Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I love Christmas and have decorated my small house and yard to the hilt. I just met a new guy and he thinks Christmas is “ridiculous.” We had been getting along really well and having fun, but then I brought him over for what was supposed to be the inaugural ball on my new bed. He mocked everything I had worked so hard to do. I have coloured lights on the bed and a pretty tree with big pine bows with giant hand-tied red ribbons on them, and all he could do was make fun of me.
I felt my sexual desire for him disappearing over dinner. By the time we were in the bedroom and he put his hand in an intimate place, I was so turned off I told him to get out. He looked at me in disbelief, got dressed and slammed the door on the way out. Since then, he has been calling and trying to be really nice. He has never said he’s sorry because he isn’t. He thinks I am silly and I think he’s a grinch, but decent men are hard to find.
Am I stupid to run him off like this, just because he’s a grinch about Christmas?
— Festive Elf, North End
Dear Festive: Is he worth your time, girlfriend? If you got mixed up with this grinch in a big way, such as living together or getting married, there would be many Christmases to come that would be hobbled by him. Should you have children, you couldn’t enjoy Christmas festivities with them freely with his sneering.
Why not look for a guy who loves the fun and joins in? Now is the perfect season to find one, if you stop wasting time with this guy’s calls. Good partnerships should expand a relationship, not limit it. Find a partner who brings more joy into your life, welcomes your friends, co-workers and extended family, and proudly introduces you to everybody he or she knows.
Think of this relationship with a grinch as some fireworks that started off with a sizzle, flew up part-way, and then sputtered out and fell to the ground.
