in a Greek than in an Anglo-Saxon

I think that you are the moron and in fact I found the American personality to be similar to the polish. Canadian people are quite different to Americans. When I was in Australia, again, they were more like the English would be in the early 1960's and I preferred it there compared to anywhere else. the Turks were more friendly than Greek people but then again, being more friendly is not the same thing as being necessarily more honest. Of all nations Traditionally the British hate the French but of all nationalities I have met, the French seem to be the one that will not rip you off in your change.


The Greeks certainly put all their trust in to the Anglo Saxons to end and win World War 2.

Please be careful, I agree with Michals' comment above. My Polish lover found it very hard to let me know his true feelings, always found it easy though when he was half a sleep or after a drink or two ie Kocham Cie. Said he would take me to Poland in February to meet his parents and to show me his home town.

He bought me a really beautifull gold watch, necklace and bracelet set for Christmas, he then dumped me!!! He now doesn't understand why I'm so hurt and totally confused. Now he wants us to be BEST friends.

Like you non of my other male friends have bought me jewellery and wanted to stay friends once we had finished romantically!!!!???

I think he's probably bought the ring for someone in Poland and his friends had to help him cover up. Interested to find out what happens. LOL

there are plenty of other threads just like that here in these forums. this is just the freshest.

I'm sorry but I doubt that, seeing as how our Greece has one of the highest tourist rates in Europe and with various nationalities coming in with work and study visa's. We are very tolerant and nice to anyone. There mean and nice people wherever you go, just because you probably ran into an ******* whom was having a bad day in Greece (like I have many times) it doesn't mean all are. Also please regard the 80,000+ Poles living in Greece today. ^_^
