Okay, so here's the thing; I know this African exchange student, and (as far as I'm concerned) we're sort of friends (as in "kaveri", not as in "ystävä"; there's a semantic difference). But now as I'm in the university's IT class with him, he did something I don't quite understand. He has hugged me before (on Monday, if I recall correctly) and he has taken up the habit to touch my shoulders or back if he goes by... okay, irrelevant. The point is that he just went outside the room for a while and as he came back he came to hug me from behind; he put his arms around me and kissed my neck through my hair. What exactly am I to understand by this?
I mean, I don't usually care what other people think but I'm not comfortable with the idea of him thinking I'm so egoistic I instantly think that his behaviour is because he's madly in love with me (which he has actually said twice already) instead of that it's not due to our cultural differences (and therefore perfectly innocent action) but for some deeper meaning... Why cannot women be this friendly with me?
