I think if I were facing a date-less NYE and all my girlfriends had dates I would either ask to be fixed up with someone they knew or I would call a guy-friend who was maybe (hopefully?) dateless too to spend the evening with.
I don't think it's a good idea to put pressure on yourself to find a date by new years. I agree with shy. If i didn't have a date for NY then I would rather go out with my friends and have a good time rather than be with someone who I didn't really want to be with or someone who I didn't know that well. Sometimes it is good to just take it easy too and stay at home and relax rather than go out in the massive crowds of people and spend a lot of money. It is nice to have someone to kiss on NY but I wouldn't try hard to quickly find a date just for that one night that is just one night really in the whole scheme of things. I would rather be with a person whom I really enjoyed being with and saw some potential with. I'll definately be happy to spend it with my new boyfriend this New Years but I'm not sure what we'll be doing.
No I will just be dateless. I would rather be dateless then be stuck with just anybody. I am going over to a friends house for game night and will be conveniently in the bathroom at midnight when everyone is smooching. LOL
I agree with everyone else that posted as I would much rather be dateless on new years eve then spend the night when someone that was not special to me. I have never really been one to take new years as a really important day. Usually, my friends and I will just have a small get together. This year is going to be somewhat different because my friends are either going away with their family, spending the night alone with their b/f's, flying back to another country, or going to a friends house where my ex b/f will be as one of my girl friends is best friends with my ex b/f and has known him and all the guys since high school. They are her main group of friends so she is going there. I most likely will be spending the day visiting with my best friend and her husband before they leave that day to go back home, as they moved to the USA in July after they got married. Then I will be spending the night with a friend of mine who has come back into town for the holiday season. So her and I will probably hang out with her new born baby as her husband is away working. Other than that I am not sure what else is going on.
I haven't done anything spectacular for NYE in several years. Last year, it was just myself and three other drunk people ; ) The year before, I was at home sleeping by midnight and that is probably where I will find myself again this year.
I don't think a quick date is ever a good idea on NYE.
My date is going to be a new book. I'm not very into NYE, and not interested in being out on the roads with a bunch of drunks.
NY Day I'll go foxhunting (it's one of the High Holy Days of hunting) and then the family will gather for the traditional pork roast and sauerkraut.
Smile,
