spicerp Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 A couple of days ago I chatted to a woman in a cafe and got her phone number, but I am having second thoughts about dating her. In two months time she will go on long-term travels (months at least) to India and other places. I have a week in Switzerland booked in September,so it looks as though there'll be a handful of dates at the most and then it'll finish. Fine as long as we don't get too attached to each other, but otherwise potentially painful. Worth pursuing or not?
thehead Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 That you're already worrying about it indicates you have the potential to get attached even under these circumstances. I would tear up the number and date someone local when you're back from Switzerland.
Chunky Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I agree with thehead. Find someone you can possibly get to have a relationship with.
Author spicerp Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Thanks for your observations, folks. I am tending towards the same view myself.
Leopard Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Mmmm... It goes both ways. You could just have fun and no one gets hurt. But you could develop feelings for her which will make it difficult to separate. On one hand that's good because you won't miss an opportunity to meet a great woman you might have a long term relationship with, but on the downside you will get separated anyways. Personally, I would do it just for the fun. Just don't make any promises you can't keep.
