Ok, this may sound paranoid of me, but i think that a korean dude i do a language exchange is developing an unhealthy interest in me.
I realise how egotistical this may sound, so i relay the facts to you, and i really, Really would appreciate some feedback:

He calls at my house at least 2 days a week
(excluding the weekends, when we meet for language exchange) just to see if im in and want to watch tv

He invites himself everywhere and anywhere he can when i mention things inadvertently to him during our talking

He insists on paying for everything, and has bought me a couple of small souvenirs

He and his friend that we sometimes see calls me handsome a little too often

When i make an excuse to do a runner, he pulls apart my story like a cheap sweater, asking questions one after another about why i have to go, who im meeting, when and why, etc.

Now dont get me wrong, it could be, and probably is all above board (?). But there is still that little voice in my head telling me otherwise...

I can see how you have arrived at that conclusion. I came to a similar conclusion that a Korean female I taught had a bit of a lesbian crush on me, to this day I don't know if I was right.

However, there are some cultural differences in the way people interact, Korean men are more likely to compliment other males. As for asking persistent questions I get that from the ajumma at my local store, I can't pass the door without her asking where I've been/am going, why I eat this that and the other but I think it is their way of being friendly.

A Korean guy rented a room from me at home and rarely exchanged a word with me but when I went out he always wanted to know where I was going, who with etc etc.

You could well be right, but best not to jump to conclusions just yet. Why don't you instigate a discussion about girls, you know while you are watching TV or something say 'she's fit isn't she?' and see if they join in.

I don't think he's gay for you. He's just...korean for you. Korean dudes are just weird like that sometimes.

IMHO

he is just showing you that he thinks you are a good guy, and he considers you to be his friend. Koreans tend to constantly bud into your private life when they consider you their friend. Because they are genuinly concerned about your safety and well being, and this is how they show it.

It happens to me too. Do not forget that males, especially friends, are much closer physical/mental then generaly in the Western societies.

Oh well.. This reminds me of a painful memory he he. When I was living in a school residence, my Korean guy friends often came to my res and we slept together on a small bed, talking and watching downloaded stuff before falling asleep. After I left there, I was told I was thought to be gay by some people ha ha.. They always saw us being together after all. We had lots of fun there anyway.

Haha.. I got a good one.

I met this nice looking ajuma in the gym a couple years back. At first i wasnt interersted in talking to her. She'd alway approach me when i finished my workout.. i was tired and really didnt feel like chatting.

So, one day after my usual workout i decided to have a chat with her and get it out of the way. We start the usual first time meeting converstation chat. where do u work, live, how long u stay in korea.. ect..

Ends up she wants me to teach her son english as he's planning to attend a western university the following year.. I accept the offer and we make plans to meet for dinner.. So the following week we meet up for dinner and she introduces her son. Nice guy, english is really good and he's well mannered. Its only a few months until year end and her son will be off to uni. So i wonder why bother getting him started if only for a few months.

Following week she calls me and wants to set up the "private". She suggest where we should have the private and out of convienence i decide my place is best, time , day..ect..

The day comes where i gotta teach her son.. so i thought. She knocks on my door and i answer, only to find her son is not there. She tells me he is busy today and in consideration she asks if i can teach her... I accept as shes already here and i've got nowhere to be.

About 20 minutes into our conversation she starts talking about relationships, dating, sex.. ect.. She going on about the size of her ex-boyfriends .. well u know.. I am trying to change the converstation but shes moving closer to me and become a lot more friendlier..

At which point i gave in, and well one thing led to another and so on..

In the end she paid me for the 2 hour private and that continued for about 4 months until i put an end to it.. i guess i was a gigalow.. lol

CraZY STORY!!
