I'm in a strange relationship, can anyone enlighten me?

[LegsLil]

I went to Greece at the beginning of April after a horrible marriage separation. I went away for a week while my ex was moving out.

It was just what I needed: peaceful and nurturing. Two days into the holiday, me and some friends talked to some men at a bar in the very small local town. One of them seemed pretty keen on me, which was a shock after many years in a sexless marriage. We didn't speak the same language, though, so we couldn't really converse. At one point, he followed me to the toilet and asked for my social media account, and as I was a bit drunk and flattered, I gave it to him.

Me and my friends went to dinner at the restaurant next door and after 15 minutes I realised he and his friend were there, and he was staring at me all the time. We didn't speak there and I left. When I got home I had a load of messages from him saying he wanted to meet up. I didn't really fancy him and was amused and flattered, but I wasn't going to.

Then, near the end of the holiday, I thought, why not have an inconsequential one-night stand? So we went on a date, using Google Translate the whole time😂The sex was amazing though, and we had a really nice time. I left the next day and he came to the boat to say goodbye, which was sweet but a bit cringe.

What's completely mad is that he's been texting and calling me every day since. I don't know what's going on. Why am I still in touch with him? Where's it going? What is he getting out of it?

He talks as if we're together and I will be coming back to the island soon, even though I've said I can't. I've never had a holiday fling before so it's all a bit weird. Any thoughts appreciated

😂😂😂i take it you gave never ever met any Greek men before

exactly! at this point I would happily marry someone with an EU passport to get one! sucks having to join the long lines

I wish that those of us who voted remain had the option to keep our EU passports

i’m guessing he’s younger than you and his flat was far from palacial

You sound like a snob. And prejudiced.

A one night stand on holiday can be great. Always have condoms on you.

But leave it at that.

AND! Listen to your intuition!! Safety first! Always have money for a taxi on you.

Do you want to see this man ever again? If yes then continue chatting, if no them send a polite response: “hi dimitri, it was great meeting you and I had a lot of fun, unfortunately I don’t see a future for us but I wish you the best in life”.

Block. Move on.

(poor dimitri, you really broke his heart 😥. I feel for him 😀)

^he gets to come to the uk
and there are a hell of a lot more opportunities in uk than greece^

You are delusional. Still this empire attitude going on.

Greece don't have human excrement in the sea last time I was there. I go every year.

My friend met a man in Greece & now they have a Greek restaurant in my local town & 2 kids!

Although I definitely think this is a holiday romance that should be left as that.

You’re not in a “strange relationship” OP, fact is you’re in no relationship, you just had a one night stand, besides a sweet “wish you well“ you owe him nothing.

poor dimitri, you really broke his heart 😥. I feel for him

Dimitri of course has a girlfriend who is studying Marine Biology in Athens as he does some similar study and his family own a restaurant, hotel and bar, hers too.

I've met them all, great people!

Some weird attitudes on here. English snobbery at its finest.

The fact dimitri (very possibly) has a gf in Athens and his parents own a restaurant doesn’t stop him from getting his heart broken 💔 after all he’s human right? That was my point.

Ahahaha - I thought the same @therealcookiemonster . Honestly ladies and gentlemen the Greeks have a very high libido (DNA i guess) and one night stands, not to mention mich more, are very common If not the norm.

We Europeans all wish the UK remained in the EU believe me. Hope one day you come back. And not for the money. Because you are a balancing power between France and Germany and the rest of us need you.
Everyone wants you (France will probably play it hard but who cares).

@Rania78 - that is very kind of you. For many of us Remainers it was heartbreaking leaving the EU. Sadly, I don’t think there’s much chance of getting back in any time soon.

You wanted a one night stand. You got one. The end.

Regardless of what he might want, you owe him nothing and his behaviour is making you uncomfortable, so cut him off and move on. He'll cope. It's a handy distraction not a relationship.

They will say anything and sleep with anyone from the U.K. as you are the golden ticket to access them coming to the U.K.

He will flatter you and give you a load of old fake compliments to turn your head.

😂😂😂 He doesn’t speak English. He needs a visa to work here. If he wanted to go to another country for work he’d be better off going to Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, etc.

I'm hysterical at the idea that the guy wants a British passport. Do people not read the news?

Who are "They"? Is it just Greeks, or do you mean anyone who isn't British?

Do you hear yourself? 🤷

🙏 hope too. But very much doubt it'll happen sadly.

Politics and visas? How about focussing on the danger of doing something like that? Going to a place with a total stranger. OP was lucky to get away from this situation whether he was Greek or British. Madness.

all Dimitri wants is leave his GF, quit his job at his parents hotel in santorini, move to Blackpool and get a minimum wage job at the local weatherspoons (insert sarcastic tone).

(I believe there’s more British people wanting to move to Greece than the contrary)

You’ve seen too many crime documentaries.

One of my last boyfriends was Cypriot (born here, his DP’s moved here when they were married).

Great guy, not for me but certainly had money, liked to treat a woman well, passionate and hard working. Could give some British men some tips!
