Winking at a woman - the Polish way ;-)

12 Aug 2007 /  #1
Hello , I'm a new user here . This may be a silly question but here goes ...

In England if a man winks at a woman it usually means that he either

1. He has something in his eye
2. Is letting you know that you are sharing a secret
3. Is letting you know that he is attracted to you .

Is this the same for Polish men ?

I've noticed that a couple of Polish men that I know ( but not that well ) have winked at me when I've said hi to them . I have always assumed that it was just a friendly "hello" gesture rather than a flirting thing .

A Polish guy at work who I have a crush on ( and I am on speaking terms with ) walked towards me the other day gave me a huge smile and a wink . I was so surprised that I think I gave him a slightly odd look . I think I may have offended him by misreading a friendly hello as something more flirtatious ( wishful thinking lol ) . Or was he actually flirting with me ?

His behaviour seems to have changed from friendly to polite since then .

Any opinions would be welcome ! Thanks .

Did this wink come with a slight nod of the head ? If so, it was 'hi'

But on the other hand your luck could be in.

I don't think that there was a nod . It was a huge smile and a wink .

When other guys have winked at me it has come with a nod and it just felt like a friendly "hello " thing .

It's funny though that small gestures like a wink can be completely misread by people from different countries .

Perhaps he has changed his behaviour from friendly to polite because he has realised that I may possibly have miss read his friendly "hi" as flirting . Haha . I'll just carry on being friendly and see what happens next :)
