Why does this happen to me ?

As some of you know, I spent the last week in Hong Kong on work. I met someone there - he was an aussie bloke and we hit off instantly. Even though I knew it was not going to last, I spent all my evenings while I was there with him - even refusing official dinners just so that I can be with him. We even held hands under the table, and then became bolder and held hands over the table (something which is not common in HK !! )

After a long long time, I started feeling something above my waist in addtion to feeling it below my waist.

But then I left for London, and he is relocating back to Australia (he was an expat in HK) this weekend.

We even had our own song - and the orchestra in my hotel used to start singing it as soon as they saw us (after we asked them to sing it on our second date)

Why does this happen to me?

This is the second time Australia has snatched away something which had potential. (no fault of Australia though....)

Oh yes, and we cried when we parted on our last night...

Life sucks..

Just wanted to vent...

That's a shame. I met a girl from Gillingham, once, in Keswick. She was a real beauty. But we both had other lives to lead, other priorities.

I know an Australian gay guy in HK, a musician. Was it him?

I suspect, G, that you night feel freer, lighter, more out-going, less constricted, more open to adventure, when away from home.
Now, if you felt the same, on your home turf .........! Very Happy

:wink:

..... And who knows, maybe you haven't seen or heard the last of your new friend!

Prince--

Better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all--particularly when the ache has gone and you can feel philosophical.

Aww...

Can't you even attempt a long-distance romance? I know it's hard, but I've been rooting for you to find someone for quite a while now and it seems a shame to just give up when you find a great guy, especially if at least one of you has the financial wherewithal to make a go of it (does he, too?)

It wasn't the crocodile hunter was it, prince? Because if it was, that guy is married.

You don't get along with a whole COUNTRY worth of people?

Ok.

So you are more willing to kick up your heels in a diffrent place..

what about making it a point to visit some city a hundred miles or so from home so that you are still 'free' in a new place and more open to new encounters?

Im sorry you meet people who are too far from you.
It sounds like you have been single for a long time and are starting to feel really lonely. That cant feel very good. Sad

I do hope you can find someone close to home, or find someone who can help you relocate to them if need be.

Best of love luck dear. Wink
