I hate to ask this, but...you didn't have sex with him. Right?
Can I also ask how old you are?
I would personally just chalk it up to "one of those things". Being on vacation/on holiday is a romantic thing in and of itself. I mean as far as it being an adventure. Everything looks more beautiful. Everything seems more awesome. People do "hook up" one way or another while on vacation, and then in a day or two realize, "What the heck? What's ever going to come of this with the person a bazillion miles away?" or suddenly it just doesn't seem romantic any more.
I'm sorry, but it definitely happens.
Don't worry too much about it, and concentrate on non-travelers from now on.
It really sucks when you have to READ between the lines. Oooh oooh traveler automatically means guy who will never commit or follow through with anything.....
I'd rather just somebody spell it out for me. There are non-travelers that are just the same though. Lead you on then dump you like you never existed.

I hate reading between the lines. It is such a drag.
Australia is not a 3rd world country.
Who said it was...? OK, let's make it easier - 2 people from different countries meet in yet another country while traveling? What are your expectations of such an encounter?
fine i get your point. I'm just frustrated with the guy who lives in my city that brushed me off because he is soooo busy with his own schedule.

lol. Freaked him out. I can't believe you people are defending him! Good it should freak him out. He is selfish. He should not have lead her on. She just got out of a divorce. He flat out used her (emotionally). What some men and women don't understand is that people arn't objects to be used and then discarded. Some of you on CD can't understand that either.
Please don't lecture me on human relationships and stop attributing your own thoughts and feelings about something onto me.
I didn't defend him. I am simply telling it to her like it is or as I perceive it to be. She asked what I thought and I told her. He's travelling, he's young, and he's an Aussie bloke, right or wrong most likely he's wanting to get out there in the world and have an adventure or two. There's nothing wrong with that.
She isn't wanting to get into a big thing herself either, I simply pointed out given his demographic that he's probably not reliable and she should cut her loses. She didn't have any problem with what I told her, I'm simply stating things as they are.
Oh and for the record I'm not having a go at you, I understand that these things can be upsetting when you're in them. It's unfortunate that many men, particularly young men have trouble articulating what it is they want and they're not always truthful with girls about what they want. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, it just is. What she needed to know was should she continue making the effort and personally I think not.
(Oh and before any of the fellas come in and have a go about this last passage regarding men I do realize that this also applies to some women. )
