My number 1 travel and dating rule that may make me seem cold and distant

Family time

When things ended with my ex, I consciously decided not to date. In the past, when things ended, I would have moved on within a day or two; this time was different.

This was my first relationship since I was sober and my first real relationship since I left the US. I typically have a dating and travel rule as well.

When I first started traveling five years ago, I was actively dating. I would go on dates and treat my life like I was still in the US. Yet I was not; I was in a new country and did not understand the culture, and dating at times was awkward, and overall, I did not enjoy it.

I don’t particularly enjoy dating anyway.

I am the type of person who meets someone and will never date more than one person at once, and if I like one person, it is impossible for me to have the same feelings for two people. I can be friends with multiple people, but a relationship is reserved for only one.

I realized that even if I liked someone I met in a country abroad, my plan was to travel; it was not to stay in a country, and after that, I made the rule that I currently use.
