I am not from an English speaking background and I like this guy who is white English. Once I asked him whether he loves his job (which is driving the bus). He thought a while and turned his eyes towards me and said that it is an awfully busy life etc and he'd rather like to sleep around" and he repeated that he would like to sleep around. I did not understand what he meant and went on speaking on other issues. later when I read the dictionary I was stunned at what he meant. Should I pursue to have a relationship with him? or should I avoid him.

he might have meant he would like to "sleep around the clock" meaning he would like a day in bed - i know bus drivers often work very long hours and are exhausted. he could also have meant he would like to "sleep a round" - meaning to trade one shift behind the bus wheel for a few hours of sleep. although i would tend to think he was making a pass and a little leary of "come ons", i would give him the benefit of the doubt here. just go and ask him straight out what he means, if you like the guy, then decide. why be embarrassed?

hey.. OK SO i think you should avoid him, but it could also be difficult if you do like the guy then you should ask him directly what he meant, but if its a guy you would like to get to know. don't go any further with it, because it seems like he just like to go around and sex with every girls. and you don't know if he likes you for you, or just t o sleep with you then leave you, so you should avoid him.

I have never heard anyone say that particular thing about himself. People who lead that sort of life usually like to express it more romantically, especially as it is calculated to put girls off. Are you sure he didn't say that he would "like to sleep around the clock", meaning that he would like to sleep for 24 hours to get rid of his exhaustion?

English is a difficult language to learn; it's full of slang terms a non-native English speaker would not understand.
I suggest that you ask him directly, and exactly, what did he mean?

It depends on whether he was telling you he wanted to have sex, or whether he was saying that he would like to just be able to sleep more often.

I think having sex outside of marriage is inappropriate. So I don't think you should pursue a sexual relationship with him.

Avoid him. "Sleep around" means that he wants to have meaningless sex with many partners. You don't want anything to do with that.

He meant he wanted to have sex with you casually.
