How to survive a holiday rendezvous
Summer���s
coming
up,
you���ve
got a fun bunch of girlfriends heading off
to the Caribbean for a couple of weeks
and you���ve got some time up your sleeve.
Having just broken up with your man,
what could be better for your ego right
now than a tropical holiday romance. And
why not? There���s nothing more enchanting
than spending time with someone special
in picturesque surroundings, discovering
different experiences, and relating to your
new ���friend��� in a way that you wouldn���t get
a chance to do back home. Life becomes
magical and you wish that time could stand

still.��But before you get carried away, holiday
romances do have their pitfalls. You can be
left feeling empty and heartbroken when the
holiday is over. Things can also sour quickly
if your ���friend��� meets someone else during
the holiday, or you might have discovered
that they have a spouse and children back
home. You might even have ended up with
more than you bargained for if you failed
to use protection. Can you see how quickly
an idyllic holiday can very quickly turn into
a nightmare? Yet it���s nearly impossible to
recognize the pitfalls in the first flushes of
infatuation.
