Loriana Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 A few years ago I met this guy on vacation in Portugal. He was a waiter at this restaurateur that me and my family went to a lot. Naturally because we went there a lot we became friendly with him, he was just really nice and even drove us back to the airport which I thought was so sweet. Anyway I ended up staying in touch with him on Facebook and in that time he has liked some of my pics and has messaged me here and there. I've been back to Portugal since and every time I have let him know and me and my family would go to the restaurant to see him. Every time he sees me he extends his hand kind of like he wants me to shake it, but when I take his hand he pulls me closer to him so that I can hug him, he still holds my hand as I do this, it's really sweet. Anyway I updated my profile pic on Facebook the other day and he liked it and a few days later he sent me a message saying that he is coming to the UK for a few months. I was on vacation at the time so I messaged him back saying that maybe we will see each other when I get back. He didn't message back for a few days and the next time he did it was at 12am on Saturday asking me when I was coming back. I returned home yesterday and messaged him to say I was back and we just chatted about how cold it was and that was it. I am a little confused, I hadn't heard from him for a few months and then he messaged me saying he would be in the UK. He then messaged me asking when I was coming back, but he hasn't mentioned meeting up. So I am a bit confused by the conversation because it sounds like he wants to meet up, but he hasn't asked me to yet. I don't know whether he does want to meet up or if he was just making conversation. What do you guys think?
Hermes Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Loriana. Nice and friendly is just that. Nice and friendly. Btw on the Continent (where I have lived most of my life) it is usual to shake hands a lot, and also to hug a lot. We're a lot more tactile shall we say! So, has he reached the shores of U.K. yet or has plans just for coming over for two months. (Work? Study?). If he wants to meet up then he will let you know. don't read too much into pleasantness and friendliness.
Hollyj Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I agree with Hermes. You are reading too much into this. It sounds like he would like to meet up casually, as a friend.

He said he is here to improve his English because he is going to work as a waiter on a cruise ship in a few months.
Hermes Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 So, no big deal then. If he contacts you, well and good, and if he doesn't....does that present some problem?

No it won't present a problem I was just confused as to why he was asking about my schedule if he didn't want to meet up lol. But you were right nice and friendly is just that.
