Hi, I'm from a conservative Asian country and have made some nice new friends in my new workplace. Many of them are men.
Recently becuz of a little accident I began to exchange emails with one of them on a daily basis. And both of us have been very friendly to each other. By far it's been a healthy friendship.
and I understand in internet world, "x" and "xo" usually mean "kisses" and" kiss you" respectively, don't they? And this colleauge always type a "hugs" or "x" behind his name.
I'm very confused but don't wanna make a fuss about it!! But I have to ask you guys. Does it mean anything special?? Cuz if it does, I gotta let him know I'm only interested in friendship, nothing further. If it doesn't , I don't have to say anything.
I hope it's only a friendly gesture. He's a good colleague: forgiving, caring, helpful....really befriendable and I don't wanna ruin it.
How do I do?? (btw, this guy is 22 yrs older than me!! I heard that Westerners usually would marry woman a lot younger than 'em???? ) I hope he doesn't mean anything in "that" way
I'm single but I dunno if he's married or not!!
Even if he is also single, I wouldn't date him anyway. He's too older than me
And problem is, he's a nice guy and I don't wanna ask abrupt questions to hurt his feelings. Especially if he doesn't mean anything special at all!!
Is it normal among Britishers that people type "hugs" to opposite sex?? I 'v been in crisis lately and many of my colleagues have sent me condolecences. So maybe he doesn't mean anything special.
