Forget about him. I am telling you - if man wants you he will find a way to text 'good morning' while at the toilet seat. and they say romance is dead Remember that you only have a great relationship with your SO if you poop with the bathroom door open, so this is just more along the same lines.

What are you saying, is that they DO follow him to the bathroom And yes, we keep door open because this way we can watch TV and not to miss a moment.

Ha Ha HAA! you guys are funny! as said of course, a woman will not admit it! would not admit she just craves that bad boy shit. she has all the power to leave such a horrible relationship, not being dependent on him, and chooses to stay! why? it's that question of why does she stay is why I phrase my statement that way.
now I am sure those in heavy disagreement of my thoughts are in relationships that their guy is nothing like the bad guy. but I bet he is taking advantage of you and your kindness, and support.
so sure - how do you know if he is into you just as Laterbloomer and tloonya said he will contact you and keep in contact
however with that said I can understand your concern you just met, so when he returns, that is when he will contact you but since it's not love at first sight, he is occupied with other stuff while he is away.

Typically, the people who say "Women don't want a 'nice' guy, they want a 'bad boy' who treats them poorly" are just trying to justify their own failures with women. The "nice guy" is too much of a to tell a woman how he feels, he just hopes if he stays on the sideline and waits, she'll eventually realize how wonderful he is, and fall in love with him. Meanwhile, she's out dating guys who actually have the balls to ask her out. Imagine that!! Stop being a , stop lying to yourself about how 'nice' you are when you are running down everyone else who has the balls to do what you won't, sack up, and make a move. If you get rejected, fine, at least you know how she feels.
As for the OP, it sounds like he is interested in you, but he hasn't fallen for you yet. If he had fallen for you, he'd be contacting you from Europe come hell or high water. If someone is very interested, they contact you the next day to keep the conversation going. I they're just interested, they can look you up when they get back from out of the country, and see where the relationship goes. It sounds to me like this is the latter.
I would ignore all of tloonya's "advice" in this matter.

I agree, which is just fine with me. I don't need anyone to be head over heels for me right now - I have too much I need to prepare for and I get distracted easily.

Well then I guess he doesn't like me. Or he's busy catching up with family and friends that he hasn't seen in several months. Time will tell. Right now he's probably kissing his second cousin and I'm not sure if is a man or woman that cousin! French= cannot be trusted!!! But then again...who knows? Maybe he really likes you and he's shy! Go get a flower and start picking at the petals: he likes me! he likes me not!.....

I've never understood the women like bad boys theory. I just don't see it much in practice. Like beergut said, women will end up with guys who actually ask them out. I married a nice guy, and my 3 brothers who are all in their 20's and extremely nice guys have had no issues getting girlfriends (and now one is married and one just got engaged). Those girls all chose the nice guy over some guy who treats them like crap. Same with my 4 brothers in law and their wives.

Those girls all chose the nice guy over some guy who treats them like crap. Same with my 4 brothers in law and their wives. I think it is the same group of guys who think lines work. If you lack confidence, which is the real problem for these guys, you like to think that simple tricks like dropping a line will magically work. Being confident in yourself, being yourself, that is too much to ask for these guys. In a way, the 'women always go for the bad guys' theory and 'you gotta have game' are just emotional protection. I'm sure there is a female equivalent, something like "Guys just want girls who are easy" or "Guys don't like smart women, and are intimidated by my intelligence." Well, there may be some guys who don't like smart women or get intimidated by intelligent women, but it is more likely the guys these women are pursuing are not physically attracted to them.

I would ignore all of tloonya's "advice" in this matter. Ive been ignored before! Nothing scary about it or unpleasant so... But I am always right at the end.
And where have you seen me giving her an advise? Mere observation of the situation. Men don't shun women they thinking about. And shy he is not! Shy man wouldn't hug a woman like that. He would shit himself first...

I didn't realize texting someone HNY was such a big deal. I text lots of people HNY. You all are making this way more than what it is.

I guess you failed to read the multiple posts about him being out of the country until after the new year.... ________________________________________________________________
A French man, OMG, they are so effeminate...just kidding, just kidding. Don't play head games, when he gets back text him (no one actually seems to speak on the phone these days ), meet up and see if the connection that you thought was there, is still there. If he is a man and interested in you, he will invite you out...and...

Those dots are called ellipses, and they keep the conversation moving more freely...know what I mean?
If he is a man interested in her, he will invite her out and start that dance that men and women have done since time immemorial. Some guys are more forceful, some guys take a little bit more time.
Now use your imagination.
