It’s December, which means the world is twinkling with lights, the scent of pine and wood fireplaces in the air. It’s no surprise people call this the beginning of “cuffing season”, because it seems like lovey couples are EVERYWHERE – holding hands and staring into each others eyes.

At OnlineBootyCall, we don’t exactly buy into the whole holiday season relationship thing. We love being single – and enjoy being independent all season long… going on snowboarding trips, holiday parties, and spending time with family without the added stress of shopping for “significant other” gifts and having Meet the Parents moments.

But that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy going on dates and hooking up in this most cuddly of months! Here are a few tips for casual online dating in December:

1. Make it clear what you’re looking for: Let’s be honest, some folks on dating sites this time of year are looking for someone to bring home to Mom and Dad. Be up front and honest if you’re just looking for NSA hookups or a casual friends with benefits arrangement.
2. Choose dates that are fun, casual, and not too high-pressure. Romantic dinners and ice skating hand in hand should be left to the couples who are going to fight the whole way home. Instead, grab a drink at a Christmas-themed trivia night, or just hang at home with a bottle of wine and a funny holiday movie like Christmas Vacation. (NOT a romantic Christmas movie like Love, Actually. I repeat – NOT a romantic movie!)
3. Pick a dating site that doesn’t bait members with promises of forever. OnlineBootyCall.com is the #1 casual dating site on the web because we are straight-forward and don’t play games about what we offer – the chance to meet like-minded singles looking for low-pressure dates and steamy hookups. Nothing more – unless it happens naturally (like it has for MANY of our members!).
4. No gifts allowed! One of the benefits of staying single this time of year is you don’t have to splash down a bunch of cash on a gift that someone may end up hating or throwing away if you end up breaking up! Make it clear that you don’t exchange gifts when you’re single – so you don’t end up receiving a gift you have no intention of reciprocating.
5. Plan your New Years accordingly. The crazy thing about this time of year is that the holidays just pile up one after another. It was JUST Thanksgiving… and now all of a sudden we’re weeks from Christmas and BAM – New Years. How do you want to spend your New Years? Toasting with a sexy single you met at Club OBC? Or searching for someone new in the crowd? It’s up to you – though we like to line up a few options ahead of time ;)
