Simple reminders to keep in mind while you date over the holidays\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The holiday season can be an exciting and overwhelming time. And if you\u2019re dating, sometimes it can get a little confusing knowing what you should or shouldn\u2019t do. If you are worried you might take a misstep while dating during the holidays, here are a few guidelines to support your holiday dating:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t feel pressured to include them in your family plans.\u00a0<\/strong>Inviting a date to meet your family is something you should do when you\u2019re ready for it, not because the holidays create an added layer of pressure. Invite them in if you are ready to take the next step and have been wanting to introduce them to your family for a while.<\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t go overboard on gifts.<\/strong> Have you ever heard of the term love bombing? It\u2019s an attempt to influence a person by going overboard with attention, affection and gifts. Make sure you and the individual you\u2019re dating establish if gifts are appropriate. It\u2019s always nice to start with something small and fun that lets them know you\u2019ve been listening to what they like.<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t settle for someone because it\u2019s the holidays.\u00a0<\/strong>While it\u2019s tempting to have someone to cuddle up with by the fire. Cuddling should not take priority over compatibility, honesty and trust. Make sure you are dating intentionally, not for convenience.<\/li>\n
  4. Take it easy on the alcohol.\u00a0<\/strong>While the rum and egg nog might be flowing, or the midnight champagne may make an appearance, take it easy on the booze. According to a 2014 study by Plenty of Fish, 48.8 percent of singles reported consuming two to three drinks on a first date. If you don\u2019t drink, you might wonder when a good time to bring this up is. The best time to tell someone you\u2019re dating that you don\u2019t drink is as soon as the conversation about alcohol comes up naturally.<\/li>\n
  5. Don\u2019t stop dating.\u00a0<\/strong>If you are genuine in your search for love, the holidays can be a great time to date. Fun events, local things happening in your town, and opportunities to meet people who want to embrace the holiday spirit. Make sure you don\u2019t put too much pressure on finding someone by the end of the year. This kind of pressure can increase your dating anxiety, so move slowly, enjoy the process and don\u2019t get caught up in the timing of meeting someone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
