Feeling i ve been taken for a ride

Thank you calendar girl
That’s what I think too ( about his wallet )

Yes- this from Tanith and Calendargirl. Move forward, don't give him space in your head and certainly not your heart.

I agree with Tanith.

Sadly, he seemed keen to hook up with you again, but then he met young Colombian lady, who seemed a better offer, but yes, hedging his bets to fall back on you if it doesn’t work out.

24 years younger than him, so she’s 46 to his 70.

No fool like an old fool, she’s probably more interested in his wallet than him.

Wave him off, and don’t be too available to pick up the pieces.

In a one-word answer yes just let it go.

Reading between the lines, it sounds as if he has been quite upfront with you. You knew he was going to Columbia and while he wanted to visit you on his return, he told you straight up that he’d met someone in Columbia and would be going back to her.
Is it also possible that your source of information had read more into things re him wanting to rekindle the relationship?
Perhaps it’s his nature (like mine) to be friendly and chatty in texts and you’ve over-thought their importance?

Personally, I don’t think you’ve been taken in, on the evidence of your post. I think you were ‘keen’ to rekindle something and perhaps, he just saw you as a friend?

Please don’t be too upset or blame yourself. Just one of those things.

Thanks Tanith
I am 66 and he is 70
So you would let it go ?

You don’t say what ages you both are, but to me it would seem he’s hedging his bets if it doesn’t work out with the Columbia lady he’s got you in abeyance. I’d let him bugger off to wherever and be wary when he tries to reconnect in the future. Sorry if thats not what you want to hear but that’s my take on it.
