A few months back I [M, 23] was staying in a hostel abroad. I was traveling alone and didn’t have many plans for the day, except going for a workout and to a meetup later in the afternoon. I shared my hostel room with six other people, of which, as it turned out, tree others, all girls, were from the same country as I. Around lunchtime I went for my workout. When I came back, the room was empty – except for one of the girls, who was also traveling alone as I soon were to find out. We didn’t really talk and sweaty as I was, I headed off to take a shower.
I thought about how I could approach her, as she was around my age, good looking and I was on my adventurous holidays and didn’t really have anything to loose. When I came back, she was still there, sitting on her bed and staring at her phone, making the impression of being kind of lost or at least without a plan for the day. I already had put on my underwear in the shower, but I strongly assume me getting dressed and us being alone had already set some sexy vibes. Since it was like an almost perfect setting to start a conversation, I did indeed approach her, without needing to overcome too many mental hurdles as often is the case in other situations.
