And I like her a lot, gosh, I seriously do. She's a friend, we've been pretty close at some point, but now, we don't talk, she doesn't contact me, I didn't contact her for years because I've been super busy and didn't get in touch with people that much. We live in different countries now. Maybe she doesn't care anymore so she doesn't even make the effort to reply?
Now, I think Polish women are the most beautiful in the world, I seriously do, but it's not just her beauty that I like. I like her personality, she's sweet, or at least, that's how she's always been to me: sweet, good hearted and super funny!
Never had a fight so it's not like she has a problem with me....I hope.
she is not going to know by telepathy that you like her. Send her an email or even better ring her up, make it clear you like her. You have nothing to lose by doing that - and there is no specific way to handle Polish women except that they like confident, chivalrous guys.
The key word is "chivalrous" And the lovely thing about Polish chivalry, as opposed to the superficial Austrian variety, is that, by G_d, they really mean it!!
Only last year, the 70+ father of a Polish friend met my wife for dinner at a local Polish eatery, and (having forewarned her earlier) upon taking leave, promptly stood erect in front of her and raised her hand with the customary "Całuję Pani rączki!", charming both my wife and myself:-)
Mind you, the man was a simple factory worker his whole life, speaks not a syllable of English (though a smattering of Russian) and probably barely graduated fifth grade. Yet such manners across the board in that country nearly draw tears to my eyes!
And I like the fact that polish men argue a lot with each other, usually in discussions. They're more interesting I find cos they have views on everything
Bravewarrior polish women like other women like confident men. The fact that you are in different country : i wonder what is the point to contact her for romance? Keep her as a friend though :). Or contact her face to face when you go in her country as a friend.
Maybe you should go on with your life and meet other women because dont worry she is probably busy with her life !
Polish men particularly can sometimes come across in discussions, especially in a foreign language, as what we in the US call "characters" aka "wise guys", arrogant, intellectually aggressive know-it-alls who can be rather insensitive to public opinion with regard to the constraints of good manners once they think they're in the right:-)
A Pole usually doesn't need wódka to sound off at the drop of a hat, Dreamergirl! Disagreement with him/her will generally do the trick. Once this happens, watch out:-)
By contrast, Germans for instance, tend to argue just as aggressively, only more surgically, moreover, with less concern for emotions. With almost Kantian precision and sometimes geometric logic, they'll slash the other person's argument to shreds!
I've known Polish men to become passionate to the point of crying if the subject is especially close to their heart. Polish women go for this big time, I'm told.
Hmmm, never noticed that. However, I will admit that I've rarely ever seen American guys become quite as impassioned about their history as Polish people whom I've encountered. They respond strongly to perceived slights and become worked up whenever their country is impugned, either by the Polish or even the foreign press!
I didn't contact her for years because I've been super busy
Maybe she doesn't care anymore so she doesn't even make the effort to reply?
If I had to guess, the clue is in the above statements of yours. Maybe she feels that as you didn't have time for her, she now doesn't have time for you?
