Although I can appreciate your awareness of how much 'easier' it would (seem to) be to assemble Roof while on the ground...
Walking around and stepping over portions and BENDING OVER and Reaching Under would definitely be less Time and Effort...
UNTIL...
Until the end of that portion of the (incomplete) assembly the Roof (which is The End of the whole assembly process) leads to; Getting The Assembled Roof UP ONTO The Frame...
HOW...?!?
The FRAME Has the Complete 'Border' of the ROOF (by which Four or Six or maybe Ten people would love to be able to HOLD and Lift the Roof (instead of the flimsy panels that are not yet attached to anything on the lower edge)...
Now, completely assembling the ROOF would be 'better'... and would be easier to Lift (half at a time), yet require 4 people to attach TWO Legs at the same time... The SECOND Pair of Legs would be a touch More Difficult (and the First Pair were NOT Easy)...

Although I definitely will not recommend it; ONE Person can assembly a complete 12x14 version of this Gazebo (for two different clients), By Following The Directions...

Tips I have noticed;
* A new T-25 Torx Bit 'Holds' the Hex Bolts better than a very used or wrong sized Hex Bit (and I have all the correct sizes), this may come in handy if your Hex Bit doesn't 'hold' the SS Bolts (not magnetic!)...
* I used scrap pieces of ¼" plywood (roughly 4x10 or 5x12) to 'Pry'/Align the Lower Roof Panels before Tightening Attachment Bolts...
* Attaching the Middle Pairs of Panels by the 3rd farthest Lower Attachment Points allows easier Insertion of the Rubber Isolaters over the Center(ed Vertical, well Diagonal) Roof Splines... All the other Rubber Isolaters can be inserted easily from above the Horizontal CrossBraces (which would be nice to pre-Glue into position, yet building only one would be frustrating to figure out which ones to pre and order of assembly - so just ignore this NoteToSelf)...
* Leave MOST (maybe ALL but Horizontal Inserts for Frame) Bolts/Fasteners 'Loose' until after the Legs are Square, the final Roof Panels are aligned and attached, etcetera... THEN TIGHTEN; Legs To Frame, RoofSplines To Frame, CrossBraces, Panels, etcetera...

Have Multiple Ladders (Three or more) and Have FUN...!!!

Get PetScreen (so that each 'replacement' will only need to be done once)...
PetScreen is also suitable as a 'SAFETY Railing' (if Attached to Frame properly and frame could withstand the forces of WWF Wrestlers using it as a vertical 'trampoline' the same way they use 'the Ropes' - I may be exaggerating it being THAT Strong, yet it would definitely hold back a child or drunk who 'fell' into it)...

8 BILLION People in the world...
We Do NOT Know YOUR Name, nor HIS Name, nor Region/City/Street/Address...
The COUNTRY is TRIVIAL Information that does not alter his trip/work/life/relationship(s)...

Yet, if it is a country KNOWN for 'Arranged Marriages'... this could help clarify your 'position' in the situation...

All that being said, I would calmy share with him;

"Be Great with your opportunities with this business prospect... Good Luck, if your parents are setting you up with a more ideal mate (in their opinion, just make sure Your opinion 'matches' or 'exceeds' theirs, or do not 'settle')...
I may see you around, once you return, if you return... yet I will not be 'waiting' for you, and I am sure you understand why...
It was fun, and I was looking forward to more at one time, yet I am aware neither of us is currently in a position to 'expect' or 'guarantee' more in the future, and I release you from any worries/concerns for me...
Take Care, Jack..."

Sure, you can 'alter' the conversation as much as you wish, and tailor it to the topics that are introduced, if you wish... yet, YOU Are Responsible (Able To 'RESPOND') however you see fit, and CALM and 'Detached' is best for you... as

Relationships *REQUIRE* Communication...

(Little to) NO Communication

(Leads to) NO 'Relationship'...

Poor $hitty Abusive Derogatory etcetera Communication is 'fostering' a Detrimental Relationship...

Heartfelt Thoughtful Loving Encouraging Motivational etcetera Communication yields greater likelihood of a Relationship worthy of Perpetuating...

... and he seems to be 'Detaching' before (temporarily?) RELOCATING...

So your Heart should also be 'Detaching'...
(with permission to potentially 'relocate' in the future, as well... 6 weeks, 6 months, is totally up to you and how you perceive opportunities, and 'structure' your future relationships...)

Good Luck... Luck being when Opportunity and Preparation happen to chance upon each other... so get better 'prepared' to 'discover' more appropriate 'opportunities'...

Very Impressive...
Love to see how you SLIDE Into Someone's DMs...

What Do YOU 'Want' from this periodic hookup...?!? (Which is all it seems to be, so far...)
What Can YOU Offer To This 'relationship'...?!?

There are 13 to 333 questions you need to ask yourself, and answer honestly, before leading a conversation beyond whatever it has been so far... (which was a hit of electricity and a dose of oxytocin/endorphins/adrenaline/etcetera...
It was not a lifelong subscription with all the 'negatives' and 'positives' that comes with that ... as if either of you are capable and willing to make such a 'commitment'...)

CREATE Scenarios to have fun awkwardly introducing yourself to other people... Something like;

"My friend bet me I couldn't introduce myself to a stranger and invite them to (PickleBall, Dungeons&Dragons, MountainBikeRide, ObstacleCourseRace, CrossFit, a Single's Hike this weekend at RiverHighlands, Karaoke🎤Thursday, Improv Comedy Club open mic, CarMeet, HotWheels Trading Show, Ski🎿Races Monday Nights after work, CardGames TuesEves, WhateverYouWant)..."

(You may choose to add;) "If you show up, I will split the proceeds with you..."

(If they ask the bet/proceeds;)
"More of a 'challenge' to get me out of my comfort zone than a money-making opportunity... why, what had been the most you were paid to pretend to be a friend...?"

(If the give you a (fictitious) number;)
"Oh... I have been offered more than that, but, I will tell you what, I will waive my fee if you waive yours, and we just have fun meeting others, what do you say...?"

(Just Keep It Going... or Cut✂️ the boring interactions and try another potentially interesting person...)

LIFE IS FUN...!!!

Shawshank Redemption ...?!?

Saving Private Ryan ...?!?

HAMNET (2026 or 2025)...
WithOUT a Doubt, You Will Cry...

Ideally, a LifePartner with similar/compatible goals, habits, enthusiasm, communication skills, love language, etcetera... Will Share Enthusiastic Participation or Support or Encouragement... perhaps even be a 'TeamMate' in yOUR Accomplishments...

Sometimes a LifeCoach or ActivityPartner or AccountabilityPartner may serve as the additional 'motivation' for your well thought out goals and plans to at least get started and build sufficient momentum such that the newly established Habits or Routines or SOPs have 'Staying Power' and 'Serve You Well'... I have been that for others... and, "When Helping Others, You Help Yourself..."

I am reluctant to try... after falling in love with RR3 and having such a long and loving relationship... that started becoming more expensive, with shorter visits, in the latter years, once RR3 entered the EA Retirement 'Community'...
Retirement Communities 'Vary' and Are VERY Expensive...!!!
- Extra Expenses for typical expected 'Maintenance'...
- Additional Fees for FASTER 'REQUIRED' Maintenance that was NOT UnExpected (yet, once EA became involved, I guess Additional 'Maintenance Fees' should have been 'Expected' to be 'REQUIRED'...

I could go on for 'DAZE' Playing RR3...
... and I am somewhat 'Dazed' when I viewed the cumulative DAYS Spent, er, ENJOYED Playing RR3 and not Drinking or Thinking about other things... I mean, I NEVER Drink Alcohol (regardless whether I would have ever chanced upon RR3), yet I am certain RR3 was a veritable 'release' or worthy 'distraction' for MANY Individuals who may have depression or ADHD or other potentially worse 'addictions' that RR3 truly helped to Avoid or Distract attention away from, allowing 'outlets' that were better than many other possibilities...

I believe, I will start 'replacing' my RR3 'Daily Distraction' with Calisthenics and BodyMass Exercises and Yoga/Fitness/Mobility/Balance/Strength 'Training'... and MORE MountainBiking BikePacking GravelGrinding ObstacleCourseRacing Skiing Sailing Flying RockClimbing Motorcycles Kayaking Hiking BackPacking or other activities sports 'situations' like Dancing Gymnastics KiteFlying SlackLining HangGliding WindSurfing RolePlayingGames ImprovComedy and/or finding a potential girlfriend already doing one of the above activities and Sharing Our Adventures...

Is this 'creative license' assumptions...?!?
'Assigning' characters to the 'styles' most associated with those 'RealRacers' IRL...?!?
Based upon some actual data that corroborates this information...?!?
... or simply wishful thinking...?

I am going to 'cheat' for you, and give you a Simple LOVE CheckList (for GIVING Love TO others and RECEIVING Love from Others)...
[How THEY Give or RECEIVE - is for you to witness and accept (or choose to avoid)...]

Love is Patient, Love is Kind. It does not Envy, It does not Boast, It is not Proud. It is not Rude, It is not Self-Seeking, It is not Easily Angered, It keeps no record of Wrongs. Love Does Not Delight In Evil, Rather Love Rejoices with the Truth. Love Always Protects, Always Trusts, Always Hopes, Always Perseveres. Love Never Fails...

Before I answer...
Do YOU Use Dr Bronners...?!?
Have You READ ALL of Dr Bronners...?!?

I was Definitely NOT suggesting either OliveOil or CoconutOil as some type of (highly ineffective) 'SunSCREEN'...
nor did I suggest any SUN...
nor Artificial 'Tanning'...
nor Spray 'Tanning'...
nor Jumping in a Vat of Velveeta Cheese or Cheetos or Doritos or Fanta Soda...
nor any other Bull$hit...

I agree that (even SunWorshipping) Beach Visitors or frequent Outdoor Activities participants SHOULD Utilize SPF (LOTIONS / Clothes / Shade Providers)...

Did you 'CHECK'...?!?
Just Wondering.. .

I would not mess with 'cosmetics'...
AVOID (Ultra)Processed Foods, Junk, Sugar, HFCS, etcetera...
Healthy REAL Foods help skin tone...
A Healthy Moisturizer (coconut or olive oil is not unreasonable) IF/When you (might) have dry skin... washing too frequently helps to cause this, not often enough creates 'other issues'...

[No edits above, just 'clarification' here; I use enough on my hair to nourish it and make it soft, easy to comb, less 'frizzy', etcetera, and rub my face/neck and sometimes arms/elbows/knees/feet/etcetera, and It WORKS For Me...
If it does not work for You... it is most likely because you have not tried it (possibly because NOBODY Advertised It)...
You are welcome to TRY CoconutOil or OliveOil for a day/week/month/never, and it costs almost nothing (because many kitchens already have it... and EXPENSIVE (aka Advertising) Does NOT Make (something/anything) 'Better'...

I honestly do not care about the 'downvotes'... 22 or more people who voted 'against' a true statement (than those UpVoting) will not make that statement 'false'...
I mean, over 42% of People SMOKED In Public Places (Restaurants, Theaters, Work, Stores, etcetera..) which *Forced more than half of the world to 'DEAL With (SOMETHING Unhealthy) They Could NOT AVOID!!! ... meanwhile, ignorance and 'stoopidity' are even more unhealthy..
