Another perfect date for the holiday season, decorating the tree can be a fun intimate way to spend time together. Decorate A Christmas Tree Together If you are dating someone seriously or engaged in a long-term relationship, decorating a Christmas tree is an adorable romantic idea. It's romantic because it involves spending quality time together doing something both of you will enjoy. The act of choosing and placing ornaments on the tree can become symbolic of your dating life together as well as more general concepts like trust, love and respect that should be part of any healthy relationship. Finding your Christmas Tree If you don't already have one, purchase a small artificial Christmas tree (5 feet tall is sufficient) with lights already built in if possible. If you have a live tree, make sure it is fresh and healthy looking. Decorating a living Christmas tree can be dangerous due to dropping needles etc. If you are dating an experienced home decorator, this could become a fun date in itself where you go from store to store or web site to find the perfect ornaments for your new family heirloom. For everyone else, purchasing a pre-decorated artificial tree will save time and money while allowing you to get right down to dating without delay. Decorating Your Tree If both of you are going out of your way by going on a special dating adventure, this should definitely involve shared creation/construction of the ornaments themselves. Buy some inexpensive supplies at your local arts and crafts store (or online) like construction paper, glitter glue, pipe cleaners, ribbons etc. If you are dating an artist or other creative type, they should enjoy this dating activity tremendously. However even the most un-creative people can still have fun with this dating activity by going out to a bulk retail store and purchasing pre-made decorations that they both agree on. These stores usually only carry a few types of generic decorations in a limited color palette, but if you choose your colors carefully it definitely won't ruin the mood. Decorate the Tree Together Once you have collected all your supplies together or purchased them from a retail outlet, begin decorating the tree together. Of course there really is no wrong way to do this, but dating experts consider this dating activity a perfect opportunity to talk with one another on topics that won't come up during everyday dating conversations. Sit back and enjoy the time together while you are placing your decorations on the tree. This dating activity is more about being close than it is about decorating! This dating activity can of course be modified by adding ornaments made by you both at different times of the year if possible. If you don't have any of these homemade ornaments, dating experts recommend filling in holes where there are none with ones purchased from an arts and crafts store. This dating idea is great for young couples still living together or even older couples who are more experienced in life already. It's perfect for dating after dating, no dating experience, dating after divorce or dating for seniors!*** Chapter 8 The Aftermath. Resignation and Revenge. Some Things Never Change. Although she didn't know what Victoria was thinking, this news confused her. She wanted to wait out the rest of the contract to see where things went with James, but she didn't understand how dating someone else would be good for his career as a dating coach who believed in waiting six months before sleeping with anyone. Maybe he was so horny that he forced himself on her because he couldn't bear staying celibate anymore? Was it possible that she had been raped or sexually harassed by dating advice ghostwriter James Atkins? Would the dating company take any action against him for this? Or maybe nothing happened and he just played dumb to let her down easy? She felt nauseous and tried to distract herself from thinking about dating advice columnist James Atkins any further, by looking at a dating tips blog post. It was entitled "How To Seduce Men In The Club". In the middle of reading it, she got an email notification on her phone from datingonline@love-sites.com. She swiped across the screen to reveal a message from Chip Royce: "Hey there! I saw you liked my profile picture yesterday so I thought I'd give this dating website a try haha." It didn't occur to Paige that dating tips blogger Chip Royce also had a dating profile with the dating company that matched up people with their mutual interests in dating advice and dating, and that dating coach James Atkins must have written it for him. # James Atkins stood in his office at home, staring at dating advice blogger Chip Royce's dating profile on his computer screen, when he got an email notification from datingonline@love-sites.com: "I saw you liked my recent dating website blog post yesterday so I thought I'd give this dating site a try haha." It was from dating expert Paige Brandon. He smiled and clicked the link to her dating site profile, where she had just started writing a post entitled "Decorate A Christmas Tree Together". James stared in astonishment as he read it over again. There was no doubt about it—it was definitely Victoria's handwriting. The words "window", "glass", "balcony railings" and dating tips blogger Chip Royce's dating profile name were all there. James' dating tips blog was back under his control, he knew that much. Whatever Victoria was up to, it had gone way too far, time for some payback! There was nothing more to be done at work that day—he hadn't even made an appearance at the dating company yet since returning from Paige Brandon's house yesterday. He typed out a quick email reply to her: "Hi! That sounds like fun See you there!" Then added in parentheses "(PS—you mentioned glass balcony rails in your dating website blog article haha)" He smiled as he clicked "send". There was no dating online dating company to monitor his computer at home. They had also implemented a dating site telephone monitoring policy whenever he was dating, which made him furious because it meant all the dating advice from Victoria would be limited to his dating website blog posts, unless he printed them out and took photos of himself holding up the printouts with what she wrote on them so that they could appear in his next dating blog post. James logged into datingpro@love-sites.com and went back to checking the dating ads again before logging off for the night. "Goodnight everyone!" He said experimentally as he clicked "logoff". As soon as he saw that phrase show up on every dating profile's ad feed, James knew exactly what Victoria
