The holidays add pressure for ladies to find love. Here are 10 signs the man who's kissing you under the mistletoe won't last into the new year.
It may surprise you to know that the busiest period in the matchmaking industry is the holiday season. That’s right, it’s not Valentine’s Day, and it’s not the summer either. Why is the holiday so busy for us love professionals? Well, if you ask me, it boils down to one word: Pressure.
At no other time of the year do our family members (and society) place as much pressure on us to be married or en route to the altar than during the holidays. When you arrive home and a certain finger is without a ring, even if you’re the most self-assured single woman, it’s easy to feel shamed and notice the disappointment doled out by family members.

Some women collapse under the pressure and make a tragic mistake — they settle. That’s right, that guy who has always been second best is thrown into the top spot against her better judgment.
How can you tell whether you’re settling for the holidays? Here are ten signs you might be missing.
