Looking for Love Online During the Holidays
The holiday festivities are almost upon us. If you are not with someone, you may be thinking about finding someone to enjoy your holiday time with. Some may turn to internet dating as a way to advance the process of finding a special love interest. Some people may be judgmental in saying that a few months is not long enough to be bringing someone to the company Christmas party, but, like anything else, you must decide what is right for you! Spending time with someone during the holidays can actually give you good insight into what a person is really like
How the Holidays Can Help You Learn
How They Respond to Children – How does your interest act around the excitement of children during the holidays? This often indicates whether the person likes children and is willing to interact with them.
How Do They Interact With Family & Friends?- Will they be pleasant around your family and friends if you take them to a get together? Do they interact? Bring wine or other small gift for the hostess?? You can tell a lot about people by watching them interact. If they seem jealous, that is a red flag, for instance.
How Reliable Are They? – Holiday party menus take a lot of time to prepare, and hosts need an idea of how many people will be attending. On top of this there are other considerations: Do you have to purchase special evening wear? Hire a sitter? Can you count on the person who is supposed to go with you to show up and in a timely manner? Will they show good judgment by dressing appropriately? Not being able to count on your partner is a major deal breaker to many people!
Alcohol & Drugs – Enjoying a few cocktails aside, but they may be using the holidays as an excuse – You don’t want to spend the holidays dealing with an addict, much less your life!
Gift Exchange – You may have only known this person a few months, how would you feel with the gift exchange issue? . Would you have this figured out between the two of you beforehand? In my opinion, if you’ve been finding joy in the person’s company, there is nothing wrong with presenting the other person with a small token, nothing major – but it is the season of giving!. Which brings us to our next point…
Spending During a Recession – There is currently a recession, and the holidays are not going to make that go away. Nevertheless, people still want to enjoy the holidays, but will scale back spending on celebrations. Will your partner be ok without splurging?? Are they empathetic to others? Maybe you volunteer your time at a shelter or kitchen – would they help out??
Put Any Heightened Expectations Aside
Don’t lose site of the fact that these ARE the holidays, a time of added stress. Truthfully, many are actually depressed during this season. Your partner could have a lot on their plate. So don’t be depending your love interest to keep you happy and joyful all season.
