I will be going for a 12 days visit to an international country. I am dating this person since 3 months (I am not in love with him, and he is - we are just seeing how things go) who said I had to give him my number upon reaching there. I want to see this break as a real vacation to relax with peace of mind, and not have someone call me all days to chat or check on me.

What exactly can I say to him, so he gets the message without being hurt?

I don't mind letting him know I reached, once I reach. But I don't want us constantly in touch, which he will want to be, and once he has my number (which he will demand) I will be stuck.

Here's what you do - give him the number to your hotel room, and then tell him that you don't intend to spend a lot of time there, and you probably will not have time to talk to him most days. Tell him you want to get the most out of your vacation and you will talk to him when you get back and send him a postcard.

Then talk to him once when you get there to let him know you arrived. Give him some time on the phone, tell him how awesome its going to be and some of the things you intend to do. Then tell him not to worry if he doesn't hear from you often, because you will not want to spend a lot of time on the phone.

It would be nice if you like the guy to give him a buzz once or twice during the 12 days and send him a postcard (send it the first day so that it gets there and he will think you're thinking of him).

What you do is call him at the airport from a pay phone (if they are still around), and tell him you do not know the number of where you are staying, so you will say hi to him when you return to your usual residence.

Give him a call halfway through vacation just to say hi and you will talk to him when you return.

DO NOT give into demands! If he truly cares about you he will not DEMAND anything! He would respect your wish to relax!

If this guy is demanding I don't see the relationship lasting.

Just tell him you want a nice relaxing vacation without having people bothering you! You need time to sort things out in your head! If he is like this after only 3 months just imagine how bad it'll be after 3 years!! Good luck and have a great vacation!!

I would call him from the hotel to let him know you made it and just tell him that your cell will not work over there and that you will call him when you get back.

this is what you say
"honey, I will be away for almost two weeks. Don't worry about me. I will call you when I get back!"

Easy, tell him you didn't get the message and if it's a cell phone tell him you didn't have reception!

tell him you'll call him. That implies 'don't call me, i'll call you' and then try to call him at least once. If he ignores your request and calls anyway, ignore his call, don't answer.
