Love / Advice for a non-Pole - more than friendship? [5]

Other threads have become slow and I have found some more time to go through our posts here again. Probably my mind was preoccupied with sth else before, now I see things more clearly.

So, you are worried that the guy is not pushing you into more intimate relationship. You expected some action on his part, e.g., during your trip, but nothing happened. You are afraid he wants to remain on friendly terms only instead of love.

However, it is somewhat confusing to know if this man wants more eventually or is just being a good guy

As I said before, the reasons might be versatile. If we brainstorm ideas, here what comes out of it:

I don`t count what you already said: polite, good manners etc.

1. He might be a devout Catholic who doesn t engage in premarital sex.
2. He might be extremely shy and never had sex before.
3. He considers himself unattractive.
4. He considers you unattractive.
5. He might be impotent because of mental disorders or traumas.
6. He might be physically impaired, like a war veteran.
7. He might be completely asexual, ie. not interested in sex.
8. He might be gay but is uncertain about it and wants to make sure.
9.. He might be bi and has a dilemma which side he prefers.
10. He must ask his mother first.

I guess time will tell

Yes, as always. .

pushing you into more

Sorry, I meant: pressing on you to engage in

Point 8 could be developed into 8B: he is gay and perfectly knows about it but he hangs around with you to convince others he isn`t.

No sex or anything. I think he is super polite/respectful etc.

Yes, maybe, but there might also be a few other reasons behind such behaviour.

it is somewhat confusing to know if this man wants more eventually or is just being a good guy.

Yes, we are also confused. But you need to say one thing: do you want him to want more or not? :)

Simply speaking, what are you writing it all for? What is your purpose exactly?

Are Poles different?

Some are, some aren`t. Can you say that ALL male Spaniards are the same Speedy Gonzaleses towards women? :):)

All humanity not this or that tribe suffered one time or other.

Yes, Iron doesn` t seem to realise the difference between traditional feuds by tribes or nations and the Holocaust.

Germans wantonly murdering ....... with the same systematic, assembly-line fashion of the Holocaust,

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Yes. We left the car in Żnin, visited Wenecja and Biskupin and came back.

Dolnosląsk asked me to show trains and I wanted to satisfy that request. The problem is that all trains I could present are narrow gauge from different parts of Poland so it doesn`t make much sense. I have never been into trains, the last time I travelled on a real train was when I was a teenager.

So

boats, trains, tourist spots, famous poles could be sportsmen etc

How about tourists spots from our vacations in Poland?

let`s start from the oldest ones:

This is a model and real building. What and where?

Three Reasons Why Poles Are Not Regular Human Beings...

Excuse me, but the title doesn`t correspond to the contents. If the stories mentioned by the OP concern one topic, namely survival despite the high content of alcohol in blood, then it shouldn`t be reasons but cases/examples.

UK, Ireland / Why English do not like Polish? [417]

Dolno, we are talking about dislike of Poles now, not about Harry. Go up and check the title of the thread: Why English do not like Polish?

The point is that some Americans accuse Brits of things they do themselves. Vide: Joker`s remark to a Polish woman.

Conclusion: some barbarian Americans seem to have a complex of inferiority towards Europe. Poland is in Europe, so despising Europe they also despise Poland and Poles. Simple.

Yes, your explanation counts as a full point!
Indeed, underground parody banknotes issued by banned Solidarity as communists weren`t able to track down and arrest all activists. Reagan banknote refers to the economic sanctions that US administration imposed on the communist regime - no more loans!

The second note features Rakowski, a former chief editor of a political magazine, who was a vice Prime Minister at the time. He was hated by most Poles because he officially supported martial law and abused Wałęsa.

I have no more in my collection of photos but as you said, there were many of them, you probably saw this site below.

Anybody interested, check them here:

trains,

Where was the picture taken?

SS Sołdek ,

Yes, Sołdek was the first ship built in Poland after WW2. That was some achievement because the shipping industry had been completely destroyed.

I'm still missing something though, and I can't find out anything about it online.

Ok, so the riddle is: who did it? Why did they do it? What was the historical background of their motives? :):)

It is available in Polish version. I always suspected you know a little Polish after all.

Law / Child support in remarriage and child support increase for adult children in Poland [10]

This is nicely twisted. :):) I smell a rat but never mind, someone else might want to deal with a similar problem in the future.

No, I don't love him but I am horribly empathetic...

I see. You must be a very good person. :)

I said I don't mind taking responsibility of our sons if we divorce, so he can pay only for daughters, he won't be strained more

Alimony isn`t automatic, an ex spouse has to demand it officially to have it granted by the court. If you are so empathetic, you can simply abstain from demanding it from your husband so he will only pay his old alimony. :):).

Yes! There were two destroyers, Burza (Storm) and Błyskawica (Lightning). I managed to visit Storm before it was scrapped in 1970s.

Hint - this a warship.

Love / Advice for a non-Pole - more than friendship? [5]

shared a room went on 8 day roadtrip of Poland and shared rooms again.

Hmm, that suggests an already deep relationship. If you told your friends and family that you spent a few nights with a man in one room, would they believe it is just friendship? :):)

So, am I seeing things? Is it only friendship?

Oh, it just occured to me that I am thinking too conservative. I can be such a rightard at times. :):) By friendship, do you mean a platonic relationship? Or, according to new trends, casual sex without responsibilities? And when you ask if he is serious about this friendship, you mean: will he marry me after this initial stage of free love (sex)?

Law / Child support in remarriage and child support increase for adult children in Poland [10]

Yes, your money can be taken into consideration by the court to help your husband pay his alimony.

Read the lawyer`s answer to a similar case.
e-prawnik.pl/porady-prawne/podwyzszenie-alimentow-a-dochody-drugiej-zony.html

And if I divorced, what are the child support terms for both the girls and my sons?

If you divorce, you won`t have to share your own income/assets with your husband`s previous children.

You say boats. Ok, I will try to dig up something although boats weren`t my cup of coffee unless they are warships.

What is it?

That`s why I said it was tricky.

OK, you wanted to change the topic. Do you have anything specific in mind or you don`t care? What else are you good at?

Pzl Polish fighter WWII

Yes, the one used in 1939, Though slower and worse armed, it was a problem for Germans.

Ok, this is the last plane and most difficult:

This one is tricky. Why?

The markings on the plane aren`t original. During the war the plane flew in a Canadian squadron, later it played a role in the film Battle of Britain and Poland bought it in 1977. The current insignia relate to the Polish 308 Squadron which used this type, Mk.XVIE, at the end of the war.

you been to the Krakow museum to take that picture?

One of my fav museums in Poland, combat planes were always my hobby, the ceiling of my bedroom was cluttered with models.

I'm talking about American Jews who never lost their parents or grandparents during the WWII and they claim a victim status

Yes, the majority of contemporary Jews are like that.
However, there are still many who can claim victim status. Are you going to check each old Jew`s credentials whether they have the right to such claims or don`t?

Yes, A beautiful plane, I never cease to admire its shape, it is so ..... graceful, like a ballerina dancing Swan Lake. As for beating F16, Americans had better electronics on their planes. e..g, radar. As always.

Oh, I see, that`s what you were told by local farmers in that Norwegian village where you reside. Let me remind you I was talking about Polish farmers.
