Hi Ranj,
I was going over some of the posts and it reminded me of what I noticed in my Polish friend, at first. First came his wit. He was actually funny and witty. Not very many people make me laugh. Then, the way he looked at me. Now, I misinterpreted it, it seems, because he tells me that he was never attracted to me, and that Europeans tend to make longer eye contact with each other than North Americans do. That it was due to his upbringing, only, and not a sign of romantic interest. We are both in our forties. He does have a boyish look to him, and a generous body which I find lovely. Blond hair and blue eyes. But what really touches me is his kindness, his thoughtfulness and his wisdom about life. His ways and his beliefs remind me of what is important in life. Perhaps by wisdom I really mean good, down-to-earth common sense. A certain genuineness, as someone here has called it, I believe.
Sorry for going on like this... I got lost in my thoughts. But they are lovely thoughts thanks to a Polish man who has changed my life.
OK, handkerchiefs all around now that I have gotten so sentimental.
