Everyone dreams of a holiday romance the sun, sea and sand
makes for a perfect combination. Coupled with the excitement of meeting someone
new on a single holiday, it can really lift the spirits and why not? After all, life’s for enjoying
and for sharing – so with that in mind, we thought we’d come up with our top 10
tips to help things along:
1. Book
a group holiday: joining a tour specifically for singles holidays is definitely a plus
as everyone is on common ground, making it easier to start talking to people
and get the conversations flowing.
2. Choose
an activity holiday: maybe you really enjoy creative pursuits like painting or
cooking or you’re into Pilates or yoga. Opting for something you’re passionate
about or have always wanted to try is a great way to meet new people who share
your interests – and may help a holiday romance blossom too.
3. Take
care of yourself: in the run up to your holiday give yourself a little more
TLC. Start exercising at the local gym or enrol in a class, plan your holiday
wardrobe and maybe treat yourself to a new haircut. Make yourself feel great.
4. Be
responsible for your own happiness: don’t let the holiday be all about finding
romance. Life should be full of fun experiences regardless of whether you’re
single or not. Spend time on what makes you feel good. Happy people are more
attractive to others in any case.
5. Make
a pact with yourself: your single holiday is the perfect opportunity to set yourself
some positive goals. Maybe you want to be kinder to yourself or make a
conscious effort not to focus on old relationships and the baggage that comes
with them. See it as a fresh start.
6. Be
realistic: if you meet your perfect match and love really does blossom you’ll
have a wonderful story to tell. On the other hand if it only lasts as long as
the holiday and you’ve both enjoyed yourselves then you’ll go away with some
fond memories.
7. It’s
good to talk: the art of good conversation makes you a more interesting date
but remember to listen as well. Romance and friendship is two-way; people like
to learn about others and their interests but they also want to feel this is
reciprocated too. Besides, focusing on someone else can take the pressure off
you!
8. Explore
together: a holiday romance can be a perfect opportunity to find out more about
the country that you’re visiting and all it has to offer. Having that shared
experience gives you more to talk about too.
9. Play
safe: by all means enjoy spending time with your new-found companion but don’t
let the thrill of finding love lead you to take risks. A modicum of common
sense is important for your own safety. If you’re on holiday with friends then
let them know who you’re with, where you’re going, and when you’ll return. If
you feel uncomfortable about your prospective date, then heed the warning signs
and stay clear.
10. Romance
or not, with the power of social media there’s no need to lose touch with the
people you meet on holiday. Link up on Facebook for instance and keep in
contact with those you feel a mutual connection with and
a shared sense of purpose – these friendships might just be worth nurturing.
