True. I had a date once that liked my sweater so much he was picking at the sequins on it. A strange guy I met at a party from friends. One date to a concert and never again.

No company Christmas Party for me but I really, really want to find a man that will volunteer to go out with me on New Years (and no, I don't have any male friends to ask). Maybe I'll hire an escort for the evening.
This will be my 8th New Year in a row on my own, watching TV with a bottle of wine and I can't bear another one.

It's a glow-in-the-dark compass ring, so you don't get lost.

This is where male friends come in!

I'm bringing my best friend (who's a guy). I brought him last year and he proved quite presentable and stood up nicely to the antics of my wacky eHarmony co-workers!
I wonder what eHa co-workers do when they are all jollied up and feeling festive. I wonder if they snicker as they secretly log on, create new profiles, and start new "weight" and "who pays" threads ...

... and then laugh their duffs off while they sip Strawberry Daiquiris.

Hmmmm ...

I think you would look mighty fine in a kilt. And with Stat on your arm with her lustrous hair swinging under the lights, who could go wrong?

The ultimate accessory: a good partner.

(Must stalk Stat with sissors)

Wow, Winn,

I've had dates stare at the sun too long ... but never pick sequins off my chest.

*CO ponders*

I know what that's like - minus the wine. I have never had a date on New Year's Eve. Ever. This year will be the first. Nothing like having your first kiss at midnight on New Year's when you're 29! lol

I hope you find somebody to spend the evening with.

I have been on my own for the greater part of my life on New Year's Eve...call me crazy, but I rarely even think about it anymore...but if you'd like to come down we can commiserate together that night...

I don't have a date for my Christmas party either.

I'm taking a stand. If I have to go in there alone, I'm going in gorgeous, confident, PROUD of my bad self...and unapologetic about being dateless. Who's with me??
