Ah, to be young and in love. No, wait... More like, to be young and have choices! When you're single and on the prowl, there's nothing like an exotic destination to inspire you to get a little carried away.

Of course, there are also some destinations that won't have you feeling the love, or anything other than disgust, really. Winding up in the wrong place for pursuing a fling means lots of awkward socializing and being the third wheel.

Instead of taking your chances or hoping for a near-home romance, check out these ten exotic spots that are ideal for indulging in a brief romance. Of course, also be wary of the other ten places singletons should totally avoid when they're uncoupled, and not looking to put a ring on it.

20 Find A Fling: New York, New York, Baby

There are millions of people in the Big Apple, so how is it possible that you couldn't find someone to match with (at least short term)? So download Tinder and whatever other dating apps you want, and get to swiping.

19 Singletons Avoid: The City Of Love Itself

Going to Paris is totally a couple's thing, and most people don't go there thinking they'll find a casual relationship. Nope, unless you're open to feeling starry-eyed with a stranger, forget about visiting Paris on your next solo vacay.

18 Find A Fling: It's All In Rio

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is home to the vibrant Carnival celebrations in March, but year-round, there's still a party happening. And you know what parties mean! Opportunities to meet a cute semi-significant other. Don't forget the feathers and glitter!

17 Singletons Avoid: Venice, For More Reasons Than One

We get that Venice is having some climate and flooding issues right now. But even if it was dry, you wouldn't want to visit without a long-term romantic partner on your arm. After all, Venetian gondola rides are all about romance, not short-term "friendships."

16 Find A Fling: Buenos Aires, For The Tango

If you love dancing, you're bound to find a like-minded partner for the tango and whatever else in Buenos Aires. From rich wine to even richer culture, there's plenty to enjoy here, whoever your partner winds up being.

15 Singletons Avoid: Cruises Of All Kinds

First of all, it's mostly older folks who go on cruises. Strike number one. Second, you're unlikely to find any uncoupled people (your own age or otherwise). Strike two. And finally, if something goes wrong, you literally can't escape one another until you reach port... Strike three, cruises are nixed.

14 Find A Fling: Miami Is The Hot Spot

If today's rappers are to be believed, Miami is the spot to be for bikinis and adult beverages and beach scenes. From Flo Rida to Pitbull, everyone talks about how the most gorgeous women (and let's be honest, the guys too) are here, so what have you got to lose?

13 Singletons Avoid: Aspen... And Anywhere Else Snowy

Yes, we know cute celeb couples frolic here, and that's part of the problem. Colorado is picturesque and fun, sure, but whatever season you visit in, you're sure to find couples skiing, hiking, and just generally enjoying each other's company. Pass!

12 Find A Fling: Start Grooving In Jamaica

Whether you're too young for How Stella Got Her Groove Back or not, you'll recognize the appeal of meeting a Jamaican stranger in this sunny destination. Beaches, beverages, and exotic accents are super alluring.

11 Singletons Avoid: Anywhere In Hawaii

Hawaii is another acceptably exotic location that couples gravitate to. That, and lots of families smothered in sunscreen and decked in many layers of leis. It's too much tourism and not enough real people to connect with if you know what we mean.

10 Find A Fling: Sin City, Duh

I mean, it's all in the city's tagline, right? What happens in Vegas stays there, including the fling you don't want to bring home to mom or dad. Of course, you may also find some drama here, since Vegas is also a bachelor/ette destination for the ages... Tread carefully!

9 Singletons Avoid: Disneyland, Whether LA Or Other Cities

Disneyland is a family- and cute couple-centric vacation destination. No matter where you go, whether the Anaheim location or in another country, most couples are wearing matching mouse ears and sharing churros. Not exactly fun fling vibes.

8 Find A Fling: Anywhere Else In Los Angeles

Along with Mickey and Minnie and their wedded (?) bliss, Los Angeles is also home to plenty of beaches and lots of travelers. You're bound to meet somebody for a casual get-together while adventuring in LA. We hear the art scene is happening, too, which qualifies LA as certifiably exotic.

7 Singletons Avoid: Honeymoon Hotspot Bali

Bali tops every newlywed couple's list of romantic honeymoon destinations. And while that's great for them, it's not great for singletons, whether you're on the prowl or not. Everyone's sunburned and wearing a wedding band, so stay away.

6 Find A Fling: Ibiza, Because Anything Can Happen There

Ibiza, in the Mediterranean Sea, is an exotic location that hosts plenty of epic parties and all-nighters. It's been sung about, Instagrammed to death, and it's the perfect place for near-anonymous schmoozing. Of course, things can get a little crazy, too, so be safe!

5 Singletons Avoid: Athens, Because History

Athens, Greece is full of culture, art, and history, but it's another one of those places where people are too cerebral and not enough fun-loving. By that, we mean lots of mature travelers and people who aren't necessarily there for having fun.

4 Find A Fling: There Are Plenty Of Hearts In Havana

I mean, Camila Cabello really said it best when she talked about leaving a guy behind in Havana. Not the heart stuff, but the part about spending a brief time together... Anyway, Havana sounds like an excellent place to explore and enjoy tropical weather and meet cute guys who have accents like Pitbull.

3 Singletons Avoid: India Isn't Known For Flings

While it has some notable attractions, India isn't a place where many people go for nightlife or socializing of any sort. They might enjoy the architecture or the food, but that's about it. Plus, the fast-paced lifestyle (good luck in traffic) isn't really suited to catching anyone's eye.

2 Find A Fling: Amsterdam Is Known For Party Culture

Amsterdam has a reputation for its nightlife, and there are tons of young people clubbing all night long. If you're hoping to meet someone (or a few someones over a longer trip), this is probably one of the best places to visit.

1 Singletons Avoid: Apart From Safety Concerns, Afghanistan's Not A Hot Travel Spot

While it's arguably unsafe to travel to Afghanistan, to begin with, it's especially a terrible idea for single people, whether guys or gals. Women, especially, should be aware of cultural customs, including things like ladies not traveling solo. In short, not a good way to find a fling, but a good way to get yourself hurt or in trouble if you're not careful.
