So you can't drink Prosecco in Hyde park, and suddenly that hip rooftop bar seems less appealing, but there are still some amazing seasonal dates that as a london dating coach that I wouldn't want you to miss.
1. Winter Wonderland is not only a great date (fun fair - it's a classic right) but is also a surprisingly good place to meet new people over a mulled wine or two (just don't head on the Ferris wheel after...)
2. Picnics are out but indoors-nics are in. Invite your date over for picnic food by a roaring fire instead of having a Sunday roast because let's face it strawberries are far sexier than sirloin.
3. Go Ice Skating - I promise you don't need to be like Torvil & Dean to have fun helping each other around an ice rink. If you want proof of this (fact) my grandmother met my grandfather after he helped her up after a fall on the ice.
And for those of you who haven't met someone to share a mistletoe moment with yet get out there late night shopping and Christmas party hopping safe in the knowledge you won't be the only one who wants a crush in time for Christmas.
