OMG.. did he leave this at your home? Or give it to you in person? How freaky.
he left it at my place of work. Whenever I did the banking I would always get him as my teller… …seriously f-r-e-a-k-y.
i’ve read this a couple of times henry, when you posted it on facebook a while ago and each time it makes me very sad, i don’t really think it is creepy, he seems so sincere. out of all the people in the world that are bad and rude and do terrible things i think baj is one to be admired and not discouraged. he is obviously brave for giving it to you and trying to make friends is not a crime! he is only 25 and in a country that he would still not be fully familiar with all the social customs, but obviously knows enough to figure that writing a nice letter to a person is a good way of getting across what you want to say! and even putting a little poem in there! you should be flattered hen! he obviously is insightful enough to see something good in you, so should be valued, not humilated! you could have had a nice indian friend, you could have taken him out! i hope baj finds a good friend to hang out with.
I do understand what you are saying izz, and before he wrote me this letter I actually said YES one time and that we should go and have a drink sometime at The Oaks… He told me that he doesn’t drink but that he could watch me drink… I think I laughed… But I don’t think he just wanted to be friends. The next few times he suggested we hang out I told him I was busy because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. However, the way he stroked me on my shoulder in my shop a few days beforehand, under the guis of buying a present for his nephew saying “You look really nice today!” can’t be mistaken for what it was, he was making a move and it made me feel uncomfortable.
I suppose I may of misconstrued his meaning and that he may not understand the social etiquette - but that is how he made me feel, I felt uncomfortable and like a boundary had been crossed. He’s been in Australia for 7 years.. Isn’t that long enough to grasp our social customs?
yourbodyglove asked: who are you ? where are you from ? I am hoping these answers are far from ordinary ;)
I’m the person that everyone says “i’ve heard so much about you” when they meet me…. I’m the guy that decided to travel to the other side of the country to get out of my “comfort zone” which pretty much means I wasn’t living up to my potential and had become complacent… I suppose i’m pretty ordinary?
