Only for The Holidays? Not a Problem with These Five Tips

Thanksgiving, Christmas and Kwanza. Whatever you celebrate this season, being single does not suck as much as you think. I know how it feels to cruise to Aunt Sally as ugly sweater, rolled at the table of the boys, and did not bring a date. I too have been harassed from the first to the last bite of my turkey curious relatives, only to sulk down on the chair and I wish I had asked Starbucks cute girl come with me.

Do not worry my friend, because being single rocks, even during the holidays. Even before you start thinking about what is going to do to change your situation, maybe you should consider what is not enough. Look, if you had to choose between staying home and wallowing in their own self-pity, crying in a warm beer watching reruns of “It’s a Wonderful Life”, or being invited to all parties with the explicit goal of meeting someone new, so choose? You see, from now until New Year’s Eve, you can run the gauntlet and still make things happen.

5 dating tips for the holidays

1. Being single is a good thing. After the turkey has been carved, and the grandmother is drinking liquor on the patio, you can rest in peace, knowing that there will be nobody around to nag or complain. You are living the American dream, YOU ARE FREE! No shopping, no agonizing over, not the mother in law, and no fruit pies. You can travel anywhere, hang out with whoever you want, and enjoy life as you see fit.
2. Was not invited? Move your ass host a party. He does not like to be picked last, so plan your own holiday party right now. Finally, you can control the list of guests, serving food and beverage of choice and pick up something more than “The Chipmunks Christmas” album to turn. To prevent air from a college party, invite some friends together, and encourage everyone you know to bring a friend. As an aside, I’m a big fan of white elephant parties.
3. Own each person attending. Everyone, including the secretary of misanthrope with lazy eye, is invited to a few games, so most of them. Do not walk in the hope of attracting attention, instead of giving them a reason for you to notice. Use your favorite designer clothes, get a new haircut and confident. How? Speak with authority, positioned at the head of the table, and sit up straight. This is your room, and control.
4. Have a quick return ready. We all have made uncomfortable questions, questions that make us tremble. “When you get married?”, And “What happened to ____?” You know someone is going to pry, so you might as well punish them for their insolence. How to order? Answering questions with questions. Respond with, “Why questions” and “Would you like to attend a wedding or something?” I have often told lies horrible girl I’ve left being maimed by a pack of wolves or something, but to hit only those who dare to question the state of dating.
5. You are not missing anything. Most people in relationships are not happy. Here is an experiment you can do-go to the mall. See how couples walking together like two prisoners of the chain gang? Note the blank stares in the face, the colors muted, drab, flat dialogue. This is not exactly all good to be true? You are given the opportunity to do things right the first time, and know someone who can be happy with. When you see most people in relationships end, and miserable life, remember that your freedom is a gift, not a burden.

Like you, I’ve spent holidays alone, wallowing in pity. If you follow this advice, then you can avoid this, and embrace his situation. Every time you wear, just think about those people in the mall, shopping for gifts that nobody wants, for people who can barely tolerate, and certainly not love. This is your chance to make things right, to meet the right person, and finally happy.
