Language / I truly admire you / You truly admire me? How do you say this in Polish? [9]


It should be : Did you truly admire me?


It should be : Would you truly admire me?

(Sorry, hope you didn't mind me correcting).

Love / Why should I support my partners sister and boyfriend? [23]


I definitely agree with this.

Get your act together for the sake of the baby. I am a woman but I do not agree with the actuations of your girlfriend nor her family. You should man up, kick them out of your life and talk to your gf seriously. If she doesn't change or grow up, then I think you need to think long and hard if you still want to continue your relationship with her.

You are already a father; and whether or not you continue your relationship with your gf that will never change. The most important thing at the moment is you love and support your child, financially and emotionally.(and-for crying out loud-You're already 30!You're not that young, you know.....)

PS Stay away from the vodka if you can't handle yourself drinking that stuff(or any other booze for that matter).

Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]


I agree. Best not to mess up someone else's relationship. Try to get over it.(yes, I'm basing it on experience). Avoid the Polish if you can. (easier said than done, but it can be done if you really want to).

I think you better concentrate on deciding whether you want to stay with your boyfriend or not. Have a serious talk with him, and see if both of you can still salvage and improve the relationship, especially since you have children. Because even though you have kids, if you are no longer happy with him, sooner or later, both your behavior and his will be very obvious to the kids and they will be the ones affected most. Besides, it's no use being in a relationship if you are no longer happy with him.

I still say you try to sort out your relationship with your bf first. If it doesn't work out, fine, then try to have an amicable separation if only for your kids. After that move on. Best to try to forget though your Polish crush as he is in a relationship with someone else. You will just be getting into a messy situation by trying to get in their way. Try to avoid him at all costs.


That is "IF" the guy loves his girlfriend enough.

Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]

And after he learns of your feelings for him, what's next?When you have sent him a letter detailing all your feelings for him, do you think you will be at peace? Yes, you do not have any intention of messing up a relationship but do you think if the gf learns of it will it not be a cause of strife between them?

I hate to say this, but whether you admit it or not, you want to tell him your feelings because you(subconsciously) also want to know how he feels for you when he learns of your feelings for him-how he will react, and what would be his next move(does he have feelings for you too? will he choose his gf over you?. etc., etc.)

You should instead divert your attention to more important issues such as your kids and your relationship with your bf. If your bf won't change for good, then leave him and start over with your kids(away from the bf and away from the other guy).

I am more or less in the same dilemma because the guy I like also is in a relationship but I won't make any effort to tell him my feelings simply because he is in a relationship(nevermind if the relationship is in the brink of breaking up). If I were you I'd do the same-THINK SENSIBLY, DEAR.

Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]


Well and good then. The kids should always be top priority; the bf.....yes, any problem can be solved with a serious talk.(unless he's stubborn enough not to want to change for the better....)


It's your call, though I can assure you that if you do discover that he has feelings for you as well...then you will never be at peace.Because it is hard enough already knowing that he is in a relationship; it will be undoubtedly harder knowing that he has feelings for both of you and yet both of you are still with your current partners.


Not possible for me, dear. I see the guy almost everyday and if he indeed(as he claims) issues with his gf, he can sort it out himself(fix it or leave her) without me meddling. I don't want to have a guilty conscience. Besides, his life is complicated as it is, I don't want him to complicate my life as well.

Love / Filipino guy with a Polish girl.. [60]


All of them are by the time they reach adulthood.


Really? I didn't know that.

Love / Filipino guy with a Polish girl.. [60]

There are a- - - - - -s and j- - - s from the world over, unfortunately. They abound everywhere, whether it be in the Philippines, Poland or UK. But yes, Filipinos as a whole are a very nice and friendly people.

Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]


Ah boys will be boys, still immature. It's up to you as to how long you can tolerate his behavior. One thing I can say for sure though is : it is wrong to stay in a relationship just for the sake of the kids. They will be the ones affected most.


He's been saying that for the last few months, but he hasn't done it, so I reckon he won't leave her anyway.

And if he finally does leave her , I wouldn't tell him...unless he asked me first.

Love / Filipino guy with a Polish girl.. [60]


Filipinos in general have a very good sense of humor, even in the face of adversity. You probably met the serious but rare types....

Love / Filipino guy with a Polish girl.. [60]


Then it must be a good combination then, Polish and Filipinos(notwithstanding their cultural differences). But then it takes two to tango, i.e., it takes 2 people to make a relationship work, not just the attraction or the sense of humor.

A Polish man I know had a dry, warped and twisted sense of humor that at one point I was so annoyed with him and ready to give him a slap if he hadn't told me immediately he was joking. He had the sense to tell me later on that it's not the standard Polish sense of humor; it's just Him having that dry sense of humor. You just couldn't tell whether he was joking or not. So there.

Love / Cultural difference or flirting? My boyfriend is from Poland. [7]

Hi, maybe this link might help : polishforums.com/love/questions-men-flirting-cheating-liking-69417/

Love / Cultural difference or flirting? My boyfriend is from Poland. [7]

I am not Polish and am still in the process of learning about Polish culture in this forum(as well as about Polish men) but this much I can say : FLIRTING IS A GLOBAL PHENOMENON, not just being done by Polish men.(but yes, based on experience some can be incredible flirts).

It's not really all about cultural differences, just be vigilant and trust your instincts as to whether it's just harmless flirting or a dangerous one.

Love / What do you like most about Polish men? :) [51]

LOL. also, a dry/bland sense of humour.

Love / Confused . . . did I Misunderstand Him? Found out he is from Poland. [13]

Nevermind if you don't see him again. I'm sure you will be meeting a lot more younger men in the future.(ahhh, cherish the feeling and be flattered.Means you're still hot!). Although I do wonder what will be the ending of your story with him. Hope you will still get to see him though,....

Love / Opinion from Polish men on this please (Polish men so 'spiritually' romantic?) [43]

I advise you to be wary of him and his motives. You barely know him;one month is not enough to know a person, be it Polish or otherwise. Don't be too eager to get engaged. Get to know him a lot first.

Love / What does my Polish work colleague's behaviour mean? [12]

Sounds like some Polish man I know, who's immature, and childish at that. Very different in the way he treats me from other ladies, teases me, annoys me, ****** me off, though he did admit one time that he likes me. Now lately he's been saying(and says he's serious) he wants to marry me and have babies with me, that my age will compensate for his age(I'm older than him), etc., etc. ! Jokes with other ladies but with me the treatment is so different. I never know when he's serious(though really I don't treat everything he says as serious even though he keeps saying he is because I just think he's immature and just a joker) or not but it's getting to the point that I will have tell him to f_ _ _ k off because people are starting to talk and it's beginning to make me uncomfortable when we're working(just like what you're feeling right now). Also,......... the jerk has a girlfriend!

Bottomline though is, I think your colleague likes you. He(and like all other jerks regardless of nationality) just has a crappy way of showing it. Though if it's really getting to the point that you've become so uncomfortable with him just talk to him and tell him to back off.

Love / What does my Polish work colleague's behaviour mean? [12]

Oh they all say that when they're here. LOL(of course he's not with his wife because she is in Poland). =D


Don't give him false hopes with phrases like that. Unless of course, you really like him and want to give him a chance.

Love / What does my Polish work colleague's behaviour mean? [12]

That would be alright. Tell him that when you're both at work, just concentrate on work. But if he still won't stop, oh well, report him to your supervisor.

Love / Polish friend cutting off contact indirectly - is this a cultural misunderstanding? [15]

Ah, you've just met the typical immature man-boy( a boy trapped in a man's body).

Email him and if he doesn't respond, move on. Not worth your time, really. If he's really a true friend,he will tell you his reasons instead of shutting you out.

Love / Polish friend cutting off contact indirectly - is this a cultural misunderstanding? [15]


For that I also definitely agree(though I think Stubbornness can be both a good or bad trait, depending on the circumstances). In this scenario, I do think his stubbornness also plays a role.

Love / In love with a perfect woman from Poland (she has a boyfriend?) [9]

Sorry to hear you have lost... I am not going to say you and her were not meant for each other, probably you just met at the wrong place and wrong time.

I had that same experience(and the same ending as yours). I didn't lose, I just let go. I believe it is not right to ruin relationship just so you can have that piece of happiness with that person.

Better to move on and get on with life....good luck.

Love / Age difference in relationship with a guy or girl from Poland? [28]


Very interesting point of view. I do agree though, that women tend to mature faster than most men.

Love / Age difference in relationship with a guy or girl from Poland? [28]

I think society has been quite harsh with couples who have large age differences. If the man is several years older than the woman, he is deemed to be a sugar daddy, dirty old man, what have you, etc. The woman, on the other hand, is branded a gold digger, one after his benefits, money, etc.

On the other hand, if the woman is older than the man, she is deemed a cougar, one after the young boys, etc. There's not much ostracism on the part of the man though he would also be assumed to be after her money as well..


I agree that age is just a number. But it will not be just a number if the people involved have varying interests and mindsets based on that number. But if they do have shared interests and values, then everything will just fall into place. The relationship will work no matter the age difference

Love / Age difference in relationship with a guy or girl from Poland? [28]


lol you've been quite busy during the past years.... =D

The farthest age difference I had in a relationship was years ago. I was 25 and he was 49. Lasted for 6 years and only ended because we both drifted apart. We were both busy with work(I had my career, he had his) but until now we are still friends. Very caring and understanding.

Now I'm in my 40's and what surprises me is that I meet men a lot younger than me(one is more than 10 years younger) and I'm thinking...Whoa! I must be really getting old!

Love / Too late for a serious relationship? or not - I'm 39 and looking for someone Polish [27]


Agree 100%. Do stay away from rebound relationships though =D.

39 isn't old. I'm in my 40's and I'm not even worried about my age(and I'm a woman!). When you exude confidence within you, age is no longer a matter of concern or worry. You will find the right person for you eventually, who I'm sure not give a damn about your age.

Love / Age difference in relationship with a guy or girl from Poland? [28]

Are you talking about short term affairs or one night stands? It is probably easy to have relationships like that, but another thing when it comes to serious relationships.


Oh last time I checked, I still haven't had any claws yet. LOL

Love / Age difference in relationship with a guy or girl from Poland? [28]


Age would not really matter, I guess....if both of you have the same interests and priorities. But...if one wants to get married and have kids, while the other(obviously the older half) doesn't(and mainly because of the age issue AGAIN)... wouldn't age be an issue this time?

PS And I cannot imagine someone in her 40s or 50s giving birth. Oh dear.

Love / Age difference in relationship with a guy or girl from Poland? [28]

Very interesting opinions.

I used to abhor the idea of an older woman dating a younger man, but when one of my mates married a younger man(think 6-7 year difference-and they are still together after 15 years) I thought, ah, now that's different. But then I see or hear , say, a 50 year old woman dating a 25 or 30 year old guy, I'm thinking...do they need a mother figure or something?


Defo agree on this.
