And I know they say ‘people come along when you least expect it’ but I never ever thought this would happen to me.
im 29, British, recently I came out of a long term relationship and I am currently on holiday with my family.
I’ve met a lovely Turkish man whilst here. Completely unexpectedly, he was working on one of the tours we went on 4 days ago.
I know it sounds silly and cliche, but as soon as I saw him it’s like I just knew I needed to get to know him. We didn’t speak much on the trip itself since he was obviously busy working - but after when he was showing us the photos he’d taken, we swapped numbers and have been chatting ever since.
He has asked to take me for dinner tomorrow evening (locally in the resort town we are staying in) my mum is saying go for it, but my dad seems to have reservations and is telling me not to be so stupid and naive..
This man hasn’t shown me any red flags or given me reason to distrust him.
Im kind of in the mindset that I’m here on holiday, it’s probably not going to progress.. so let’s see what happens?
has anybody else ever been in this situation, meeting a guy abroad / getting to know somebody from a different country?
I know there are huge complex loopholes and issues IF we did get to know each other more and develop a relationship - due to distance etc.
would love to know thoughts please, as I’m really in two minds.
Thank you ☺️
