Don't Talk Politics

Celebrate the holidays with food, gifts, and fun but don’t talk politics on dates.

Political discussions are more intense than they have been in years. With the country divided, a war on, a president that is either loved or hated, political discussions are more dangerous to a new relationship than they ever have been. Just 15 years ago people beginning to date didn’t concern themselves with the political affiliation of their dates. But these days politics is a hot button for many people and it can sink a new relationship faster than the iceberg did the Titanic. Yes, your heart will go on…but you may miss out on a great person just because you see things a little differently.

Serious ideological discussion are best left to later in a relationships when mutual respect and friendship will help you keep it all in perspective. Enjoy the season but skip the debate.
