Romance and relationships

p(standfirst). Travel can include romance, but often it’s “Mr Right Now” who is more important than “Mr Right”.

Likewise, if the guys you meet don’t seem to want to know you after sex, it may be that they are simply being realistic about the difficulties in pursuing a relationship with someone who lives far away. It’s not necessarily personal. And if you meet them at a sex venue or a beat, etc. then it may not be realistic to expect much either. Most guys go to places like that because they want to get off, they are not necessarily there looking for a relationship.

Most of the time that’s all that people want, they don’t want to know about lunch the next day, they don’t want to get to know you.ALESSIO

You try and meet someone meaningful if you can, but otherwise it’s you know, just quick fun.PETER

I had a lot of casual sex. Although I did meet somebody and we did have a great time together and it got too deep, too fast. Spun him out, spun me out. I wasn’t expecting that. But it would have been nice to pursue that.HAROLD
