Make Sure You’re on the Same Page from the Start
If you only want a fling, make sure to tell him that. You don't want him to assume that you're looking for a real relationship, and then disappoint him when you fly back home and never even give him your phone number. That's why you should tell him that you're only looking for something casual from the start. That way, he won't be caught off-guard when you leave.
Only Deal with Right Type of Men
Since you're only looking for a fling, you might be tempted to go after the type of guy who's used to having flings. However, it might be better for you to find someone who normally doesn't sleep around. Otherwise, he might be sleeping with you and three other girls at the same time, which increases your risk of getting an STD.
Keep Emotion out of It
If you fall for men whenever they give you the slightest bit of attention, then you probably shouldn't think about having a fling. You should only try it if you know you're going to be able to handle it. That means you need to be able to separate your emotions from your physical desires. If you can't do that, then save yourself for a real relationship.
Talk to Multiple Men at Once
If you get hung up on one guy, you might develop actual feelings for him. That's why you should play the field. Get close to multiple men. That way, you won't be heartbroken when one doesn't return your calls, because you'll have someone else to hang out with instead.
Tell Your Friends Where You're Going
The only thing worse than having your heart broken is having your bones broken. You don't want to go to a stranger's apartment without telling your friends where you're going, because you could end up in danger. Make sure they know where you are at all times, and that they call you to check in on you.

Find Someone Far Away from Home
You probably shouldn't have a fling with the boy that lives next door to you. If you do, then you're always going to be reminded of it each time you see him. However, if you have a fling on vacation with someone who lives miles away from you, you won't risk running into him again in the future. Once you part ways, you'll be over for good.
Leave when You Develop Feelings
If you develop feelings for him, but he's made it clear that he's not looking for a relationship, then you need to cut contact with him immediately. If you keep your fling going, you're only going to end up with a broken heart. It's better to end things with him before you fall even harder for him.
If you follow these tips, then you shouldn't end up with a shattered heart. Have you ever had a spring fling before?
