Hot take: The holidays are actually the best time to be single. Between holiday parties, so many events, and everyone feeling merry, there are SO many opportunities to meet new people, reconnect with friends, and just enjoy December. We're discussing some of our favorite ideas for friend group activities, dates (early on or with a partner) and masturdates (i.e dates you can do on your own). We also talk about how to motivate yourself when you're not feeling festive and what to do if you don't have a network/ friends in your area. Enjoy! Got a dating question you need answered?
