Holiday Romances:The Dos and Don'ts
Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka|November 2019
Found love in Paris? That’s great sweetheart, but don’t forget to say au revoir before you board the plane!
Holiday Romances:The Dos and Don'ts

Picture this: You’re enjoying a freshly baked chocolate croissant in a small cafe down the Paris streets. You’re breathing in the French air when you lock eyes with an intense gaze. Your heart skips a beat and a shiver runs through your spine when those ocean-blue eyes start moving towards you. The romantic French accent reaches your ears, “Bonsoir Mademoiselle!”. Your insides turn to jelly and you flush a bright red. You’re completely smitten and who can blame you right? Right. But, before you walk the perilous path of a holiday fling, make sure you’re covering all your bases…

New Year’s Eve is fast approaching and with it vacay season comes knocking on your door. Be it a month or two weeks, you’ll be applying for annual leave and getting ready to take off, bidding adieu to the chaos of life and embracing the wave of euphoria that comes with travel. This stress-free state of mind together with dopamine flowing through your system will set the stage for love to bloom.

Whether you decide to start swiping on Tinder or meeting people the conventional way, embrace the whirlwind of emotions that’ll come with meeting someone new in a different country. Who knows, maybe you’ll soon be living a real life Hallmark holiday movie! Explore the city, try new food, share stories and create memories together.
