One of the nice things about a big family dinner is that there are a lot of people around to break the ice. If you’re thinking about introducing your date at a family function or holiday meal, ask how they feel about the timing? Will it make them uncomfortable to the point they can’t enjoy themselves? Or, do they love the idea of being included in such an intimate event? If the person you are dating has children, they may ask if it is okay to bring them along. If you agree, make sure that your family knows that you’ll have more than one guest accompanying you this year.
