Greek man likes me, and now I start to like him too

[Hello hello]

This is a pretty long story, but I give it a try.

For many years now I spend my holidays in the same hotel in Greece twice a year, I am now friends with many people who work there. Outside the holidays I have regular contact with some of them, especially through facebook. There also works this man I've known for years, of which I already knew that he likes me, by his behavior towards me, but also because other friends there have told me. I also like him a lot, he is a very sweet, bit shy man, and we certainly have a click, but the problem is he doesn't speak English well and until recently he wasn't on facebook, so contact with him outside the holidays confined to occasional text messages.

 

But since a few months, he is on facebook too, and now we have more frequent contact, in Greek, as I am now learning this language, and his English is not good enough to chat on fb. A few weeks ago I was on holiday somewhere else, and he wrote that he wanted to be with me there. He often calls me sweetie and darling (in Greek).

Few weeks we were chatting on fb, and he said again that he really wanted to be with me. Then he wrote something I didn't quite understand (my Greek is not that good yet), and when I asked him if he meant that he was missing me, he said 'Very much, but don't you know that?'. Next evening we chatted again and I said that I really didn't know that he was missing me so much, and he said again 'Always, don't you know that?'. He also said that he wanted to talk to me when I will be there again in a few months.

 

As I still felt unsure about him being serious, one night I asked him if he was, or that he was just joking. His reaction sounded really hurt, he said he was telling the truth and if I thought he was telling lies. I said I did believe him, and he said again 'No, you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter'. Then I said again that I really believed him and that I like him very much, but that for me it was pretty difficult communicating in Greek and through fb, that I could not understand everything he was writing. Luckily he seemed to believe me then too and the rest of our 'conversation' was good again, so was the next night. But still the distance, the language and the fact that I won't see him until over 3 months, make me insecure and nervous.

 

We talk shortly on fb few times a week, but it is mostly me who starts. I know he is not the guy that takes the initiative, a friend has already told me this as this guy is shy, especially with women. I told him we should get to know each other better, we should spend time together when I am there again, and he said 'Yes, always'. He also mentioned to he could come to see me after the summer season.

 

Since he now told me himself that he misses me and wants to be with me, I can not get him off my mind. I miss him too and I'd also love to see him and see what might be there between us. I am glad that I now know that my friends were right about that he likes me so much. One of them even said that the guy is in love with me for already a few years now and that many people in the hotel know. But I am nervous to see him again in 'real life', now I know all this, and I am unsure if my Greek will be good enough to talk with him about this 'sensitive' topic. I don't have a clue how things will go. But yes, if it is really good between us then we probably don't need many words. I think I just have to 'wait' what will happen when I see him again in 3 months, and not have too high expectations.

Sorry for this long story, but it is a bit complicated for myself too!
