Bad night to be single...

New Years sucks being single and having your closest friends either at work or in a different city...

A night alone with some red wine and a dvd methinks...


Still, here's to 2008...

    Although it has been a while since I have been single, I do remember that New Year's Eve is not the best night for that. It always made me feel lonely. But you can enjoy it anyway. Be happy, listen to PJ, try to stay awake.....

    May I recommend picking someone up to get through the holidays? No, seriously, when I'm by myself, I'm in pretty good company. Have a good one.

    eh, I've got nothing to do either, but I don't feel any different from last year when I had a boyfriend and we went out on new years. new years is so overrated. just treat it like any other night.

    I've learned to just enjoy my own company recently. Seriously, I'm the only person who truly understands me. Enjoy it. :)

    Oh, please. New Year's eve isn't about being with someone. Alone or in a group, single or attached it means what it means: a brand new year.

    Make a good one and not a pitiful thing.

    Meh, an excuse to be completely hedonistic. Crank up music, get a little drunk and make some new friends.

    Being single is definately enhanced by single friends..... but you can have a hell of a lot of fun, and do quite well on a night like tonight. Town is the barrel people are the fish.... Fish in a barrel

    Off with the old. Everything is fresh and new.... nothing to dwell on.

    seriously....do you have a favorite restaurant where you like going? I spent last year single and went to my fav bistro, fed myself an excellent meal, a few martinis and lots of laughs with the people in there. Yes, most, if not all were couples but who cares? It was my night. I agree that it's typically a night for couples but screw that....if you're spending it alone, you can do it one of two ways - crying in your drink because you're alone or show yourself a good time and say FTW. The night is as good as you make it. If a good time is red wine and DVD, then it's a success.

    I have party plans tonight otherwise, I was going to go to my fav place again.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Well it is a big party night. people meet and hook up at parties and bars. Perhaps you should give it a shot somewhere for a little bit. I mean being able to check out the other singles has it's advantages.

    I'll be at home with the gf, but speaking from past experiences being with someone isnt all it's cracked up to be either. make the most of it.

    Failing that, just get ripped.

    I never thought of new years as a night for couples at all, I always think of it as a big party night, not a solitary date night. Last year I did go on a solitary date...but only because I had nothing else to do.

    I did once go to a new years eve party where I was the *only* single person. not only was everyone in a couple, they were like *married* with *children* couples. It sucked not because I was single, but because these people were L-A-M-E. And, like your buddy's wife, they seemed to feel bad for me because I was single...I was like whatever, I feel bad for you cuz you're LAME.

    yep.....why do couples always want everybody else to be a couple too? to share in their misery? ;):D

    tonight is kinda reminding me of how I have so few friends in this city...well state, region...side of the country...but I still don't really care about not doing anything tonight. I'll feel healthier tomorrow, that's for sure.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    This is why I wish I was still in America. 'Making friends' is an unknown concept here.. people think you're either needy and naive or a sex offender.

    Somehow, someway, New Year's Eve is worse then Valentines, your birthday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, going to your best friends or any family members wedding while being single. Wow!
    You've changed your place in this world!

    People were pretty flipping friendly to me in Florida, and I'd never met them before.
