I Like You… Let’s Talk in January

The holidays can be an awkward time to start dating someone new.  Some of my single friends are waiting out the holidays so they don’t have to deal with the pressure on themselves or others.  For instance…

Do you buy someone you have gone out with a few times a gift, and how much should you spend?

Do you invite that person to your company party, and if so, how do you introduce them?

At what point in a relationship do you visit each other’s families for the holidays?

Should you plan to spend New Year’s Eve with this person, or would you rather have the option to kiss someone else at midnight?

See, there can be a whole lot of relationship-defining situations thrown at you this time of year that may strain a fragile new connection.   I understand why many singles avoid dating during this time of year, but it certainly is possible to navigate these obstacles.

Do what feels right and just go with the flow.  Don’t try to rush things or pressure the other person to include you in their holidays.  Most importantly of all, relax and have fun.

Happy holidays, everyone!
