13 Abr Dating on the Road vs. Dating in “Real Life”

I think honesty is the best policy, and value that above all else when dating – so I make sure I'm clear about my situation with any guy I meet

This is probably the juiciest post I've written in a while, but it's one that I know everyone is curious about. Over the past few months, I had a couple friends ask me the all-encompassing question: “what's dating like when you're traveling and on the road?” So, I figured now was as good a time as any to answer the question with my own personal experience. Settle in, this is a long one: let's go!

In many ways, dating when you're traveling is pretty similar to dating in “real life” – when you're in a stable location https://getbride.org/kuumat-guatemalan-naiset/ and going about life as usual. People look for someone they connect with, who wants the same type of relationship as they do. People meet organically, at a bar or an event or at the beach or at the gym, or people meet through dating apps (much more to come on that below). On paper, it might not seem all that different.

Long-term travelers most likely aren't actively seeking out a serious, long-term relationship/partner. Not to say that everyone traveling long-term doesn't want this. But ultimately, the nature of travel is spontaneous, unpredictable, and inconsistent; and that doesn't align with what many people want from an ideal long-term partnership.

One of the best dating app bios I've read that summed up the situation perfectly was, “Not in your town for a long time, make me stay longer or leave with me.”

Like dating in normal life, I believe it's incredibly important to know what you want and what you're looking for when you're dating.
