Explanation:
It's difficult to be sure without seeing how it is used in context.
Normally, a 'hookup' would refer to a physical meeting, so goes beyond 'rencontre' alone as used in this context. 'rendez-vous galant' seems hardly appropriate here! But I don't know if you can possibly use 'rencard' here?
'rencontre présentielle' or '...physique' might convey the idea, but seems to me wildly out of register here?

neutral  Tony M: Not really in this context: the 'hookup' is really the actions leading to the physical meeting, and which almost always connotes a casual, probably one-off sexual encounter
