Festive Solo Soirees - Dating Trends

On paper, Steven was the perfect guy. Charismatic, witty, handsome and self-supporting (an increasingly appealing trait). We got along like a house on fire except for one minor hitch: I wasn’t even remotely attracted to him. Go figure. But that didn’t mean Steven couldn’t be Mr. Right for one of my gal-pals.

What could be more perfect, in this THE party season, than to throw a festive solo soiree? As we don the halls with balls of holly, what better holiday gift to give than the possibility of passion? Just like any other party, this one should have all the necessary ingredients: scrumptious finger foods, lots of tasty beverages and plenty of charismatic guests to mix n’ mingle. Only these guests will have one thing in common: they’ll all be eligible singles accompanied by an equally eligible ex.

Santa may have to make his list and check it twice, but assembling your guest list will be so much easier. Whether you’re a newbie to the online dating scene or been around the block a few times, you’ve probably met a few dates that just didn’t work for you. You may even hang-out offline now. So, why not introduce your online pal to a lovely offline gal pal courtesy of your festive get-together?

Then there are all your friends who’ve been on a date or two that just didn’t pan out. Add them to the guest list and ask them to bring along only their most desirable not-date to the party. Got a close co-worker or two? Include them on the list too. Before you know it, you’ve created a relaxed, social get together that’s perfect for meeting that someone special.

Evelyn says for her the date party takes the stress out of meeting someone new. “It’s like six degrees of separation,” she explains. “Everyone there knows someone else, has dated them, and given them the thumbs up. It just makes it so much easier to let your guard down and relax.” Date parties help take the randomness out of meeting someone new. Blind dates, even at their best, can fill the most confident person with anxiety.

But with a date party there’s a built-in trust. There’s comfort knowing the host, or someone close to the host, has already ‘vetted’ the date. Sure, he/she may not have been perfect for that person, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t date worthy. Automatically, you have a better chance of meeting someone special because you’re relaxed, more open and receptive to meeting someone new. Plus, hanging out with friends or near friends is just so much easier than awkward bar or club introductions.

So, in this the season of giving, why not offer the perfect gift? Gather all your friends-ex- online dates, online dating buddies, friends and even co-workers-for a festive solo soiree. What are you waiting for? Sign-in now and meet your match. Remember, membership is always FREE. And just maybe you’ll find that perfect someone for you…or someone else. Happy holidays!
