This is what happened to me, and why I didn't travel for another five years.

Sorry to hear that, it sounds like bad luck.

Do you think the trip would have been completely different if you didn't see her at the train station?

>>1192861
Maybe?

Before I saw her I spent a lot of time wandering around London thinking "Wow she would love to see this!" Or " oh boy I can't wait to tell her about this experience!" I'm feeling sad because I realized even if I did email her she wouldn't bother replying because she thinks so little of me.

When I saw her at the station I stared and even waved but she didn't acknowledge my presence, and dude was too busy admiring her bod and trying to show her around to notice me.

Felt horrible, and back home she did confirm that she saw me but in a dissmissive passive agressive way.

I think it did distract me some, just because it was a different location and totally different experience than I was used to....Made thinking about her just 70% of the time instead of 90% of the time. Till I met her I really wasn't interested in traveling at all the whole thing was mostly her idea and I just sort of went along with it because whatever. But yeah maybe it was good for me.

I broke up three weeks ago. Since then I've hooked up with a girl om tinder. Made out with nameless girls in bars. Booked a flight to new zealand and I've never been happier. Hang out with good friends and meet new people often.

Distractions are the best medicine for a break up.

what did you say to actually get a girl to hook up with you on Tinder?

whenever I use it if I ask him to come back to my place with anything less than a full fucking week of chatting, they either unmatch instantly or play it off as a joke and say not without a few dates in public first. asking for Netflix and chill just gets LOL in return

Do it, but have a backup plan in case you feel lonely.

I always meet up with people I've met online in public first. Nothing against them, just safety reasons. I mostly had good experiences, but you never know what sort of creep you run into.
Just pick a cafe or bar near your place, meet up there first, I'm sure they'll just end up going to your place if they see you're normal.

>>1192869
Within 24 hrs of chatting i make a schedule to meet..

We went on a 7 hour date and the last stop was a cafe with secluded rooms with sliding doors. We banged there.

The physical flirting just exponentially built up from the beginning. I grabbed her hand early. Tried to kiss during the movies. Basic shit.

This was in Busan, Korea.

>>1192833
This is relevant to me now. My last trip I went on I was with her and it was fucking perfect. No, literally fucking perfect. We went to a tropical place in Asia, loved each others company, fucked like twice a day, good food, good everything.

Now, she's gone. I have 1 week holiday coming up and nobody to go with. I know if I go somewhere solo I will just be comparing this solo trip with the previous trip and it's making me feel disgusted with the idea of going.

OP Here.

Have any of you guys traveled alone after a breakup to somewhere more lonely and where it was difficult to meet other people? That's my main concern. If I was going to a place like Bangkok I'd have no concerns.

I think it depends on where you're going.

When I was 20, I'd planned a trip around Iceland, across Europe, through the Middle-East, and into India. The year before I'd traveled Turkey, Greece, the Caucasus, and then flown to Dubai and New Delhi to spend two months with my then-girlfriend.

We broke up two or three weeks before I was due to depart. Our relationship had been on shaky grounds since she'd come to visit me in the United States in winter, with her deciding that distance wasn't going to work.

She was my first girlfriend and broke up with me by telling me that she was going to go on a date with somebody else.

Most of the fifteen days I spent in Iceland were characterized by crippling depression. I was in Reykjavik longer than I should have been, staring at the wall and writing silly entries in my travel diary.

Once I got out of the hostel and began hitchhiking around the Ring Road, I had a bit more fun. I flew to Edinburgh and then traveled to Glasgow and London. My mood wasn't great, so I missed a flight I'd bought months before to Lisbon in favor of spending time with a friend I'd met in Germany the summer before.

Being with somebody I knew really helped lift my mood.

Nah, sorry.

On my last trip I also had broken up with another girl. We'd dated for two years, broke up in June of 2016, and I left in August. However, we kept seeing each other exclusively until I left.

Was pretty rough but the two months of preparation and coping helped a lot. I still felt like we were together, but I also knew we were over. Having that extra time let me put my mind in the right place when I began traveling.

My suggestion would be to have a solid travel plan, full of activities and scenic locations for you to bike to. The more you do, the better off you'll be. Hope you're going somewhere warm and sunny, too.

Iceland was rainy, cold, and windy - the worst place to go post-breakup.

Thanks for the response, I'll need to reconsider my travel plan. It was originally to have a few destinations in mind and wing it. But that might not be a good idea.

I'll see what happens. Thanks again everyong for sharing your stories.

>>1192869

You don't ask them to come to your house. Very few girls are actually willing to go over to some random guys house they've never met - that part of tinder is massively overstated (not saying it doesn't happen). You're going to have to go on dates with girls just like normal if you want to get laid.

How did you plan this travel?
how much money did you spent for it?

>>1194808

I didn't plan it. I bought the tickets to the places I wanted to go to. That's it.

I spent about $2300, not including my tickets from New York to Reykjavik and from Reykjavik to Edinburgh. I purchased several tickets using that $2300, including one from Istanbul to Dubai and another from Dubai to New Delhi.

I mostly ran out of money not long after arriving in India. I worked in tourism and gave guided tourists to some fat Polish fuck to earn extra bucks.
