hey guys. my first qu while one the road. ive met some cool and interesting people where i have gone drinking with or went and saw a sight together.
now last couple of days was first i actually travelled with someone...i saw a girl packing asked where she was going which was same place as me, we hopped on the bus and were best mates in an hour (you know how it is). so we found accom and explored newquay and eden project together for a couple of days.
now after two days she started to get on my nerves a bit. im glad i met her and she was cool - gonna maybe c her b4 the bull run in barcelona. we had different plans for now so split, but how do you get rid of someone (putting it bluntly) that wants to cling onto you ?
i would have put this more nicely but have limited time online

You could always trick her by asking, "So, where are you headed next?" When she answers, say, "Well, I'm going to here instead...but gee, it's been great traveling with you. Here's my address...we gotta stay in touch!"

See if you can talk fast enough to make it a foregone conclusion before she objects...!

I totally agree with mike, allhough there is always the honest approach, which people hate and it hurts their feelings, in which case, at least you have a clear consciousness, or, you could always just pull a disapparing act. It depends if you want to keep in touch with her or not. I would probobly just explain that I prefer to be alone, and wish the other person the best of luck...

What if you just pull the old "I've got a girlfriend" routine?

lol

I don't know how much she knows about your life but just say something like;

"I've got a g/f back at home, I have feelings for you, and I'm afraid to jepordize your relationship with my g/f, so I can't see you anymore"

blah blah blah

You have to be a good lier if your going to pull that off though, so heads up.

in the relationship vain you could always go withe the 'I'm gay, sooooo gay' are, you could leave the hostel in the middle of the night and say it was for ur flight

Just tell her you're gonna take off to do some lone-traveling.....That you had so much fun and you'd love to keep in touch. Exchange digits... done! Just make sure after you tell her you're leaving that you bring the mood up with praise(i.e. that you're glad you met her, she’s a cool chick, you wish her good luck on her travels, etc.) That’s how you can stay out of trouble with most girls

Its like a sales pitch... you hit them with the price but then proceed to make them forget how expensive it is by all of the great features and wonderful long term savings. Lol

Or...say that your going off to another town to meet your gf. or something like that.
Personally, I'd be too nice + just stick with them. unless they really really were nail scratchingly annoying. Then, I'd scream for several seconds in their face. And run....
Nah, I'd probably just move hostels, and say that you didn't like the smell of the other place if you ever bump into them again.

Have you shag'd her? If ya have it might be harder to explain your way out of it...Run like a thief in the night!!!!

Just book out of the hostel and leave the city!!!

Leave a cryptic note to say why you are going...then run like hell. That way she can read into the note whatever she wants...







Might not work so well if there are chances of bumping into each other later on.

Well, that happened to me when I was in Italy. I was traveling with this guy I met in Rome and we went to Naples together. Somehow he got the idea that we were going to spend the rest of our trips together. I have a really hard time saying 'no' in general to people, especially since he was a really nice guy and a perfect gentleman. I got the feeling that he was developing feelings for me too. Everyday I would say to myself, today I'll tell him we need to split, but everyday I couldn't bring myself to b/c I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but the more I denied myself, the more suffocated I felt. So finally, one night, as we were separating in the metro station to go to our own pads, he expecting to see me that night, I told him at the metro station that I needed to travel on my own, and then it was totally weird he in one side of the track waiting for the train going one direction and I on the other. I felt so bad... I'm sure I could have handled it better, I would have hid under a rock if I could. Later, as I was checking my email on the road, I got an email from him saying he didn't know what he had done to make me go running away like that, I reassured him that it was not him, but my need to travel alone, which was totally true, and he said that in the past everytime a girl said it wasn't him, in fact, it was him, so I reassured him again, and that was the end of that...
