A month or so ago I (27M) downloaded Hinge just to meet random people I wasnt even looking for a hook up or anything just meeting random people is fun to me. Also this year I have been really entering my prime, I am doing great ay my business and Im in the best physical shape of my life I feel great all around.

Fast forward a week and I match with this girl (23F), and she is gorgeous, we started chatting and she is incredibly easy to talk to, we even have 1 hour long phone calls before even meeting irl, then we actually meet to grab some drinks and we have a blast.

Its been 2 weeks since we started chatting and we have been on 3 dates, its felt very fast almost too fast. At the beginning I felt she was going too fast and I did told her that I needed more time to fully get to know her, I also feel she got attached too me very fast, but now I really really like her.

Now my main concern is that in 1 month im leaving to go on a Eurotrip with my friends, we will go to multiple countries to party and meet new people. I will be out of the country for a whole month and I kinda wanna be single for the trip, I wanna be able to talk with girls without any guilt not for anything sexual as being honest im not into casual hookups as I crave emotional investment.

Anyway I am struggling to figure out how to approach this situation obviously Im not gonna lead her on or anything. Im thinking of telling her that I feel getting into a relationship right before i leave for this long trip is not something im comfortable with but i would love to be able to reconnect when i get back if she is interested.

any ideas?

I met this amazing girl recently but Im leaving for a trip in a month and im struggling with how to handle it
