Advice I am American! What does it mean a Polish female/women touches and rubs her nose?

I know this Polish women/girl at school, we were on the subway tonight

I kept falling a sleep but decided to stare at her.. most of the time it was by accident... but I DID FIND HER attractive and decided to stare anyway, then dozed off on the train for a bit.

She was next to someone talking noticed staring from her too, at the time, and she rubbed her nose! But when she left when i decided to look again she rubbed her nose again!

what does this mean?

she rubbed/ touched her nose, just so you know.

What does poland superstitions mean, like what are they?

Uhm, maybe like about half the women in the world she thinks her nose is too big and thought you were staring at it?

well I find her attractive and that can not be it.... because I was dozing off on the train it was a long day for me. But i kept waking up and it was not intentional and first and caught her staring at me, she was next to her guy friend and some girl friend... so no. I did not think he nose was big, I never hound peoples noses.

Her nose was itching, it happens.

Ridicolous thread .. I am not a big fan of Poland .. but come on .. are you serious???

all I asked for was advice anyway

see

i asked about nose rubbing touching stuff.

Yes. This is an old polish traditional from our years and years of being occupied, we couldn't always talk to soldiers in the occupying so we would rub our nose when foreigners were interested in us when we wanted to make their babies.

i do not read body language well when I am tired.

Some people get an inchy nose when they are nervous. Don't stare, she probably thinks you are a psycho

Great and true!! :D

Next time get the phone number!

well was half a sleep what do polish women act like values etc?

Maybe she meant GET LOST BUGGER!:)

I know muteness people rub nose to say ''F#k up''..

she was not mute nor am i BUGGER.

It means that she was suppressing an urge to sneeze.

it means, her nose itches.

ConanD,maybe she's telling you not to be nosy lol:)

it wouldn't have anything to do with the flu that is going around, would it ?

Well I do not know polish sayings and stuff because looking at me back and fourth like that.. she did it twice before she left to get off subway and previous when I was dozing off and waking up not really sleeping.

You looked intriguing. We don`t see such sights in Poland.

Keep on good work.

ConanD,I would say not to over analyze,there doesn't have to be a significance.

Well I understand what you mean p3undone. But that is certainly nice on that subway. The subways where I live are better looking sleeker longer. It was a rapid transit bus pretty much it is a mix of subway like carts and bus. So not subway really, it is rapid transit, and where is subway located at to be exact?

I do not live in Poland btw.... i merely asked about the woman and culture. I can be from England, South Africa, America, Germany, Mars, take your pick. We have a lot of native Polish Women and polish Women who are immigrants and not immigrants raised here.. so most likely they know the culture.

True.

So yeah if there is a polish immigrant most likely they know the culture, and their future kids will know it, since polish like a lot of cultures are strict and stick to each other, the children then will have the history of the family and decide to mix with what was shown in the picture at the top, or other backgrounds, or with other people. I know in New york they do... not that I live there.

Don't think too much lol

ok I will not.

I also heard it can mean rejection and other stuff like suspicion and secrecy.

Was fun~! I was getting scam email in my mail box, sigh.

maybe she thought you were staring at her nose, and her nose felt self-conscious.

As I said, she was nervous because you were staring at her. People blink and get a itchy nose when they are anxious, simple fact of biology.

You are not very good at communicating are you?

I'm from Poland and I've never heard of this kind of thing. Trust me, she really didn't mean anything by that. She was probably getting shy from you looking at her. I hope it helped :)

My father told me that when your nose itches it means you will get really really angry!!!!

Maybe she'd love to have a smaller nose or she's trying to tell you to take a shower (LOL)
