To help you find the right ‘lit’️ match this holiday season whether online or IRL, we will share some tips and tricks from our relationship expert, Dr. Chandni Tugnait, along with some witty ice-breakers to make your bios a little more enticing:

Don’t let the season rush you 

Sure, seeing adorable couples walking around like absolute #goals in matching, coordinated outfits can pull at your heartstrings to find the perfect +1 for your festive season too, but don’t let the season rush you in any way. If you’ve just started dating during this festive season, take your time to get to know your match and take it easy – its not like they will disappear at the end of the season or the year! Keep checking in with your own feelings to make sure you’re moving things at a pace you’re comfortable with.

Vibe check your match’s profiles with your friends 
Always, always! vibe check with friends, sure they can be picky but that’s only because they know you deserve the best! We all know that sometimes we need our friends to take off those rose-tinted glasses that make us blind to potential red flags. On the other hand, our friends may just be the push we need to shoot our shot with that crush. Share your match’s profile with your besties to make sure your match is bff approved this festive season!

Shine bright like a diamond 
When it comes to dating, first impressions count . Wear those boujee outfits you’ve been hiding away in your closet, yes that outfit! The one that makes you look chic, elegant, and everything you’ve ever dreamed of, the one that makes you feel like the main character. Also, it’s important to bring your best energy and enthusiasm to the occasion️. Lastly, don’t forget to your profile so those matches know you ARE in fact – drop dead gorgeous. Pick the colours that’ll enhance your personality and confidence and go be your best, baddest self!

Pick an activity you both like to do 
Meeting new people can be a bit awkward because you don’t know the other person really well. Indulge in activities you both like – playing Uno or Teen Patti , making cute DIY decorations or just go all out and dance with them like nobody’s watching. This will not only give you a chance to have some fun, but also to build a truly intimate connection with your date. So whether your vibe is a Diwali Mela or a Christmas Carnival – just having fun in each other’s company always makes for a successful first date.

Fire up your dating profile!
Above all else, remember to have fun . Work on your bio and transform it like it’s the climactic makeover scene from The Princess Diaries, and find your fiery match to make this Diwali extra special . In fact, here are some Ice-Breakers  for to get into Diwali dating mode:

·       Are you a balcony on Diwali? Because I don’t see any other reason for you to be so lit

·       Crackers don’t match the sparkles you can bring to my life 

·       All this Kaju-Katli and you’re still the snacc I want.

·       I can’t afford skechers, will you light up my world?

·       Girl are you Sita? Because you make all my 10 heads turn.

Festivals are all about positivity and excitement all around, so get ready to put yourself out there, make dhamakedar memories and find the perfect match to share those crackling vibes with.
