Need some advice for dating this holiday season? Lea Haben is a relationship coach who claims this time of year is one of the best for singles.

That’s in part because there are so many holiday parties and social engagements that arise in the month of December, increasing your odd of finding someone special.

Haben has 5 tips for holiday dating:

1) Parties Galore: Attend all parties you are invited to and make sure that you go with your friends to their parties as well. You will have the chance to expand your social network and blind date opportunities at the same time. Go to all parties such as: Work, friends, family, church etc… Who knows Mr. Right could be waiting for you under the mistletoe!

2) Flash your smile: When you smile at people, you make them feel good by acknowledging their very existence. Men will approach you if they feel you are interested enough to acknowledge them. Smile and make eye contact for 4 seconds. By doing this, your smile conveys that you are friendly and open to conversation.

3) Look Your Best: Make your first impression a lasting impression. While everyone else is wearing the little black dress choose a beautiful jewel toned dress in either green, red, or blue. Make sure that the dress you wear makes you feel attractive. Their is nothing sexier than a woman who feels pretty. Tips to look for are flattering color, great fit and a style that flatters your body type. Remember look good and feel great!

4) Be Friendly and Outgoing: When you go out, please be warm and friendly. Body language is everything–don’t fold your arms, lean against the wall or hide in the kitchen. Stand front and center and introduce yourself to everyone. If you are to shy to do that on your own have the host or hostess introduce you to everyone. Put a smile on your face and think happy thoughts as people are naturally drawn to attractive happy people.

5) Keep Expectations Realistic: Be realistic with your expectations of any event you attend. You might meet some great new people, or not. But that doesn’t keep you from having a good time and making the most of what is available. Attitude is everything, make a point of enjoying every event regardless of the outcome. Happiness is a choice and your chances of meeting Mr. Right go up substantially if you are happy. If the party isn’t what you expected, enjoy the people who are there. Once again, you just never know who might be the connection to the partner of your dreams.
