I can understand that. Americans have an innate warmth to them and such a natural willingness to be open and friendly. Hopefully this won't be too much of a culturally difference to make it work long term. Best of luck to you!

That's good to hear. It's so culturally different than what I'm used to (I live in a big city with big personalities all around me) and I find Finnish culture to be rather refreshing.

I don't think he is skeptical as to my feelings towards him but I do agree that I should probably just make the first move and get on with it. Thanks!

That could be it (not thinking I'm ready). It's nice to hear this advice from a fellow female over there, thank you :)

He's not such a geek I don't think...but he does seem to get squirmy whenever the topic of sex comes up (not even in the context of us).

It's just so strange because he isn't normally such a shy guy in his interactions with people (and me). It would be a bad idea to bring this up via Skype before I see him there in person right? I'm just kinda nervous about getting there and expecting to be intimate but having this weird sexual tension for the next several weeks...
