Never ignore the red flags

Hey ladies! Sorry for troubling you all with this rant but I'm afraid I'm feeling a bit rubbish. I was seeing someone for about a month and a half, I know it's not long but he's the first guy I've liked in over 2 years (I've been on a few dates but I never ended up finding the guys attractive enough for a second date).

I thought that we both really liked each other and I'm afraid I got caught up in the excitement of finally having found someone after being lonely for so long. I stupidly ignored some red flags and surprise surprise he dumps me by text the night before my first ever solo holiday.

So now I'm in a foreign country by myself feeling really upset and lonely. I booked this trip before I met him, thinking it would make me feel empowered and independent but now it just feels like a showcase of how alone I am. I hate that I've allowed him to ruin my trip, I'm flying back tomorrow night and I've spent a significant portion of my holiday crying in my hotel room.

I also feel really used because his text said that he was sure I must have noticed that he'd been distant for a while(I thought he was just busy with work) so he'd clearly been intending to do this for some time and yet he was fine getting me to drive for an hour to see him for an evening a few days before this. And we had sex (he knew I'd only slept with one other person and that sex was a big deal to me).

Sorry for the rant. This is what happens when you ignore the red flags.
