Being single on New Year’s Eve can be refreshing or painful, depending on your perspective. It’s up to you how the night goes – and how you approach the new year. You can greet 2008 with self-confidence and style, or you can cringe as it marches right on by.
What you do this New Year’s Eve doesn’t matter as much as how much you enjoy yourself. You can have more fun at home alone than at the biggest New Year’s Eve Bash in the city (especially if you’re an introvert).
So, if you’re single on New Year’s Eve, pick one of the following four ways to celebrate it – and ring in the new year with self-confidence and happiness.
Single on New Year’s Eve: The Big New Year’s Eve Bash
Many hotels, groups, restaurants and dance clubs host huge New Year’s Eve Bashes. Hundreds of people join the festivities: the party is loud, boisterous, and full of good cheer. You can wear your sexiest gown or rent a tuxedo, and dance and drink the night away.
The Big New Year’s Eve Bash is good for extroverts and those who want to do something totally different. Being single on New Year’s Even doesn’t have to mean you’re bored at home alone – many, many singles join these parties. It’s a great way to meet new people, too.
Single on New Year’s Eve: A Singles Event
Singles events on New Year’s Eve can be a blast, especially if you go with an open mind and willing spirit. This is your chance to chat with new people, make new connections, and try something new in 2008.
If you want to go out but don’t want to go alone, see if you can car pool through the event organizers’ forum or discussion groups. Meet Market Adventures, for instance, has a forum; singles often post ride share opportunities on it. One single woman posted that she wants to try new things in the new year – and challenge herself – but she wasn’t quite ready to face hundreds of new people at this singles event (Meet Market Adventures organizes a huge New Year’s Eve singles event every year).
Single on New Year’s Eve: Small Group of Friends
Getting together with a small group of close friends is the perfect way for an introvert to bring in the new year. Being single on New Year’s Eve can be a great way to get to know your friends better, make new year’s resolutions, and wake up happy and refreshed on January 1.
Single on New Year’s Eve: A Quiet Night Alone
Spending New Year’s Eve by yourself can be a relaxing way to bring in 2008. Pick your favorite activity – but make it a healthy one so you wake up feeling good about yourself. Avoid binging on food, alcohol or drugs. Instead, give yourself a pedicure, manicure, or facial. Take a bubble bath. Make a list of dreams and goals for 2008. Call your mom, grandma, or long lost aunt. Clean out the junk drawer. Focus on ways to start the new year right.
