Hi everyone, not sure where to post this as I'm new here (from France but living in London, So please excuse if my English is bad).

 

So, my story..

 

I was solo travelling in Barcelona, Spai for 5 days, and by the second day, I had already made a friend from my hostel room, but then a new girl arrived, she's from New Zealand (we are both in our mid 20's). That evening the three of us go to the hostel dinner, then us two (me and the NZ girl) leave and go back to our room as we both planned to do something early the next day. Rather than sleeping we end up talking loads about her career and other stuff, up till 1am then sleep. The next morning we both head out early as planned, going to a local town. We end up renting a buggy and drive around, get changed into revealing swimwear and hop into the ocean. That evening we go have dinner in a nice restaurant together and then go to a bar. By the time we head back to our room we had spent 18 hours together without being apart. Throughout that time we reveal personal stories about each other we wouldn't tell people normally, have laughs, learn about each other and each other's cultures, but she felt the need a few times to say "I really do love my bf", yes, she has a bf. But the only time she spoke about him in length was about their past and their hmproblems (they split for a while before getting back together, as well as other stuff), I never heard anything positive fr9m her about their relationship. Later on at the bar, slightly drunk, the conversation about what people see each from knowing them for a short period came up, and she asked me "what do you see me as?"

I don't know what happened but for some reason we both became distracted by something and I never answered my question and that conversation topic didn't continue.

 

The next day she leaves, to continue her European travels.

Now, I've had quite a few partners so I'm not new to how love works, but she felt unique, unlike others before.

 

We swapped contact details and been chatting* each day.

It's been 4 days since I saw her in Spain, and* I sent her a message letting her know that I saw her as special and felt a deep meaningful connection with her, and that I really appreciated the time we spent together. I also mentioned that I understood she lives the other side of the world with her own home, job and boyfriend but also mentioned that she deserved to know how happy she made me feel.

 

She replied saying that she was flattered and really impressed with what I said to her. She did mention that I should keep looking for more people that make me feel happy like she does to me, and that she still wants to stay in contact.

 

Back in Spain she said she's heading to the UK in November before flying back to New Zealand and she wanted a few ideas where to go for a day trip, I offered for her and her friend (female friend from her village in NZ) to stay at mine so not to pay for accommodation, she said she'd think about it.

 

Now I'm not sure if the texting conversation will change the way she feels about seeing me in the UK.

 

I'm just intrigued with what people think of this all? What steps should I take? I don't want to disrupt her life in a country other side of the world, but yet I honestly feel such a deep connection with her (NOT from desperation) that maybe she wants something to change in her life, involving me one way or another.

 

How should I play this? (I hate the word play with these types of topics - makes it seem all like a game) but I expect you know what I mean.
