34M living in Canada. I had a bad breakup from a long-term relationship in the fall of 2024 and guess I was vulnerable (maybe still am). 4 months ago, I went to London, UK for a friends wedding for 2 weeks.
While there, I hit it off with one of his wife's friends. There was a definite attraction, we went on a short 2 day trip as well after the wedding and were like teenagers in love. Anyway, I had to return to Canada of course but wished I didn't have to leave.
We stayed in touch, texting almost everyday and calling occasionally too and last month, she asked me to come visit her. I was a bit tight for money, but still said yes because I wanted to see her. The days leading up to it saw less communication from her but she reassured me she was just busy with work.
I landed in London last week, checked into my hotel (she has roommates so didn't want me staying with her) and asked if we could meet. We meet for coffee and within 5 minutes, she says she can’t do this any more and doesn't really like me. I asked if it was because of the distance and she said no, she just wasn't feeling it. Then I asked why she couldn't just tell me this on the phone and she said she never does that, and felt like she owed me to tell me in person.
Holy fuck. I just left. I had planned to be in London for 5 days but got on a flight back the next day. Since then, I have pretty much been in a state of shock, confusion and frustration. I can't believe it.
TL;DR: Flew from Canada to the UK to hear I was dumped
