Getting away from your real life can be such a breath of fresh air. When you’re plugged into holiday mode, you cannot help but lose the confines of your shyness, and it can be quite nice to feel like you’re a completely different person. With the inevitability of boozing and general hedonism on holiday, its possible that you might meet someone one and pursue the passion of a holiday fling.
How can you successfully walk away from such a short-lived romance without a broken heart? Is there a way to do it properly?
Of course there is! Pay attention to the following tips:
Be Realistic
When we go on holiday, we forget that real life and social customs exist. We are generally happier on holiday and of course this impacts the way we perceive our surroundings. Everything and everyone is great because we feel great. So its important to understand that your holiday romance is generally not going to last because it’s a time and place issue – you are relaxed, and not existing the real world. Seriously, would you date this person if they were from your city?
Holiday Romances are super fast-paced
If you weren’t on holiday, it’s likely that you wouldn’t sleep with this person in the first couple hours of meeting them. However, because you’re functioning on limited time it can seem like there’s more pressure to take things faster. Playing all your good cards at once is never usually successful when it comes to starting a long-term romance.
Choose the right partner
When it comes to having a successful holiday fling, you must choose someone whom you know you could never have a future with. They might be completely opposite of what you’re looking for but they’re one hell of a great lay. Or they might be older, younger, etc.
Remember to have fun to never take life too seriously when you’re on holiday. Its all about letting your hair down, feeling the ocean breeze on your skin, and having one too many pina coladas.
