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?

I’m talking bout giving (nonsexual-nonromantic) gifts during the holiday when you’ve just met the person…in response to EPO/DK doling out $25-20 gold and Raqi mentioning that gifts shouldn’t be expected that early on in the relationship.
Why are you so nasty????

Greetings and salutations, my fellow bootleg bloggers.
What’s on my mind this morning? Confessing, purging, evaluating and planning.
Confessing – Hi, My name is SexyCool and I am a semi-hoarder. I had copies of all my home phone bills from 2000 to when I paperless about two years ago, a speeding ticket that I got when I was a freshman and college and tardy excuses from the principal’s office when I was in the 10th grade.
Purging – For the last week, I’ve been cleaning my office at work and my storage bins in the second bedroom of my apartment. I’ve been a shredding, garbage bag toting nutbucket. Determined not to carry emotional baggage, old payroll files, useless documents or 13 year old letters from my ex-husband into the new year.
Evaluating – Again giving consideration to what it is that I need to live my fullest life. Evaluating my emotional, physical, financial and material needs.
Planning to make 2010 an even better year than 2009.
I’m amazingly, awesomely and wonderfully blessed!!! I am finally feeling like Christmas; so, hell yeah, I’m celebrating, bytches!!!

Sessy Cool – I have a confession but I made a decision to never talk about it again and to be proactive about cutting people off at the path before they can even get to my goats..
2010 is my year.. Watch. Im gonna definitely let my nutz hang next year.. Im calling it the year of the Traveling Circus.. Because Im getting back on my continent tours and every where I go its gonna be a like the circus came to town.. Fun and goodtimes abound.. Working on becoming the dude from the Dos Equis Commercials..

Infamous, For instance…
You are a guy that likes to dress nice when we go out and you also like to watch TV. Would you rather get a nice sports blazer or a collection of your favorite movie series?
One of those in addition to the electronic weather forecaster that I got him.
I have given some really awesome and unique gifts in the past. I am running out of ideas.

Raqi: I know you asked DK but does he wears blazers? If not, get him the lastest flat screen screen with a blu ray player, sound system and a subscription to Netflicks. That way he can order or download all he wants. If your money it a lil tight find him some dvds of boxing greatest knockouts/fights. If you can’t find any of those thing, whatever you do don’t buy him socks and draws. WE HATE THAT ISH COMING FROM OUR WOMAN!!!
