First, let me introduce myself. I am a Filipina, currently living in Manila, 30yrs old, single. I met a british man online, 38 yrs old, based in HK. We chatted for some time and i guess there was an expectation that we're just getting to know each other and see if we click but no assurance of moving further than that. That wasnt clearly laid out though. Anyway, he came to Manila over the weekend and we met in person for the first time. I'll cut it short, it was a fun day and he held my hand several times while walking and he also hugged me really tight for quite a long time. He told me he wants to spend more time with me when he comes back. When? That is the question. He also told me to keep in touch. He's now back in HK and he seldom sends me messages. Although now he says sorry for not being able to reply right away and that he's just been extremely busy at work. I've read abt the culture of British men being reserved and all but I am not sure if this is the reason. I am confused whether I should stay or not. We do not have a commitment, I know. I guess I just want to know where to stand. Hope you can help me. Thanks!
There is a big difference between online chat and meeting somebody face to face. Perhaps he thinks that things are getting too serious too quickly, a British Gentleman values his space and freedom. And as you say, he has work commitments in Hong Kong. Best of luck to you.
Doesn't sound too good, being busy with work is an excuse often used and is often not the truth. Be frank with him, come out and ask him if he's interested in you, if he's not then move on. Plenty more Englishmen in the sea
All I can say, don't push or demand and expect anything to avoid future heartaches. If he's into you he will find a way to contact you. For now if he says he's busy then let it be. Don't think too much, just relax. If you want to keep in touch with him then just do it, but don't demand for reply. Just show to him. that you're interested and sincere of your intention. Anyway how long have you been chatted online?
Hi, If he was very interested in you, he would make contact you a lot. He could be busy but it would be best for you to keep your options open as it stands.
