Hello all,
I’m at a point where I’d really appreciate your thoughts as I can’t think properly anymore… : )

Some background information: I’m 24 and live in Germany. Last year in Nov when boarding a tour bus in Africa I met this guy, also from Germany but currently on a round-the-world trip. He approached me and we talked for hours and spent a magic night down at the beach just talking and drinking beer until my plane left early the next morning. I wouldn’t have asked him for his number but he was quite clear that he wanted to stay in touch.
Well, and so he did… It’s been a good 7 months since then and he’s been sending me post cards, texting me, we’ve even been skyping for hours and he keeps saying he needs to see me again. Needless to say I feel the same.

So now here I am with two weeks of holidays in 8 weeks’ time. (I’ve had some time off before but felt it was way too early to cross the world to see him). This time I’m thinking about going to see him though and this is where my problem begins.

When I actually let him know that I’d be willing to come and see him, I probably hoped for him being all “wow, I can’t believe this”. He did say he was happy to read that but the first feeling I had when reading his response was a kind of dissappointment. Might be totally over the top, I don’t know.
I told some of my dear friends and they were like “why can’t he fly to see you, why does it have to be you” or “it’s absolutely crazy to cross the world for s.o. you’ve only seen for one day/night”

Normally I’m a strong believer of “better try & fail than never try at all” and I think you meet people for a reason but I’m beginning to feel doubts – maybe he’s one of those people who talks all day but with nothing to it, maybe I’m too naive and my gut feeling is right after all, maybe I should just go diving for those two weeks (my own passion), maybe….

So sorry for the long post, just need to decide what I’m going to do within the next two weeks and to be honest, it’s just all too much for me at the moment… really appreciate you thoughts, thanks so so much! : )
