Hey guys.

 

I met a French guy (28y) at a chance encounter. He said he hoped to see me again. I said it was unlikely as I was moving back to UK in September. He looked a bit crestfallen and said we should go for drinks to celebrate. So I said okay and I gave him my number.

 

So he started texting me, quite often, a few lines at a time when I texted back. If I didn't reply then he would leave it and text me again the next day asking how I was doing. He liked to send me photos of what he was doing, like bbqs, cooking, skating etc. It seems like he loves cooking.

 

He said we should have some lunch together and catch up. He asked me a few times. Finally I was free and I suggested a place. So he came to meet me and we had a nice two hour lunch together. He paid for the bill and was very gentlemanly. He took my backpack off me and he also walked me back to work. Later He asked me what my favourite song was and he recorded himself playing the guitar and singing it to me

 

He asked if I had anything broken that I wanted to fix. Cos he was an engineer he could fix anything for me. Phones tv computer etc.

 

He seems like a nice guy. Talked about his parents with love, loved his nephews and nieces. He is also very intelligent (he does aerospace engineering). He said he broke up with his girlfriend of two years 6 months ago and he said it was hard to find someone who was genuine.

 

He offered to help me with my French and every day he would text me French phrases and correct me where I was wrong.

 

The second date we had dinner together. He said he was excited to meet. We stayed there for two hours and he was very funny and we had a good conversation. He does a lot of hobbies and is well rounded and cultured. He paid for the bill too.

 

He said we should go and walk outside, somewhere nice. We sat on a park bench and we talked for about three more hours.

 

At the start it was just innocent brushes of the hand, or steering me away from traffic etc. When we sat down he kind of sat closer and closer. He would brush my hair away from my eyes or pat my arm or my head. He said that he would teach me to do the kiss on both cheeks (cos I did it wrong) and then got me to practice it a few times.

 

It was actually really nice feeling to be kissed on the cheek. He asked if it made me uncomfortable but i said no it's okay. He said that everyone should have the habit of greeting with a kiss like the french cos he thought it was nice.

 

He asked me what my favourite movies were and said we could watch one at his place sometime.

 

He insisted on walking me back home. Then we did the kissing on the cheeks a few times. He texted me when he got home saying he couldn't wait to see me again and that he was thinking about me and not sleepy yet. He said he had a great time and it was nice talking to me.

 

Me being British is so not used to being charmed like this. He knows that I am moving away soon. He is looking for a job and may move back to Europe too. I am wondering if he actually likes me or he is just wanting a quick fling before I leave in September?

 

Description wise. He is 28, French. Glasses. About 5 foot 8 dark brown hair. I am a Japanese girl, 27, shy and slightly geeky

He actually likes you And he is looking for a quick fling.

I don't see how these are mutually exclusive!

 

He's not that smooth though. He should have kissed you properly by now ;)

So any chance of it actually working out into something?

He is considering work options in the U.K. And also asked me if I would like to live in France.

 

Do u think I better not get into this or should I enjoy it and see where it leads for at least a few months?

Enjoy while you can. I think he's just a nice guy. I've had a couple of french male friends over my life (I'm a man) and its just the french/euro thing coming through, most of what you said about how he acts around you rings bells with these guys I used to know.

 

They are not any less 'manly', if thats whats on your mind, I knew my friends in a business sense and they could be as tough as anyone else, no joke, but they know how to 'court' and I was consistently jealous of their natural 'smoothness' hehe.

 

He might pursue you for a fling, who knows? Euro's are in general a lot less hung up about sex than Brits, or Australians (where I am) or Americans.

 

I'd enjoy the experience and only go as far as you're willing to go (of course!). If nothing else it will be a great insight into how different social conditioning can really translate into different real world experiences.

Do you think he is just nice and sweet now until he gets to sleep with me?

Enjoy it while it lasts. If you are unsure of his intentions, hold off on the sex until YOU feel more comfortable.

Keep your legs closed hun....that's all you have to do.

I read on here that men under 6'0" are sexless eunuchs. You must be lying.

Haha.. Was thinking the same thing. All that cheek kissing seems like pussyfooting to me.
