Singles, How to Survive Enjoy the Holidays!

"There are roughly 55 million single women in the U.S. When that certain finger is ringless, even the most self-assured single can dread the shame and rebuke of facing disappointed family during the holidays -- especially when the really hostile ones who found the unlocked liquor cabinet constantly undermine you, demanding to know why you can't scare up a date. It can be downright soul-crushing when you come home empty-handed --– literally! -- no ring on that finger, watching family members' faces crumble in disappointment that you're back another year without any engagement bling." - from A Single Girl's Guide to Surviving the Holidays

But why does being single during the holidays have to mean that you're unhappy? Don't let the holiday blues get you down - We think the holidays should be a fun time, and dating should be low-pressure and fun - not stressful!

One benefit of being single during the holidays is that you save tons of money. No gift for a guy and no gift to bring to his parent's house. We all window shop around the holidays and see that one thing that we want - go ahead and treat yourself! After all, You deserve it!
Or you can do something nice for someone else. Volunteer somewhere or bake cookies for your neighbors or co-workers. A little random act of kindness will not only make you feel great, it can also be a great place to meet singles!

Find fun holiday events in your area - but not the type that you have to get super dressed up and feel bad if you show up with a friend. For instance, San Francisco holds the SantaCon Pub Crawl. This flash mob-type event brings together hundreds of slightly sober people dressed in Santa costumes parading around the city, visiting landmarks drinking at bars and causing general mayhem.. And there is an after party!




Feeling great and having fun can very easily convince you that it is easier than you think to love life during the holiday season! We hold many fun events in the San Francisco area - Ice Skating in Union Square, Volunteer: Christmas Celebration & Meals 2012, and Pre New Year’s Singles Dance Extravaganza are just a few - so get out there and have fun this Holiday season!
