#1 Thou shall always keep it light and breezy
![Be as clueless as Alicia Silverstone here. Or pretend to be.](https://wanderluxe.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/http-2.bp_.blogspot.com-BsO-neaCUAYUEg0rx3mg4IAAAAAAAAAGghfvUesrUXM0s1600Clueless.jpg-1024x576.jpg)
It’s a vacay fling. If there are things such as beer goggles, there are tan goggles and bikini-martini goggles (you get the drift). Just because the location’s got you on a high, it doesn’t mean he’s a good guy.
#2 Thou shalt keep friends in the friendzone
![Ron Weasley's the only guy you should let out of there.](https://wanderluxe.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/http-25.media_.tumblr.comtumblr_m8zcv5fxwZ1qzwu2yo1_500.jpg.jpg)
It’s tempting – you know them, they know you. Could it be that you were always meant to be? Chances are, no. Unless you don’t see much of each other in normal-day-wear while sober.
#3 Thou shall expect nothing
![And appreciate everything. Also, never be disappointed! Win, win, win.](https://wanderluxe.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/http-www.aceshowbiz.comimagesstilltime_traveler_s_wife07.jpg-1024x683.jpg)
Go into it expecting absolutely nothing in return. In fact, go into it like jumping into the sea naked. Get a shock, be thrilled, and don’t plan your way around; that makes it much more fun.
#4 Thou shall wrap it up
This might easily be commandment number #1. In the sack. In bed. If you know what we mean. You should! Do we need to draw you a diagram??? Otherwise, you might end up with one of these annoying little brats.
#5 Thou shall not abandon your friends (if any)
![The perfect example of how to have a relationship with friends around.](https://wanderluxe.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/http-images.canberratimes.com_.au2014060454826571401851814818.jpg-620x349.jpg.jpg)
If you came on a group trip, the last thing you want to do is abandon the people who agreed to come with you. If you must, bring the holiday hookup. He/she is only a temp, after all. Your friends rank gold.
#6 Take good we-fies
![You could go for the safe route, or... this...](https://wanderluxe.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/http-i.imgur_.comR1qMAuD.jpg-1024x683.jpg)
The only exception to this rule is if you have a honey back home, then kiss and never tell. In which case, naughty you. If you don’t, you’ll want to immortalise this moment in time.
#7 All good things must come to an end
![It's inevitable. Don't let it turn sour. Yes, we have a thing for Rachel McAdams.](https://wanderluxe.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/10501917_880022238694380_2282719217183944886_n.jpg)
The be-all-and-end-all rule for all holiday hookups: it must come to an end. Either that, or one of you consider moving and face real life together, or spend the rest of your life in a long distance relationship. Desirable? We didn’t think so.
Do you have any holiday hookup rules to share, nomads?
