Hello all, this is the first time that I have posted something like this anywhere seeking advice, because it is also the first time that I find myself in love. To begin I will explain the background. I am working currently in the arts in a foreign country and have fallen love with someone that is also in my line of work. Everyone in the circle that I'm working in believes that I am committed to someone, but that is a lie I fabricated to keep unwanted male attention away from me. If you must wonder why it is a male dominated business and I'm very attractive, so the lie gave me the ability to finish my work without any disturbance. That was fabulous until I met this guy that made me just fall in love from the first sight. He is not that attractive, but to me that doesn't matter because I feel something inside of him pulling me. Anyway I felt that maybe he had some attraction to me as well so I sent him a message on chat one day. He replied by complimenting me and telling me he thought I was beautiful and was really impressed with my cababilities, etc. From the sound of it, he was interested. However I felt odd that he believed that I was attached and said these things. My conclusion was that it has to be one of two things. 1. He feels the same way about me as I do about him and cannot contain it anymore. 2. He is a total player and waste of time, space, etc. So I decided to give him a test and talk to him on the phone. He doesn't speak my language but I speak his, so we communicated that way. I asked him to swear that he would not tell anyone at work if I revealed something to him. He agreed and then I told him that I am not attached, it was a lie to protect my own interests in a foreign culture, and if I was with someone I never would talk to him. Then I told him that I had been thinking about him for some time and was looking for a love relationship with someone for long term. After that he responded by asking if we could meet and sit down together whenever I am in his office area again or either he may come to my location and we sit and talk, that he wanted to see me face to face. We have never had a live personal conversation. I told him that in April it would be possible to meet because I will be close to his location and am currently working on a project that takes all my time and energy. It has been a day and a half, he has not called or e-mailed. Will he call? When? How do I deal with this?
