Holiday Season Love Online
Cheery activities with family, friends, and co-workers are just around the corner. If you do not have a love interest in your life, you may be worried about spending the holidays alone. Some say a couple of months is not enough time to get to know someone well enough to take them to the company Christmas party. Some are okay with going it alone, and still others are turning to the internet to find their love interest. Spending time with someone during the holidays can actually give you good insight into what a person is really like.
What Can You Tell About Someone
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.
Family & Friend Interaction- How will they act around the loved ones currently in your life if you take them along to a gathering? Will they interact with your family and friends or not participate in discussions or make small talk? If they are uncomfortable with those close to you, that should raise a red flag. Are they possessive? Or overly shy?
Being Reliable – - We all know how much time can be spent preparing for a party, especially for areas like the menu. 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? Do they have good judgement and taste in what they choose to wear? You don’t want a love interest who you cannot depend on.
Abuse of Substances – Having a few holiday drinks aside, but they may be using the holidays as an excuse – I doubt anyone reading this would want to spend their holidays, much less their life, with an addict.
The Joy of Giving – Knowing the person only a few months, how would you feel with the gift exchange issue? . Will you and your partner be on the same page with this? In my opinion, if you have enjoyed the time you’ve spent with one another, 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.
