Dos and don'ts for the festive season

If you're in the early stages of dating, you'll want to make sure you follow our dos and don'ts for the festive season!

Do: make sure you both know where you stand

Christmas involves a lot of family and friends and you may want them to meet the important people in your life but make sure they're comfortable if you want to introduce them.

If you want to exchange presents, make sure you have a conversation about it first. If you haven't been dating long enough you might not know them well enough, or they might not feel comfortable with gifts. It's also worth discussing a price limit. All of this can help avoid embarrassment!

Don't: ignore them

Yes, Christmas is a very busy time for a lot of people but if you see your relationship going somewhere, ensure you make time for them during the festive period.

Further along the line, compromise with Christmas and whose family you spend time with. Alternate who you visit on Christmas day for example.

Do: watch your alcohol intake

There is more alcohol available at Christmas what with all the parties and gatherings. Your date doesn't want to have to hold your hair back or carry you home when you've had one too many, especially in the early stages of a relationship. Have a couple of drinks but pace yourself -there are plenty of opportunities for drinking!

Don't: crowd each other

You need space, especially when there are so many traditions and parties and family gatherings. You each might want to do your own thing sometimes, especially if it's family traditions you partake in every year. Don't pressure them to include you in everything, make sure you do your own thing as well.

Do: take advantage of all the great date ideas in winter

Ice skating, Christmas markets and cosy nights in! There are loads of date opportunities in the colder months that can be very romantic so make the most of them!

Merry Christmas from Chat2Date!
