Answer 1

Your friend was being a jerk. It's hard enough to do a foreign exchange, even harder to deal with a foreign language, so you don't need some moron trying to make things uncomfortable for you.



I've met plenty of French people, and I am European myself. While French people may often do a sort of fake cheek kiss sometimes, they don't necessarily go around hugging strangers, and they certainly don't need some idiot creating an uncomfortable situation. The guy is French, not an alien from another planet. He understands the concept of uncomfortable situations and people trying to force you and him to do things they don't want to do.



Bob should apologize to both of you for being an idiot.

Answer 2

This foreign student must realize that he is not in France right now.... If he needs a hug so bad, let Bob hug him

Answer 3

This doesn't make much sense but if bob was forcing you to hug or touch people then that's wrong

Answer 4

You should never be forced to hug anyone that you don't want to hug.....so it's Bob's fault.....



My grandmother always made me hug everyone in the family and this one uncle he so grossed me out and I never wanted to hug him but she made me anyways.......don't stand your ground.

Answer 5

considering the fact which you have given no description of what exceeded off to make you sense uncomfortable or lead them to act the way they have acted, that's totally complicated to respond to your question. I have not have been given any theory if something serious went on or in case you have merely "made a mountain out of a molehill". in my view, considering the fact that we've many church homes in my city that are of my Catholic faith (I actual have much greater selection considering the fact that i'm bilingual and we've a stable French inhabitants top to French Catholic church homes additionally), i might merely bypass to a distinctive Catholic Church. If I have been you, i might additionally evaluate the actuality that that final digital mail you get carry of might certainly have not been deliberately sent out----because of fact it is not between the common messages they deliver you, it could have rather been sent out even nonetheless they might have taken you off their record.
