New Year's Eve Is The Only Time I Regret Being Single
Mr. Giraffe
And, no, it's not because I want to kiss someone at midnight. I prefer having a mellow New Year's Eve but I feel pathetic sitting at home by myself.My single friends all want to go out, which is fine once or twice but, like I said, it's not for me. All my coupled friends want to stay home but don't want me to be the awk third or fifth wheel.
So with whom do I sit around and play Scattergories and watch the New Year's Eve Special on TV? See, this is where an SO comes in handy. Even though I'm usually anti-relations hips, right now I really regret my singleton status.
Do you like being in a relationship during New Year's? What do you like to do?

I'm have no preference either way, but I guess it would be nice... I also tend to avoid the bar scene on New Years. Spending it at home with either my daughters or a SO lighting fireworks, cooking pizza, playing games is much better than anything else. Good Post. Happy New Years.
I guess this is one of the reasons I'm glad that my family forces family gatherings on Christmas and New Year's... I'm happily taken though. But we're miles apart.
i like being in a relationship on new years eve. i go out and party... or i sit at home and curl up next to him to watch the ball drop. but its always nice to share a brand new year with someone you love.
I'm in Japan so it's already 2009 here. I just spent New Year's Eve by myself, watching some New Year's program on TV, and drinking endless amounts of tea and miso soup because I have a terrible cold. And yet I wasn't miserable at all about being alone/single or not doing anything special. Celebrating the new year has gotten kind of boring for me, but at least I'm in Japan this time, so that's enough for me. I danced around after the countdown to his Japanese hip-hop group performing on TV :)
meh, it's just tonight. it'll all be over tomorrow. i'm doing my own sex and the city marathon in my room right now =)
yes. i wanna kiss someone!!!!
but its over now.... so i am good... glad i spent it with my parents...=]
I rented the 1st season of The Wire, so I'll be watching that all night
I really wanted to go out, but there's nothing to do in Dallas. If I was able to be back home in Chicago I could easily do a ton of stuff to ring in the new year lol
HOW ABOUT
BE SINGLE.
AND KISS SOMEONE.
hahahha
OH SHIT!! THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING..
i think both has it cons and pros
last year i was single, i went out and partied hard!! ended in a not so nice way
this year im taken, we were suppose to party until i got my drink spiked and left and stayed in.. i guess it was nice to just be with my bf.
It's worse when you're with someone and they're on the other side of the Earth.
Sucks worse knowing you could be with someone but you're not.
I dont think I ever had an relationship on New Years Eve. I dont like being lonely at this time of year. I am hoping for an excellent 2009 though. I am having a few new year resolutions though and sticking to it! Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year!

I, myself have been in relationships during this time but never got to spend new years eve with them but one time. My last relationship. It just feels so nice to have someone to bring in the new year with you. I miss that, terribly. Just me and my cat this time
Friends of mine are out enjoying it but i'm just not in the mood to.
i'd like to have a bf with me spending time together in new year eve and giving me a year 2009 kiss ~
but i was sitting alone in front of the tv ~ and saying "Happy New Year" when 2009 came ~ i would love to go out with friends but i don't have much friend here in Japan ~ i think i'd probably hang out with my dearest friends if i were in HK ~
it sounds pathetic ~ but i think im fine with it ~ enjoying the time by myself ~ though i'd really love to have someone with me ~
the first time i kissed somebody at midnight was the best kiss ever. :)
This is the first New Year's in 5 years that I'm single. It's quite interesting. I could've gone out with my sister and her friends' to a club but that isn't my scene anymore. I do wish I was with somebody but guess it just didn't work out this year!
i feel u buddy. i am fine being single but i hate it when it comes the holiday season.....even though I have people asking me to join them, but i feel pathetic being alone in those parties. So instead, I am at home drinking wine alone and play wii just to pass the time. hey it's still fun than looking at those lovey dovey couples .... didnt mean to sound so against those couples...but u know what i mean. Happy new year and may ur next new year will be better....=)
i hope i can find someone to kiss this year.
happy new year!! :)
Goodness I thought I was the only one sitting at home alone on New Years. All my friends are out with their Boyfriends. I don't want to be a third wheel nor do they. Kinda sucks. In a way I wish I was working just so I had a reason to not have plans... but I'm not. So it sucks. I love being single just not on Holidays where it's better to have a Boyfriend. ):
Same here sucks being lonely for NYE =(
No one to countdown with / cheer / hug
it's great to be in a relationship in new year eve, but I still prefer to stay with a group of friends to celebrate together. We had a BBQ party in my friend's home. We have couples and singles together!! What a great time!
@Mistykalady@xanga - Exactly. Your life is like mine.
Most of my friends have boyfriends/girlfriends which always make me third wheel. Plus, some can go off to the city but don't have to trouble getting home safely because they have each other. I choose to be single, so I deal with it.
my new years with my girlfriend was awesome. we watched the ball drop and kissed. our champagne was mountain dew in some wine glasses i stole from the cupboard, haha.
New Years is my least favorite holiday. [Don't get me started on V-Day]. I always found it to be so pointless and stupid and pointless and stupid. This might sound very bitter, but it's just one of those holidays that emphasizes a person being alone.
And yes, one of the reasons I dislike it so much is that I've never actually shared a New Year's kiss with a significant other or done anything special or exciting other than sitting at home and switching back and forth between the Dick Clark special or MTV or something else.
I'll haven't given up on this holiday yet, it might surprise me... next year?
This year I don't even think my family acknowledged it was New Years Eve, we were all watching a movie and then someone pointed out it was 12:02, so we just said Happy New Year and continued the movie we were watching.
I'm just about as single as they come! And you're totally right... being single on NYE does suck. Big time! There's about 6 men interested in me too, yet I decided (for different reasons) to not go to anything with them. Sure, I could have taken a chance but.... I didn't. And so now I'm single and alone tonight. *sigh* One day I'm just gonna get over it...
I went to bed at 11 p.m. last night... I still think it's much more better than spnding time with the man you don't like just because it is a New Year!!!
