We’re in the midst of the holiday season—mistletoe, drinking, and loads of parties that frankly some of us would rather avoid. Sure, the thought of going solo to a Christmas or new year’s party may be cause for panic, but it provides the best opportunity to meet new people and find yourself a date.
I know, who wants to go to a party alone, especially during the holidays? These parties are filled with smug couples, a constant reminder of what we are lacking. And let’s not forget the “why are you still single?” questions. As though we are turning down loads of offers and proposals for some unknown reason.
These hinderances aside, have a little perspective. First, there is nothing more attractive then a single guy or girl alone at a party and having fun. It is also much easier to approach someone when they are alone rather than with a posse of friends, so you are in turn making yourself more approachable. You’re also more likely to get a date or meet a new friend who wants to set you up when you go solo, because you are mingling with new people rather then hanging with your friends all night.
So, accept all the holiday party invitations you can and stretch your social skills. Time to give it a try and see who you meet.

Yeah, I know it seems like it. But every time I’ve gone to a holiday party alone I’ve had pretty good luck because I’m forced to be pleasant about it. When I’ve gone with my friends, nothing happens. So, it’s worth a try.
