Baby, All I Want for Christmas is You

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Monday, 20 December 2010 00:00

Does Christmas have you singing the blues?  Do you hate feeling alone at this time of year?  Is there someone you think about and wonder what it would be like if you were still together?  Were you young, stupid, and insecure… and sent him (or her) away because you didn’t know what you were doing?  It happens.

Instead of looking at what you don’t have this season, try looking for what you learned from past relationships…and let yourself be wiser, kinder, and more perceptive.  Now is a good time to get ready for the gorgeous love that is out there waiting.  You can discover it and you do deserve it, but before you can find that person —you might try unwrapping, discovering, and appreciating the gift that is you.  Christmas would be a good time to do it.

Does He Love You?

Have you met someone you’re crazy about?  Are you wondering if this person feels the same way about you?  If he hasn’t spoken the “L” word yet, do you know the signs to look for before you invest anymore time thinking about where this relationship is going?

Many people think that chemistry is love.  Though it is an important ingredient to the mix, most daters are amazed at how fast those heady feelings disappear if other qualities are not present.  Being physically attracted to each other is important—but it doesn’t necessarily mean love exists.

Here are some behaviors that exhibit how he feels about you.  Keep in mind that these are in general, and this information assumes that your guy is not: addicted, abusive, married, living with someone, or a player.   Once you are clear about those facts, here are the nine signs that speak louder than words:

When You’re Alone on Thanksgiving

When I was single and my children were little, they often spent Thanksgiving with their father’s family.  As much as I wanted them to do that, and for them to know their families and their roots, I was clueless about how to take care of myself.  I made a large calendar and pinned it to the wall, crossing off the days until they returned.  The depth of my despair at being alone on the holidays was pitiful.

If I could coach the girl I was then, here is what I would tell her.
