It’s that time of year in the US. Holiday parties and small talk about holiday plans and family. I have a hard enough time with small talk. Small talk with the woman is even more perplexing, because it seems to me that women want you to be fun and flirty as a friend but finding the right mix without going too far with the flirtiness or veering too far into creepiness, feels like rocket science to me.

So bros, how do you navigate social situations and office holiday parties when you work with a lot of women?
