I've always just found it helpful to be upfront with every girl. I let them know from the beginning that I travel a lot, I enjoy the company of many women from around the world. With some of these women, I build close relationships while I am in their city. We do everything normal couples do while I'm there and it's great. I always keep in contact with these women and sometimes meet up with them again later.
There is always the possibility for pain and heartache in these situations though. It's just part of being human. I don't think there really is anything you can do to prevent it besides opting out of closeness. I choose not to deprive myself of that experience though. Sometimes the women decide they don't like it and move on. That's just part of the game. I'd be lying if I said that didn't hurt sometimes but my love of travel and variety is stronger than my desire to settle down anywhere.
