It all depends upon what you are really looking for. If you are looking for a one nighter it might be ok.. Or will it? Men and women are wired differently.

This chemical counteracts the Oxytocin and makes men want to leave the nest. Hmm no wonder they are not good cuddlers.

hook ups are like calling Tow Pro to get at your paid parking spot it is ok to remove an unwanted car from a paid for spot just remember that in the morning everyone wants to know what happened to their car. leave the hook ups for the professional.
Last Christmas, I met a girl and ended moving to another state to be with her. (Please check out my hub for the details) It didn't work out there and now I'm back in Vegas, but I'm visiting her for Thanksgiving. I believe in the holiday hookup.
Sometimes romance blooms from too much alcohol. I had a holiday hook-up a long time ago, but I'd rather not discuss what happened. Lets just say when I was sober she wasn't very attractive.
You outlined some great advice here, Ms Chievous. I have had two holiday hook ups and one went sour and the other? Sweet. I guess that's a wash! In either case, both make for some problems down the road and I wouldn't recommend it as it can compromise the atmosphere at work, especially if one partner is the other's boss!
Great hub!
Yes, once my holiday hook up turned into pleasant relationship that lasted for some months. Frankly speaking, I don't regret that it was in my life.
Nice hub!! ;)

I know this is a fringe idea for many but the distinction made here is what is safe, what is real, what may lead to trouble. Consider hooking up with another woman, friends, able to trust each other and well ok I know, but try making love to a close female friend. You might find it a magical new beginning. Keep it a secret - its ok. Alright maybe its just me but .........
