Holiday Ideas From Maureen Tara Nelson Private Matchmaking, Inc.

                                            Happy Holidays 2011

If you are single and are ready to meet someone special for the holidays, you will want to read this…

Maureen Tara Nelson Private Matchmaking Inc. would like to wish every "single person" in Levittown a very happy and healthy holiday season. 

We put together some Do’s and Don’ts to help you find someone compatible to yourself by yourself this holiday season.  We hope you find this helpful.  However, as I always recommend, if you are trying to find the right person and it takes you more than six months of trying on your own, then it’s time to call us, and we will do the “work” for you…

We have also put together some great gift ideas for the holidays once you find someone this holiday season (or if you have found someone already, some gift suggestions depending on how long you’ve been dating).  We hope this helps keep the art of gift giving fun for you, and eliminates any stress in finding the appropriate gift for your special someone!  (This happens to be the most common question I get asked by men around the holidays in my singles advice column in The Home & Away Newspaper.)

Do’s

• Tell everyone you know you are looking for a relationship and ask them if they know someone who shares similar interests with you.
• Look and feel your best inside and outside.  If you know you need to improve something about yourself, now is the time to make those changes.
• Get yourself out there!  Accept every holiday party invitation, or any invitation that gets you out of the house and has the possibility to meet someone.
• Love yourself!  The positive energy will show.  Remember, if you don’t love yourself, how can anyone love you?
• Keep a smile on your face always!  A smile is free and is the best way to show someone that you are approachable.  If you “have a wall up” get it down; it will show.  Not only will a smile make you feel good, but it will make everyone you smile at feel good as well. 
• When meeting someone new, make yourself find five great things about the person.  It will force you to be open minded and positive.

Don'ts

• Let go of any negativity this holiday season. 

• When you meet someone new, don’t look to find something wrong with them; this is a very common mistake all singles make.

Married:

• Guys, you should know by now what your wife would like.  However, if you do need help, email me at mtnmatchmaking@aol.com.  I will be happy to help you!

* Since I only receive questions from guys asking for help in gift giving during the holidays, I am assuming, as I do every year, that ladies don’t need any help in the gift-giving department.  However, if you are a female and would like some gift-giving suggestions for your man, simply email me at mtnmatchmaking@aol.com and I will answer you personally.
