I’m so excited to announce, THE HOLIDATES SERIES!!! Some amazing author friends of mine are joining me for a collab that has been in the works since last year. I wasn’t a resolution kind of guy, but if I was, I’d vow to convince Lexi to be mine forever. She agreed, but she didn’t know I planned to have her all the days in between. I wasn’t ready to be done, so I bit the bullet and asked her to be my New Year’s Eve holidate, too. When bad weather ruined our chance to go home and end the date, I was happy about it. Except with her, I wasn’t just surviving-I was actually enjoying myself. So when a dating app matched me with Alexis, we were the perfect couple, blissful in our “for now” arrangement. I never met a woman who didn’t want a long-term commitment. And I wouldn’t break it.unless that’s what he wanted, too. Until I realized I wanted to share more than one night. We were snowed in and had to share a bed. No future, no heartbreak, no getting along for long periods of time. Of course, I forgot that relationships were simple when there was nothing on the line. I tested it out on myself and my holidate turned out better than expected-nice, likeable, easy to be with. So, I developed the Holidates app to help people like me who just needed a date to bring home to their families during the holidays. My family couldn’t understand the concept. I was an independent woman and handled everything on my own, no man necessary.

What happens when you rent a date for the holiday, but a phone app matches you to your forever-plus-one?Ĭommitment wasn’t a priority. He’s a hot bar owner with no desire to settle down. She’s a curvy, tech-savvy project developer that hates commitment.
