Holiday romance!

[SausageSimon]

I'm on holiday at the minute in Greece and I've had my first holiday romance! I thought the man at the hotel bar on an evening was so lovely and I thought to myself "what're you getting your hopes up for this will never happen" especially when I noticed a girl sat with him one night.

One evening as I was leaving the bar he asked if I'd like to stay for one more, yay! The girl turned out to be his sister. He then said we could go for a walk the next evening so I turned up and he said he'd asked his boss if we could have the keys to one of the rooms I was a bit lost for words!

I didn't expect us to get on so well with being from different countries, I expected to have different humour etc. But we had an amazing night in every way I hadn't had sex in 2.5 years before that so it took me a while to get comfortable

It feels so exciting because this sort of thing doesn't happen to me ever! I have 2 more days left and he's taking me to a beach near where he lives tomorrow

Tell me about your holiday romances while I continue to swoon over mine!

Do hope you're using condoms.

@takeanotherchillpill I didn't expect that response, of course they're being used. I never had to ask, he had them

Enjoy it for what it is. Have a fab couple of days and then go home and forget about him. He will have a whole lot of new tourists to chat up next week.

@wendywoopywoo222 he will indeed, it's been a nice part of my holiday though! Before back to boring reality

As long as you are going into it with eyes wide open then enjoy
BUT you know that the girls is very unlikely to be his sister and and he asked you to go for a walk and then expected sex so you need to be aware that this is a short term sex thing rather than “romance”
Be safe as well ( not just referring to condoms), dont take any risks you wouldn’t with a complete stranger if you were at home

I would love to meet someone but I know this is nothing but a week of fun! It's done me good as I'm usually very shy and he has been lovely. I have been terrified of sleeping with anyone again because I feel unattractive but he's made me feel good. He's not pushy what so ever despite making it clear what he wants haha. He's very aware of how I'm feeling which is lovely, much more of a gent than the men back home!

@SausageSimon that's great it's helped your self esteem ...... enjoy it and remember you are totally attractive as you've found out.

Good for you OP, enjoy

Beware of him or his 'sister' suddenly suffering a terrible tragedy and badly needing a loan, op. He'll pull out all the romantic stops and guilt trips to get you to pay up. Sorry but it's something that happens and you should be aware.

Eyes open, OP.

He does this a lot. Don't fall in love, don't give him money (unless you are completely happy to, essentially, pay him for his time and never expect to see either him or the money again) and treat everything he tells you as "charming fiction". Bear in mind that condoms don't protect against all STDs (crabs, genital warts, herpes, etc) so this is still a risk. I'm not saying that it's not a risk worth taking (only you can make that call) but don't fool yourself about what's going on.

I hope you have a fun, sparky holiday romance and look back on it fondly :)

Keep your eyes open (even while keeping other parts open )

Nine times out of ten this turns into a Take A Break story if you’re not smart enough to say your goodbyes and walk away.

Don’t swap numbers or emails. Or social media! Seriously.

I had a friend who did this in Turkey, she brought home a souvenir
He’s 10 now!

Fortunately I have no money for him to take 

@Hoppinggreen oh gosh! thankfully I'm double covered for that occurrence. I don't fancy such a big Greek surprise haha

Well when I was 23 I had a wonderful holiday romance with a 21 year old German lad - tall, blonde, muscley and gorgeous. I met him at the beer festival, he was with a bunch of people - tipsy but not drunk. He lived locally - I met his parents (he took me for a meal with them), although we were both clear it was just a holiday thing. It was a really magical week.

On the last day he confessed he was 15. I laughed at first, because I thought he was joking.

He wasn't.

SOOO glad we'd not gone beyond snogging and groping!

And the real kicker was he wondered if I would meet him in London in December, as he was going there - on a school trip

@ChristmasFluff 15 oh my word! Clearly his parents didn't see an issue, maybe it's different for them there? But what a shock!

I hope that maybe they didn't realise how old I was? Not that I looked 15 I think - but then, he didn't look 15 either. Surely they wouldn't have been ok with it?!!

Ah yes he probably told them you were younger! @ChristmasFluff bloody 15!

Sounds like Matteo from Benidorm!

Is your name Shirley?

It sure is and I'm not coming back!

Enjoy ! Sounds like he has gone your confidence the world of good

There is nothing wrong with holiday sex. Enjoy!

Thanks, I must admit I'll feel sad to never see him again even though in my sensible brain that's all it was ever going to be! I'm a soppy sort though

Even his boss is in on his game.

Next week it'll be someone else. How grim!

Remember that condoms don't protect against everything.
