Being single and on vacation is the perfect way to meet someone! The only problem is that you may not know the best way to strike up a conversation with a total stranger. No worries! We’ve got you covered when it comes to breaking the ice and meeting someone new. Check out these 5 totally casual and flirty ways to chat someone up when you’re on vacation!
“Do you have any recommendations for solo travelers?”
This simple question lets your potential love interest know that you’re traveling alone and it opens the door for a quick invite for them to join you!
“Where do the locals like to party?”
Spot someone cute while you’re checking into a hotel or while you’re renting a bike or surfboard? Use this opportunity as a way to ask them about the lowdown on all the best places to hangout. Even if you don’t spark up a romantic connection, you’ll get a one of a kind experience– and perhaps the chance to meet someone else!
Ask to Use a Nearby Outlet
Stuck at the airport for hours? Why not park yourself next to that hottie you’ve been eyeing and charge your phone at the same time? Meeting someone at the airport can be a bit intimidating. Asking to use an outlet in their vicinity is a little less intimidating and it gives you a reason to stick close to them!
“Will you take my picture?”
Asking a stranger to take your photo is probably the most natural and least obvious way to show someone that you’re interested in them while you’re on vacation. No one will think you’re hitting on them! Use this low-key method of flirting to strike your sexiest poses! Maybe they’ll ask for your Insta handle!
“Can you translate this for me?”
You’ll score adorable points with this one! If you’re not familiar with the language (or you just want to play up the “damsel in distress” card) asking a local or a fellow traveler to translate something for you will instantly give you an opportunity to strike up a conversation. People love helping other people! Don’t be shy.
