1. Singles on Surviving the Holidays

2. The holiday season is upon you. This can be a challenging time for singles. Invitations to parties are flooding your mailbox. 3. Various television channels seem to devote their entire lineup with movies depicting Santa bringing single women their true love. 4. Jewelry stores are airing commercials showing husbands buying wives big shiny objects. 5. Food companies are playing mind games too by showing how much fun it is to bake cookies with children and create enormous feasts for family and friends. 6. Then there are the commercials showing you where to pick out the perfect ornament for your perfect tree. 7. All this can send your head spinning and make you feel a bit down in the dumps if you are single. You may find yourself feeling isolated and alone. 8. Oh and the final blow to your ego; lets not forget your email is being flooded with discount offers from Match.com, eHarmony, Senior Singles and more . 9. I have noticed this is the time of year that singles make dumb dating choices. 10. I dont want you to wake up in March with regrets. November through February are filled with events for couples. 11. No one wants to attend holiday parties alone. No one wants to spend New Years Eve, the Super Bowl, or Valentines Day alone. 12. I want you to take an honest look at my tips and see if you are guilty of committing any of them in the past. 13. 1. Remember: There is nothing wrong with being single during the holidays. It is better to be single than in a fake relationship. 2. Watch out for the person that only wants a date during the holidays. Ask about past relationships. It is ok to ask the person what they want do they just want a date for holiday parties or do they want a relationship. 3. Dont lower your standards during the holidays: Dont let holiday party invitations cause you to act desperate and settle for less than you deserve. 14. 4. Dont spend excessive amounts of money on a new date for Christmas presents. I actually recommend you dont buy each other gifts. 5. Keep your standards high. Dont compromise your values. 6. Pay attention to the little thing like what he or she isnt saying i.e. excessive drinking, selfish behavior, letting you pay for everything, complaining about child support etc.. Actions speak louder than words. 15. 7. Actively listen: Dont settle for the guy or gal that cant or wont say Im sorry or that wont communicate. 8. Keep your eyes open: Watch out for the person that blames you for his bad behavior. This is the person that turns the tables and makes it your fault. 9. It takes two people to make a relationship work. Dont be the only one working on it. What is your walk away point? It is ok to end a relationship during the holidays. 16. 10. Keep busy whether it is staying home alone reading or writing or being with friends no pity party allowedNow that you have reviewed the list and self reflected on past holiday relationships I want you to promise you will make wise choices when dating during the holidays.
