Despite ReadLine() the program closes

Question

I got a weird problem. I create an object(inside that object i call readline..) then the program quits despite I called ReadLine() at the end.

Why it doesn't stop? How to make it stops?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Funkcjonalnosc {

    class MainClass {
        static void Main(string[] args) {
            new MainMenu();         
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

namespace Funkcjonalnosc {
   public class MainMenu {
        int selection;
        public MainMenu() {
            showMenu();
            selection = getSelection();
            Console.WriteLine("Wybrano "+ selection);
            switch (selection) {
                case 1: break; //strojenie
                case 2: break; //pobieranie stroju
            }
        }
        void showMenu() {
            String menu = "1. Nastrój\n2. Dodaj strój";
            Console.WriteLine(menu);
        }

        int getSelection() {//pobiera wybrana opcje z menu{
            try {
                return Console.Read();
            } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Zly wybor"); getSelection(); }
            return -1;
        }
    }
}

From MSDN on Console.Read:

The Read method blocks its return while you type input characters; it terminates when you press the Enter key

So if I type, say, 1 it doesn't do anything - until I type enter. When I do that, Console.Read returns the 1, but the enter is still buffered. When you use Console.ReadLine, it fetches this buffered enter so exits immediately. You can see this by typing 123enter - the Read fetches the 1 - and the ReadLine fetches the remaining 23.

To avoid this buffering behavior, you might want to try Console.ReadKey instead.
