The holidays are no time to be sitting at home swiping or winking. Get out there!
2. People are more relationship ready
As the holidays approach people tend to take stock of their lives and become more interested in sharing with someone and coupling off. Between watching endless romantic holiday movies and wanting to share a New Year’s kiss, people are more motivated to be dating during the holidays. The holidays can make people feel more serious about finding love.

4. You are more relaxed and open-minded
Since the holidays come with their own charm it helps put you in the mood for dating during the holidays. During the rest of the year, a lot of people will not give someone a chance if they are not overly attracted to them. As it gets closer to winter, and especially during the holiday season, people tend to become more open and more willing to go out and date people they otherwise wouldn’t.
5. It’s easier to approach someone
During this time of the year, many people are more vulnerable because they do not want to spend the holidays alone.

So keep this in mind about how people are feeling during the holiday season, and start being a little more friendly.
Dating isn’t easy during any time of the year, so make sure to know your worth, set your intentions, stay true to your values, and most importantly, remember to take care of yourself. This is supposed to be a fun process, not a chore! Keep that in the back of your mind as you go forth and conquer the territories of love and sex.
