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!

It doesn't bother me particularly, he isn't as sleazy as he sounds! I know plenty of men who sleep around in the UK who aren't half as nice!

We spent 6 hours together in the room, laughing our heads off, teaching each other different words and sayings in our language, talking about serious things, family and he was actually very lovely.
He was more concerned about me enjoying it than himself in fact! Always checking I was ok and asking what I'd like him to do which I can't say I'm used to

Enjoy it and have fun......who knows what will happen I know a couple of young people who have met nice Greek guys and are both married to them living in Greece with family's x

@user1497997754 that would be lovely but I can't see it happening!
It makes me sad how good our evening together was because it's made me realise how much I miss having someone to spend time with like that

Sounds fun to me... I've never had a holiday romance! Off to Lanzarote soon but with my younger sister who's a bit overprotective as I keep dating wrong uns.

@tierraJ it definitely is fun I'm waiting to go out with him now, he's due to finish his shift!
My friend is terrible for dating wrong uns so I can understand your sister worrying a little. Luckily I just go for lovely men who don't want anything serious that's my speciality

I had a lovely summer romance, whilst working a summer abroad, with an American man. We spent 3 months getting drunk, having amazing sex and breaking into swimming pools to go skinny dipping. It was sad to say goodbye to him but we both knew it wasn't forever. Always makes me smile thinking about it now I'm a (very happily married!!!!) stay at home mum.
Enjoy it!

I echo PPs. As long as you're keeping yourself safe and don't fall into the trap of thinking it'll be more than a holiday fling just enjoy it!!!

Ooh I had a delicious holiday romance on a tiny Greek island! Its great isn’t it? Still smile when I think about it 20 years later.
Life is made for these delicious moments op, store them up to enjoy on the cold winter nights.

Well, I feel terrible this morning! We went out as it was my last night, we drank and talked about all sorts all night.

Had a few tears whilst packing my case, not because I actually wanted anything serious with him but just because I've enjoyed his company and I'm really quite lonely back home! I've loved having some attention from a man and someone to laugh with!

Got the afternoon round the pool then it'll be back to reality

Nothing wrong with a little holiday romance and you know that's all it's going to be.

The fact it's made you reflect on how you feel at home is a good thing too. Try and make time to meet people and have a good time, you shouldn't be feeling lonely.

Sorry to hear you feel bad but you've had a nice holiday & a good experience with this man, maybe try to think of ways you can meet a decent man when you get home.
Easier said than done I know!

Sorry to hear you’re feeling bad but please, please, PLEASE don’t fall into the trap of keeping in touch or listen to anything about you staying/him visiting blah blah blah.

Enjoy the memory of it and when you get home, concentrate on getting yourself out there!

What goes up must come down - in every sense!
Let the tears, sadness come, once they’ve passed you’ll have all the wonderful memories of this holiday romance to keep you occupied back home - hopefully with some new found confidence

Thank you for your kind messages! I arrived home at 1am this morning, literally as we were leaving the hotel he walked through the gate. I was hoping I wouldn't see him! He walked with us and took my suitcase up to the main road to wait for the coach.

He gave me a hug and said he hopes I have a good journey and a great life. I can't stand goodbyes! Especially goodbye forevers so that really got to me.

I never expected to get on so well with him, even he said "we are from two different worlds but very similar people". And I think this is where the upset is coming from, because I know even if he wanted a serious relationship with me that I know he really isn't right for me. But in terms of friendship we are a really great match which is something I don't come across too often!
I think the short of it is we are both weird

I've been very up and down today, one minute feeling miserable and the next really pleased with what happened and feeling more confident.
There's a guy I've liked for a while now and I think I'm going to ask him to go for a drink! So if nothing else, it's given me a little bit of a boost in confidence especially as he was very complimentary in the bedroom not-so-stealthy stealth boast

That’s great!

Ask him out and tell us what he says!

Yes, ask him out and keep us updated!! We are rooting for you.

The holiday romance has been perfect for you confidence wise. No regrets!

Love the idea of date with new man whilst you’re looking great and tanned!

@LuluBellaBlue not much of a tan unfortunately, I tried my best but I'm definitely an English rose but I did manage to lose 3lbs while I was away which is a miracle in itself!

I messaged a mutual friend just to get his opinion before I asked the guy but he isn't replying so I don't know whether to just go for it. Worst he can say is no thank you!

Oh go for it!

Life is short. If he says no, then on to the next!

He's a lovely person too so at least I know he'll be nice even if he isn't interested here goes, wish me luck!

Eeeeeek! Good luck!!!

Ok my confidence quickly declined! I can't decide whether to just go for the kill or start a conversation first haha. What do you think?!

@SausageSimon
Just joined this thread. Hope you'd a lovely holiday.
Maybe drop him a text 'hey how are you keeping? Are you around for a drink and a catch up this week?' Bite the bullet now girl while you're feeling fierce confident, the worst he can say is no😉 good luck ❤️

Straight in.
