It’s scientifically proven."
Holiday rom-coms tend to be formulaic all checking off the same list of cliches.
Could this guide to finding love really work?
We think the answer is yes … kind of.
For some of us, that’s the kind of specificity we need in our dating life.
And, there may actually be something to these steps for someone who’s looking for love.
The first step is: “Take to heart.”
She’d prefer to write her article without the work of actually looking for romance.
And, this is a good first step; cynicism in dating only makes things more difficult.
For the second step, it’s time to “meet someone out of your comfort zone.”
For this one, Nora tries some new activities to meet people.
This can also mean giving a shot to someone who might not be your preferred pop in.
This step is a necessary one.
It’s tough out there in the world of dating.
Returning to the dating game when something doesn’t work out as you imagined is key.
Step four requires that you “allow for some self-reflection.”
Recognizing this can help you reap more benefits from the whole process.
The fifth step is to “have a little fun.”
Dating should be fun, and putting too much pressure on yourself and your dates can make things backfire.
Try your best to relinquish expectations and enjoy the moment when possible.
Step six asks us to “get vulnerable.”
This is necessary throughout the dating experience especially when you’ve met someone you like.
Really getting to know someone is the only way to determine if it’s a good match.
Once you’re confident, it’s time for step nine: “Face your feelings.”
Examine how this person and potential relationship really makes you feel.
Nora is reluctant about the falling-in-love-by-the-holidays process, and expressing her feelings is no exception.
When trying to fall in love by the holidays, this mantra is a great one.
For Nora, staying open helped her find love.
