Here is my story. I met this French guy in the summer in a resort club in a different country and we had a great time together, I really liked him ….a lot – we spent the whole night together, talking, dancing, and kissing - of course he was interested in sex, but we did not get down to actually doing anything. He was a real gentleman, very romantic (more than many girls I know myself included), and seemed very honest and open about his life. He is 35 (I'm 26) and was implying that he is at that stage in his life where he is looking for a serious relationship (he also said that he broke up with his girlfriend 3 months ago, and she broke his heart).
I had a really amazing time with him - we just seem to click – we talked a lot, and he seemed so enamored with me….he couldn't stop kissing my hands, lips, etc. and was constantly asking me to go to his hometown to take a course in the university there or something of that sort so that we can be together (I live in canada) (language was a bit of problem too since my French and his English are not the best, and when we saw each other on the beach the next day we exchanged emails. He promised to email me and he did actually – a few days after he returned home. In his email he was telling me how much he enjoyed our time together and was offering to become my French teacher…I replied two days later saying that I loved the idea, but was hoping he would be patient enough. I also said I loved our time together, missed him in the club the next time I went there (and was annoyed by an awful guy who was pestering him as well while there), and that I thought he was a very sexy man. The thing is, I said all that in French and I probably made mistakes and sounded stupid more often than not….Also, I sent him a photo of myself, because he had asked me before. Now two weeks later, he still hasn't replied. It is true that in his email he said something like "give me a sign that you think of me from time to time", but still - should I have waited for weeks before replying???
I would really like to hear from you guys – did I come on too strong complimenting him so much, or gave myself away too easily "fulfilling his every wish" (sending a photo right away), or telling him that I went to the club after he left (perhaps he thought that I kept "looking around" even after he left) ....or simply made a fool of myself in his native language….? I don't know if I scared him somehow, because his letter definitely sounded as a request for something more long term to come (I mean: "becoming my teacher!") and now I feel like I did/said something that changed his mind.
Also, is there any hope and anything in your opinion that a girl in this situation can do to rekindle his interest and not completely lose her dignity (I also have his phone #)?
Thanks a lot for all your input in advance! I can really benefit from your opinions!
