Every year, men make plans to travel to some tropical place, where they hope to discover new cultures, new foods, meet new friends, and
 maybe encounter an exciting woman that will knock them off their feet.

What usually happens is that they discover new cultures, taste new cuisines, and meet new people, but forget or wait too long before developing a summer fling with that exciting woman .

What follows are the secrets to developing a summer sizzle (even though we are in the middle of winter, since a lot of men go on vacation during this time) with a lovely lady, and keep the relationship going for many more seasons.
First Mission
In general, women plan their vacations in large groups, and usually go as a group of three to five friends. The main purpose of the vacation is to relieve stress, and to have a great time with some friends. These four factors can help you realize why it's easier to approach women on vacation:

1. The darker the tan, the better. The intensity of the vacationers' tan is a clear indication of the level of enjoyment while away. Most women's prime mission is to soak up as many sun rays as possible.

2. Letting go. There's something about summer vacations that makes women feel more sensual, playful, and willing to experiment more than usual. Women's defense levels are low, and their critical eyes are looking at life-and men-through rose colored sunglasses. This is a time where they are far from the rules on how a woman should behave. It is a time to be free and to let go.

3. Take pictures of men. Women love to meet good-looking male friends and take tons of pictures to bring back and showoff to their drooling friends back home.

4. Meet Don Juan. Women dream of meeting a totally intriguing, exciting, wild man that is different from the guys they usually date.

Knowing these four points, you realize why it is easier for a man to approach a woman on vacation, rather than in a club. You can put your fears of being rejected to rest. Remember, she is there to have fun and meet interesting people, so go have fun and be an interesting person to talk to.
First Opportunity
When you're on vacation, and you want to meet someone special, time is essential, and it is a luxury you can't afford to lose. You only have one to two weeks to meet someone, develop trust between each other, develop a friendship, and eventually start a romance.

Most men procrastinate, and wait for the last minute before getting the courage to go talk to that cute brunette he met at the airport, or that is staying in the room next door. In the end, you'll hear the men complain that the fun only begins once it is time to leave. That's because they waited until the end before having fun.

You have to take advantage of the first opportunity you get. There is no time to waste. You have to:

1. Move quickly, make your mark, and be noticed.

2. Be friendly with every single person you meet, by initiating small talk with everyone, including the locals and hotel employees. The locals and employees are usually the ones who know where the action is, and they usually invite the guests they see as cool to some of the best nightspots. You want to be seen as one of those cool people.

3. Find out about all the local activities that are being organized, and join them.

4. When you finally meet a potential romantic partner, smile, and she might even smile back. The longer you wait to go talk to her, the stranger she'll think you are when you finally do approach her.

5. When you finally meet her, make small talk by asking open-ended questions like, "Where are you from? What brings you to...? What interesting things have you done since you arrived?" The important thing is to be interesting, and have a continuous conversation.

6. Be friendly to all her friends. Remember, everyone is there to have fun.

7. Become friends and do activities together.

8. Remain mysterious, and don't be too pushy.

9. Get rid of all sexual thoughts. You want to develop a friendship first, which won't happen if she senses your hormones steaming through your bathing suit.

10. Don't be shy. Shyness is nice, but it can prevent you from doing all the things in life that you'd like to do

Lasting Past The Summer
So you finally have a summer romance headed in full swing. How can you turn your steamy fling into a forever thing? You have to get over some of the obstacles that may get in the way of further developing your relationship.

The Sex Is Great, But Who Is This Girl?: You know where every freckle on her body is, but you're totally clueless when it comes to some of the basics about her, such as her favorite color, favorite ice cream, or favorite TV show. As the summer winds down, you start to wonder (maybe) if there is more to this girl than just sex. You can solve this mystery by doing something neither of you have done before. You can collect all kinds of information about each other, by trying something totally new.

She's Your Total Opposite: Does the old saying, opposites attract worry you? Cheer up, because dating someone who's not your carbon copy can open you up to a whole new world. Sometimes big differences only seem larger than they really are. Often, the things you think make you and her such opposites, are actually the things you have in common.

She Lives In Lisbon, You Live in New York: You need to be realistic about what it will take to keep the relationship alive. Before you each part your own separate ways, you need to talk about your expectations, and what is acceptable in terms of commitment. The benefit of this situation is that you get the feel of a connection and independence at the same time. This allows you to ease into a commitment without the pressures that love can bring, while you're still getting to know each other.

She Has A Boyfriend: You've touched, kissed, laughed, and maybe even rolled in the sand together. Now she's packing up to return to her other life, and your panicking. The best solution is to let her go without a fuss. Give her the freedom to figure out what she wants. It is the best way to hold on to her. If she is convinced that the two of you are meant to be, she will return. Before she leaves, tell her to call you if she misses you.
Is She Just Having Fun?
Your summer romance partner comes to visit you in your home turf. Now is the chance to see if the summer magic still exists between the two of you, before you both waste any more time with each other.

It is definitely a serious relationship if:
1. She tries to become friends with your dog.
2. She asks you what you're doing for your birthday three months in advance.
3. Her friends know who you are.
4. She can name your three best friends, and your ex.
5. She refers to a future together, as in, If you get that promotion by Christmas, we'll celebrate together.

It is definitely for fun if:
1. You still don't have a picture of her.
2. She never asked you about your job.
3. She never referred to you as her boyfriend.
4. Every time you turn your back for a minute, she's flirting with other men.
5. She never stays the night.
Like I said, it might be premature to be discussing a summer fling, but a little planning never hurt anyone.
