Many people view holiday romances in a negative light but are they always a bad thing? Can they sometimes be positive as long as no-one gets hurt?

Take Allison for example. After a painful divorce a year ago, she and a friend decided to get away from it all and took a week’s holiday in Cyprus. On the first day she got chatting to a waiter called Christos who was clearly very interested in her and made her laugh a lot. They soon embarked on a fling lasting the remainder of the holiday. “It was fun,” says Allison now. “He made me feel special, which I hadn’t felt in a really long time.”

On her return, she told her friends about the experience and some questioned whether it had been a good idea. Allison tried to explain. “I’m not so young and impressionable any more and I knew what I was doing. Most people remarked how glowing and positive I seemed when I got home and I think this had something to do with me meeting someone at a BBQ who I have now been seeing for some months.”

For Allison, the holiday romance boosted her confidence but they can often have the opposite effect. If you are in a vulnerable place emotionally such as a recent break-up of an important relationship or believe a short-term holiday fling could turn into a long-term relationship, you should avoid getting involved. Also if other partners are still in the picture then the ensuing complications and hurt are definitely best avoided.

I believe that self-esteem and positivity comes from within and short-term fixes don’t always have long term effects.
