I think it's impossible to assume anything at all. With cultural, age and gender differences, it's difficult to figure out what the intentions of another person are, unless they state them clearly. Neither you or he did that.

As a guy, I can assure you that guys do not understand subtle hints or can even logically deduce where this casual acquaintance is going from what you have already described.

You'll need to be very clear. Maybe then he will also tell or show you his own intentions more clearly.

But first you need to know yourself what you actually want to hang out with this guy for and if it's worthwhile maintaining the friendship for whatever reason. It makes sense if you have mutual interests or benefits from keeping in touch. However, my best guess based on your description of him offering a back massage is that he might have more romantic intentions than you. In that case it's best for both of you to be brutally clear and end his hopes instead of "friend-zoning" him. It might feel unpleasant, but it's crucial to be clear. If he reacts negatively, well, there's your answer.

Yes, it was covered by health care. It's not common that early in life, but I think it makes sense to get it sorted out as soon as possible before it makes the issue worse. I have never thought much about it, but in hindsight I think it must have been hell for her to go through.

You can't really tell from looks alone. I went to school with a girl who got a breast reduction at age 16 due to back problems. It didn't look crazy or anything or maybe she hid it well, but it was just some issue she had that no one knew about or would have guessed.

Yes, I do it when I change strings, or whenever it gets too "dry". Just a few drops and then a wipe it with a cloth rag. I think it feels better than a clean dry fretboard.

I use a regular fine sewing machine oil. Haven't tried any of the brands specifically for guitars.

No, they don't.

It's either a weird coincidence or in perhaps that the fitness chains areusing the same plumber and that guy is doing a shit job.

They have plenty of character.

Friend 1 is a banjo player. You can tell by the large porch facing the entrance of the cul de sac from where he watches everyone who comes and goes.

Friend 2 owns a large pick up truck. This is because his house has the best view of the agricultural fields to the left, so he identifies as a farmer, even if he works in a call center.

Friend 3 doesn't have a driveway. He actually thought that he would be able to ride with his friends every day.

Friend 4 lives closest to the forrest so he wears outdoor clothing all the time and pretends to be the alpha male.

Friend 5 is the beta cuck who actually fell for Friends 4's self proclaimed alpha status.

Friend 6 doesn't exist. Nobody wants to buy that house. The parked car belongs to the real estate agent who pays regular visits to the house with potential buyers.

Friend 7 is a conspiracy theorist who keeps mostly to himself and sometimes disappear for days. The upper floor is larger than the ground floor and is filled with horded things that he calls his prepping storage. There might even be other people up there.

It bothers me that the sunglasses are in front of the diagonal. That diagonal is also the wrong way.

Crayons? Not my cup of tea.

I'll choose riding the horse/unicycle then.

The Japanese Elvis culture springs to mind.

Also, there are "cowboys" everywhere in the world.

You mentioned lederhosen and of course those types exist outside of Germany too.

I wonder if they even bothered attempting the test it in the first place.
