writes:Ok well i'll start from the beginning, I've just been in Greece for 2 weeks, went with a male friend who used to be my boyfriend. I went with him because we get on well and wanted to see if we could get back together. Over the course of the holiday he probably held my hand/put his arm around me a few times so the man I now like has got the impression we are together.We went to this small resort, ended up going to the same restaurant 10 times, there for about 2 hours a night. The guy in question is Greek and is the son of the owner of the restaurant. I got to know him quite well just chatting and in a few days I'd completely fell for him. I knew within like an hour of meeting him I wouldnt wanna leave and everyday I felt so happy when I was around him and if he smiled at me etc. He was really lovely with me, absolutely gorgeous as well and no sign or mention of a wife or a girlfriend.I bought him this silver bracelet to give to him so anyway on the last night we said bye and stuff, but i couldnt give it to him with the other guy there. So i went back to the restaurant and waited until the customers had left, i'd just had a big argument with the english guy (he wanted to get back with me but i told him its not right for me) and i was so nervous thinking i dont dare do this. The rest of the staff were in there and they would have thought it was a bit weird - as to the outside world we obviously looked like a couple. So im waiting outside and one of the men from the kitchen comes out and tries to chat me up, i said to him can he get "the greek guy" for me so he goes and brings him outside. Then hes standing right in front of me and it was pretty awkward, i was so nervous, and shaking and i give him the bracelet and it was in this box and i put my number inside and he was really sweet but a bit confused i think and he kept asking about the other guy (friend) but he didnt understand and thinks hes my boyfriend. He kissed me just on the cheeks and I messed it up, i was shaking and could hardly speak and for some reason I said i should go (as the bus was picking us up to go to the airport in an hour), he said maybe he'll see me again i said maybe and I left.My problem is that I havent heard anything from him, im trying to be patient but im going crazy and i dont know what to do. I know hes really busy working 16+ hour days and so maybe i should wait a bit longer. But my question is this: should I email the restaurant and ask to speak to him? I dont wanna push it but i think he thinks ive got a boyfriend, or maybe he just doesnt like me. If i wrote to him I could explain the situation more, and apologise for being awkward - im not usually like that. This was Friday night and I know its soon after but I want to know for definite one way or the other rather than wondering. I know its long distance but he comes over to England in the winter as there as no jobs where he lives and so there's a possibility we could have a drink and get to know each other better.

 You had already booked the holiday, and otherwise would have lost the money .. Then simplified, you can tell your Greek man that you and your travel companion were just friends .. Then if he asks further, you can tell him about the trip being booked in advance of your change in feelings..

So i'm not really too bothered about that, he is to blame in my eyes!

Anonymous;
I hope you are sure the the Greek man is "the one" - because otherwise, you have made a mistake - Or maybe it has shown you that you weren't in love with your exboyfriend after all?
At any rate, you will have to telephone the Greek man and talk to him and explain things more. When you call the restaurant, it probably wouldn't hurt to ask someone - if he is married or attached..

 Hello. :o) I personally think you should let the greek guy know of your situation. tell him that it was not your boyfrined, and that he was just a freind, and that you would LOVE to get to know him, and to give you call ( give him yur email address too), then leave it up to him and see what he does. Nothing ventured - nothing gained.!! Let me know how you get on. :o)
PS; Do you know his name? just call the restaurant - and ask for him, you have nothing to lose!!! or look it up online and email them along with your photo to pass on to him. All the very best of luck!!
