Understatement of the century: dating is hard. And not because we don’t like being
alone, but because it can be an awkward process, especially when it’s done virtually. If we’ve learned anything from the last year and a half, it’s that pillow talk just isn’t as sexy through a Zoom screen. But what if we could make it easier — dare we say, fun again? What if we stripped away the inhibitions and nerves to rediscover the thrill of dating?
To keep it real, the holiday season is just more fun with someone new (or familiar) to snuggle up with, so we’re officially determined to put ourselves — our whole selves —
out there; the good, the bad, and everything in between. Whether you’re in search of a sincerely good gift for your long-time, long-distance lover, or need to brainstorm a third-date idea that gets your adrenaline pumping, our guide to holiday dating has you covered.
