Naughty or Nice?
If you survived Thanksgiving and all those well-intentioned relatives asking about your dating life, congratulations! You cleared the first holiday without sinking into a funk about your lacking love life. Being single and dateless during the holidays doesn’t have to spell doom. For all of us who are single during the holidays, here are some tips on holidating:
Mingle: You know all those e-vites that are sitting in your inbox for holiday gatherings? Open them! Even if you don’t know who you want to take, just RSVP and go! The goal should not be to score phone numbers, though. Relax, be yourself, and laugh. When you aren’t focused on the numbers game, I think you are able to enjoy the people/experience more. Trust me. I’ve had the most fun at holiday parties without a date. I played the card games, sipped on yummy drinks, and grabbed random hot guys to stand under some mistletoe! (Yes, I have been known to carry my own. Don’t judge me.)
Venture out: It’s getting cold, the days are shorter, and the single people seem to disappear! This just means you need to be more creative and go where lots of people are gathered. Ice skating rinks, sporting events, bookstores, museums, or a cozy restaurant/cafe with comfy surroundings. Relaxed people are sexy. I bet you could strike up a conversation with interesting people who share similar interests.
What are other activities single people can do during the next few weeks? Lots of days off which means plenty of leisure time! What do you plan to do for fun during the holidays?
Do single people try to avoid meeting someone new because they don’t want to get caught up in that holiday trifecta: Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day?
Do you ever “relax” your dating standards just so you can get a snuggle buddy for the cold, winter nights? I have to admit that the thought of having a sweetie to curl up with in front of the fire is awfully tempting!
Is it wrong to do the “expiration” dating thing just for the holiday season? How does one even pull that off? Yes, this would fall in the naughty category, have you done it before?
What are the perks for being single during the holidays?

Morning, all. Since we’re here, might as well get into the holiday spirit with a little caroling. I’ll start us off:
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
A Presidential in a pear tree…

I’m here just about everyday… but if I don’t like the topic/conversation I just don’t participate that day… unlike some folks who find it necessary to complain.

@Swiss I was at Macys last nite..i dont like malls and rarely go but boy!,so many lovelies out there.
I wonder if the single guys take notice or they jus avoid the gerlz this time of the year coz of financial considerations…
I can understand…romancing a nice chic requires some bit of money and patience.

IMO If you have been seeing each other for less than 3 months you should not expect a gift nor be expected to give a gift.
