Your emotions and intuitions might tell you to trust but please consider the fact that you cannot get to know another person within a few hours or days. I was stupid, foolish and naive to go into an affair without thinking of consequences and protection. I got to know at least 3 other girls out of myself after me The consequences came up later on It happened to me in Flores, with a local guide.
I'm under treatment right now with sexually transmitted infections, and i might not be the only one. He is a local guide you can easily bump into!! A local man from flores, and as i've heard later, he is married, as far as i know, he has wife and kids too, but he hides them, he never speaks of it. It was an emotional brakedown to get to know how dishonest he was towards me, so many others, among his family. I'm left behind with possibly very serious virus to face and treat and a very bad story to learn from.
I'm not generalising for all men in Flores, it is a case of one man, please note. He is a great guide actually.. There are so many guides in Flores so he is in safe, i hope.
I think you've been very brave to post your unhappy experience onto the TA forum and thank you for doing so. Of course holiday romances always end in tears but these days with all the very serious STD's that seem to be increasing, there are also too often dire health consequences to face later.
I hope that you manage to regain your health soon. This awful episode no doubt will leave you wiser and hopefully your story may reach out to other naive and innocent people with the lesson to resist temptation and keep your knickers on at all costs.
