Holiday Shopping for Your Date

gift for your date It’s very common for “Holiday Hookups” to happen this time of year. There are company holiday parties, friends parties, and of course New Years Eve.

However, as soon as you start dating someone, you do face the gift giving dilemma.

  • Do you get them a gift?
  • How much do you spend?
  • What if they don’t give you a gift back?
  • Will they feel pressured?

It’s enough to make your head hurt.

So much depends on several factors, too many variables for me to cover in one blog article. However, here are some things to ask yourself and some rules of thumb you can use to help ensure you don’t become a Grinch.

Be True to Yourself

image One of the best things I’ve experienced since I got married (online dating success story right here!) is that for the first relationship in my life, I can be myself.

This is huge! So many women remake themselves for every man they meet, conforming to his expectations of what a girlfriend/lover/wife should be. I did that for years, whether single or married, and looking back, I realize that not only did I betray myself, but I also set myself up for bad/toxic/doomed relationships.
