Christmas Holiday Singles Dating Tip: Say YES to Party Invitations!

I’m sure like me you’re hearing the morning news and talk show hosts almost complaining about their demanding social lives now that it is the holiday season.  People who are married and already have that romantic choice part of their lives currently squared away can afford to kibbitz a little about all the social demands of the numerous holiday parties they are being invited to and must attend.

There’s the…..

• Your Office Party
• Your Spouse’s Office Party
• Holiday Parties From Your Children

You get the idea.  Well, the thing is, when you’re single, two fold, you often get invited to fewer parties once you are over 35 years old.  Often it’s the single folks under about the age of 35 years old who have roommates and who are hosting even the most informal get togethers.  Once singles have paired off into life partner relationships, often in marriage, they actually often host fewer parties.  They are no longer doing this themselves.  Plus they don’t have the social nudge impetus of their 2 roommates suggesting you all host some kind of a holiday party, even when it is a little bit of Potluck and BYOB.

Well, if you are single never married or are dating again after the death of a spouse or dating again after divorce, you often must make your own fun.  OK, so the invitations to parties with over 50 attendees will be fewer and further between.

What that means is, as always when you are an over 35 year old single, and even in some metropolitan areas for the under 35 year old single, you must be very self-actualizing and make a concerted effort to get out an meet new quality people.  This actually means you must make extra efforts.  You will need to do this consciously and with concertedly, looking specifically for social events for you to attend, get some social energy moving in your life, and stretch your social circle.  Any holiday party you are invited to, I don’t want to hear you grouse about the effort you will have to make to dress up, maybe purchase a ticket, perhaps bring an item of food to donate or a small gift for a gift exchange, say “YES!” to all party invitations you receive this season.

Score the newsletters and events lists you receive.  Check the Social Events calendar for your town and those surrounding it.  Look for holiday party and events which you can attend which will feature mixing time with others.

Avoid the dinner awards parties which will be only sit-down dinner time with the 5 other strangers at your table.  Because they will be pretty much the only people you will get to meet that evening.

To give you some ideas, look for:

• H.O.G. Clubs and Dealership Holiday Parties
• Junior League Neighborhood Holiday Parties
• Bible Study Group Holiday Party
• Friends Holiday Parties
• San Francisco Spinster Holiday Soiree
• San Francisco Guardsmen Tree Party
• Young Republican Holiday Party
• Democrats Holiday Party
• Jaycees Holiday Party
• Chamber of Commerce Holiday Party Mixer

While you are at all of these events, aim to speak with about 10-15 people.  You won’t be able to meet everyone.  Additionally, aim to meet a few same sex people to become some of your social cohorts, expanding your social circle.  Exchange personal cards with your name, phone number, and email.  Make sure to get together for drinks, a coffee, or a bite to eat with them in the following week or two.  Weave them solidly into your social life.

By expanding your social circle, you stretch yourself and grow personally and increase your likelihood and chances of finding and attracting lasting romantic love.  And isn’t that the whole point?

Happy Holidays!

Happy Dating and Relationships,
