Young German trying to understand/help young Taiwanese (face, "strange" behaviour)

What I wonder about is: It seems that he LOVES to cuddle with me, he likes nothing more than cuddling with me, the entire night and in the day if we are not in the company too. I dont know how old he was at the timepoint his parents started treating him like a stranger, but it seems it has hurted him very deeply.

I am by myself a little bit (more) gay so I understand his problems somewhere, I had not that problem with my parents, but I think every gay person has fear to come out and fears to get rejected then.

I will see how I can help him, I have asked him sometime what his biggest fear is, and he said that he fears to loose me, I dont know if he was serious, but it made me think.

Well then it seems obvious. He’s become attached to you! Tread carefully! Don’t break his heart.

:rofl:

This is sounding more and more like a poorly-written erotica. You just need to fill in the graphic sex scenes.

Gain, I know that sounds funny (You should see my colleagues, some of them laugh themselves to dead about me) but for me and especially for him its not funny, and I really think he has serious problems, otherwise he didnt show the behavior he shows. I really dont know what to do now, and I have really fear that it makes him only more psychical trouble to get seperated from me when he goes back to Taiwan.

So uh… you two cuddle throughout the night…and he wakes up next to you in the morning…Do you spoon? And if so…isn’t the morning wood kind of awkward? :eggplant:

:thinking:

Yes, we do spoon, this morning wood thing is no problem becasue we both are grown men (Even if hes more like a child…) and know about such things, so everything fine. He sleeps sometimes in the spoon position in front of me, but there were nights too, he slept on top of me. How I said, he loves to cuddle, and I really think already he loves nothing more in his life than cuddle.

But I think he loves cuddling only so much because he lacked it in his childhood, and if I am right, he has some (psychical) problems in his life. I know that such a behavior is absolutely not common.

If its really like jmee said, that he is attached to me, then we have another problem too, because I think the company in Taiwan wants to have their worker back someday.

Reminder: I need to come back here to add something of value to this thread. Just not now, too lazy and uninspired.

Please do.

PS: I vouch for that the OP is not trolling. Amusing as his story might seem to sound. “Life writes the strangest stories”… As we say in Germany. And nope, OP is not my sock puppet either.

PPS: Changed thread title and sub-forum, I hope it’s more fitting than before

Well this has been a weirdly interesting thread to skim through.

Okay, so, @ME2000 ; keep in mind that many of the people in this forum are old enough to have been born before plastic was invented. When they were your age, the Soviet Union was still in its heyday and people rode dinosaurs to school. So, take their advice with a grain of salt.

What you described sounds to me like a pretty common occurrence (maybe not so much when dinosaurs still roamed the earth).

Here’s what I think. You’re 20; he’s 20; you’re both still young and naturally you’ll find many things in life confusing. Maybe he likes you; you certainly sound like you like him. Maybe just roll with it. You don’t always have to know the answer. Sometimes the thing to do is to do nothing. That is, just be there for him (as long as you want to, and you sound like you do). Don’t worry too much about the long term - or about finding a ‘solution’. Maybe just enjoy his weird-as idiosyncrasies. God knows we’re all a little weird sometimes.

Hope it works out.

Nah. Never. Our dinosaurs just weren’t trainable.

My experience is germany looks pleasing to the eyes but their technology is like the stone age, seriously.

Wifi in germany is ripoff, you’re better off getting a prepaid E plus card and use your 3 or 4 g internet. Not unlimited but better than paying 20 euros for 1 day of wifi.

And computers or other tech items cost like 2x as much as taiwan.

I bought a 3g wifi thingie from Mediamarkt once in 2011 and that was the best investment I ever made. Even that cost 100 euros. It was made by huawei.

Anyone going to Germany from taiwan, make sure you buy all your tech stuff in taiwan. Don’t count on good wifi. Some airports or train station have wifi but you pay through the nose for it. Get a local sim card as soon as possible as they will have 30 day 5 gig internet for as low as 25 euros.

Yes, most developed country, including the US don’t offer unlimited mobile internet. Taiwan is the only country I know of that does.

Not always the case, sometimes electronics can be cheaper in Germany including the made in TW ones.

3G has already been phased out many places. If only you invested that money in crypto currency.

US have different unlimited data options. One of the most interesting ones is Google Fi, I don’t have any experience with them, but hope they will launch something similar in Europe.
Even Germany has unlimited mobile data options. Unbegrenztes Datenvolumen: GĂźnstige o2 Mobile Unlimited-Tarife

I know Taiwan has cheaper and faster options. But most countries worth staying longer than a few weeks can offer something.
