Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]

true. It take a brave girl to call a random guy who came up and gave her his number.. most would be flattered but wouldnt call

Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]

sorry, having some probs. with my log-in. Well I am not advocating giving to anyone who asks.. ideally you would have more than a 5-10 min chat before giving him your number, so you should have some idea if he is OK or not and if you like him.. then he calls and if you decide you are not interested you either tell him then or make an excuse. If he calls again you will recognise his number and dont answer.. after a few tries he will get the message and stop calling.

I disagree with this..if a guy gave me his number I would never call him, but I would be happy to give him mine if I liked him.

this is off topic so feel free to delete.. but its making me so mad that Southern continues to generalise about other nations whilst refraining from telling us where he comes from in case anyone dares do the same...sorry ken for putting it here, but sure it will be deleted soon

Ken I think you are need of boosting your self esteem.. look after yourself and find happiness within and everything else will follow.. you cant pin all your hopes on others.. many people think they will be happier in a relationship, but its usually not the magic cure you hope for.. you have to cure whatever problems you have yourself before you can find happiness with someone else. Sorry I know its easy to say,but small life changes may help you reach your ultimate goal. I dont know what your job is and if you are happy in it, but it sounds like you could do with some kind of change in your life.

Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]


Chin up Ken.. you are way too good for her.. believe me that there are plenty of women out there who dont like flashy guys and couldnt care less about cars and money.. sadly maybe she isnt one of them. I know its hard, but try to forget her and look for someone who is worthy of your affections.. Good luck to you, you seem like a nice genuine person and Im sure you will meet someone far better than her soon. Remember life is what you make it and not worth wasting time pining after somebody who isnt interested in you.

Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]


very true. I had a similar experience... but that can also make it fun as its a long process of getting to know one another..the only problem is when you dont like what you find at the end of it and have invested a lot of time.

Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]

so glad I could be of assistance

Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]

Ken.. I have been reading this thread with interest and wondered what the latest developments are? It doesnt sound like the signs are good so far.. and of course she knows you fancy her and she has most likely told her mates at work.. sorry to say this, but Im sure its true. Please dont listen to those mysogynist prats Southern and Lobo.. their so called results may possibly get you sex, but I doubt they would lead to a lasting relationship with a woman of any intelligence.. and it seems that you would like more than a quick romp with her.. although I guess that would be better than nothing. I suggest you lighten up.. abandon all strategy, try and make her laugh and flirt with the other girls too, then it wont be as intense for her and she will see you as a fun, happy go lucky guy... otherwise you might have the opposite effect than that which you are hoping for. Also, dont put all your eggs in one basket.. consider other women too.

Love / All Polish women can't be nutters can they? [257]

i have to say I agree with Moire on this one.. a good looking girl of 22 working in a nightclub in a foreign country is much more likely to be out for a good time with as many man as possible and take them for what she can get than to be wanting a serious relationship with a man in his 30s. She was clearly playing you and talking of love in order to get something from you.. sorry mate, but move on and never look back.. and as someone else said, if its a relationship you want, then dont base it only on looks.

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]


LOL. well its great to know they are not all stunning!

Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]

Ken Noddy, dont doubt yourself.. no-one is out of your league, imho if anything would put her off it would be more likely to be your lack of confidence rather than your looks.. although having said that some women find shyness endearing, definitely better than arrogance. Personally I dont think you should ask her outright if she is seeing anyone, that would put me off more than anything.. there is nothing wrong with trying to build a friendship first and you will then find that out naturally... although if you act very awkward around her then she will probably be aware that you fancy her. I dont know what kind of place you guys work, but she must have to speak fairly good English to work there.. no?

As for men and women being only friends.. my best mate is a guy and I have many platonic male friends, which I think is very healthy... sadly my bf doesnt see it in quite the same way.. but hey, thats Polish men for you. Anyway, whatever happens I wish you good luck.... believe in yourself and even if you dont get what you hoped for this time, I'm sure you will soon find someone lovely who reciprocates your feelings.. .Polish or not... but slagging off the local girls probably wont help.

UK, Ireland / Where can I find a Polish food shop in central London? [4]

I dont really know Fulham to be honest, but there are tons of Polish food shops in London.. seems like a new one springs up just about every day. Hammersmith is pretty near to you and there are plenty there.. just ask around and you will find.. dont know if they will have your cakes though.

ive just found this for you:

Polish Specialities

USA, Canada / Marriage laws: dual citizenship (Polish and US) preparing to get married to an American. [65]


My bf was thinking about becoming a British citizen, but changed his mind as now Poland is in the EU you have the right to live and work in Britain, so why do you need citizenship? There is a comprehensive written exam that you have to pass (in English) on British history, culture etc..etc..this was brought in last year and is pretty difficult and if you pass that you can then apply, but there is still a lot of form filling and its not an easy process. I think you would have to give up your Polish passport too. Its therefore not really worth it unless you have another reason for wanting to do so (other than wanting to live and work here).

sorry if this sounds harsh but it doesnt sound like there is much trust in your relationship.. I am wondering why you want to stay with this guy if you are fearing he will leave you again?


OK thats fair enough..wont stop him leaving her for someone else though will it?

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]


Interesting comment. why would you want them to get back together?

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]

well time is a great healer... it took me about 8 years to fully recover from a past relationship so I know how you feel.... but Im sure you will eventually meet someone new who is worthy of your love.

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]


thats very true. Very very hard to do in reality, but you cant force someone to stay with you if they are no longer in love.. and who knows, they may come back to you...as the song goes.. if you love someone set them free.. Good luck to you Razz

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]

everyone is different.. some will forgive and others wont.. my partner's wife would take him back tomorrow.. even though he left her for me and we've been living together for 18 months and seeing each other for 2 years. Personally, I wouldnt forgive because you can never forget..its always there at the back of your mind.

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]


do you think they ever consummated that relationship?

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]

I am no expert, I only speak from experience that its not good to confuse the two. How old are you? I have had experiences with younger men, that were fun, but definitely lust..(although at times I thought they were love) Now Im in love (and lust) and I recognise the difference... guess it comes down to whether your relationship is based solely on sex or whether there is a deeper connection.

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]

never confuse love and lust..

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]

doesnt seem to make much sense.. shes best of sticking to talking about her tits..at least she's knows something about that

Love / DO POLISH MEN DATE OLDER WOMEN? [169]


Says who? this is total rubbish, maybe in Poland its not common, but here in the UK I know plenty of gorgeous women in their 30s and even 40s who have never been married.. by choice! (and I include myself in that).. I am 4 yrs older than my Polish bf and its not an issue for us. However, some narrow minded family and friends (Polish) wonder why Ive never been married at my age.. its merely a cultural difference, nothing more.

Food / Barszcz czerwony recipe (Beetroot Soup) [48]

Peterweg.. your fathers method sounds like it would taste great, but Im thinking it sounds a bit messy and may seek another option. Thanks though, youve got me thinking about trying it out this weekend. Worried about cooking Polish food though.. as a non Pole it is never gonna match up to his (my partner) mothers is it.. could be a recipe for disaster :)

My dad used to make great Mulligatawny, but its not exactly Polish.

you wouldnt put yeast in it though would you? do you use fresh chicken stock? guess i should just look up the recipe.

Food / Barszcz czerwony recipe (Beetroot Soup) [48]

thanks for this. I love that soup and would love to have a go... Im not sure where I would leave beetroot to ferment for 10 days though.. maybe an airing cupboard? Can you still make it the same way without the fermenting or is this absolutely vital?
