It’s been an awesome two or three months since meeting the new man in your life. It seems as if you haven’t been this happy in a long time. You and the new boo, are spending time together and consistently talking and texting throughout the day. Things are great! Holiday season is here and you wonder, “Is he going to have me around for any of these special days?”

Christmas and New Years Eve are just around the corner. You know that you want to see him at least one of these days, but with it still being a new situation (you may not even be an official couple just yet), what do you do? Do you make your own plans? Do you ask him? Are you expecting him to be around?
The best way to handle this situation is to ask and not assume. He may be nervous about asking you; or he may surprise you and just ask. If he does not, ask him, but give him the option. Do not pressure him. It is still new for the both of you—it doesn’t make either of you obligated. Chances are, the both of you will probably be with your families and close friends. However, you can still see each other earlier or later in the day. Do not be offended if he chooses to be with his family on Christmas instead. He may not feel comfortable being around your family so soon or may not be ready to bring you around his just yet. New Years Eve is always an option; and chances are that is the day he will want to be with you. That is always a plus because, who doesn’t want to ring in the new year with new potential love on the horizon?
With this new person in your life, it may not be “that serious,” at the moment. Some people take the holidays as a big deal and will not bring a new love around, no matter how promising it may seem. Some see the holidays as family and close friends time only. It doesn’t always mean he has someone else, and it doesn’t mean that he isn’t that into you. It’s only been a couple of months—enjoy the ride! If it’s meant, a budding relationship will soon bloom.
