Being Single on NYE

[Joe]

Last year was one of the first years in awhile that I was with someone on NYE and I really enjoyed it.

We really didn't DO much but we had a good time anyways.

So now I'm single again NYE will be alone time. I mean not in the physical seance since I'll be with friends but relationship wise. I know it's just one night but it kind of sucks when every turns to there significant other for a kiss and I don't have anyone.

Don't get me wrong, I know I'm going to have a great time so everything is more then ok.

So whats everyone else opinion about being single during NYE?

[unbroken_chain]

outside of the "social pressure" I have no problem with it. I've been "unsingle" more NYE's than not...

Although I have been single now, longer than most times... so I am beginning to feel that desire to be companioned full time again.

[In A Silent Way]

I was single every NYE until I got engaged.

Party on 12/6 looks fun.

It was a blast. There was about 50 of us bar hopping. The best part was when we all went to see a band play and they tried to charge us to get in. I got all the santas to start chanting Santas Don't Pay. :lol: And you bet we didn't pay.

well, i'm halfway between single and not, hanging out with this girl that wants to take things SLOW, like as in a snails pace, and i'm ok with that, but she will be accompanying me for the toast, midnight kiss and post-passout cuddle

Just think of all the $ you are saving! No xmas gifts, no xtra cost for nye...

My advice: don't land a gf until after Valentines day :lol:

Besides if you're single on nye you just may find a single woman on nye who "doesn't want to be alone tonight" ;)

Have at it.

Oh one more piece of advice: passing out drunk/drruggged at 8pm won't help your chances much either on nye.

If there was one night of the year during my single days that didn't bother me, NYE was it. Easy pickins' that night :lol:

[vinandtonic]

it never really bothered me, and I was single for a lot of them. I was too busy having fun and wishing all of my friends a happy new year to care.

[Milarepa]

I don't think I've ever been in a relationship on NYE.

the kind where you reach orgasm as the bell drops anyway.

but.... thats changing

I know now it was a conflict with a deep need for a monogamous relationship and a fear of loss of independence and the marriage children death cycle.

I am slowly but surly unwinding that.

yee hee look at me go what a swinger cant fucking stop me

yes that last part was sarcasm but I'm working on that.

[Drop_o_Rain]

I have been single for a few of them.. but it never really bothered me...

but this year, one of my friends is freshly getting a divorce, found out his wife (whom he adored beyond all) was cheating on him and might now be pregnant,
and my heart is aching for him.

He will be at work at midnight, alone.... Its just killing me. I want to leave him a little gift at work to help it be a little bit better, but I don't think there is anything I can do or say.
:(

I don't care about being single or not on nye. to me, nye is about I love rock 'n' roll, not I love you. I try to get into the best possible show for the best possible time on nye. I've been single, been part of a couple. It really doesn't mean anything to me.

At Big Cypress, when the year turned 2000, I took pictures of the friends my (then-)boyfriend (who was eventually my fiance, then not, and is still a good friend) and I had gone down there with after midnight, then I went to get a chicken sandwich and couldn't find my way back to where we were, so I wandered around by myself for a few hours, made my way back to the car, realized that I'm born into the world and will probably alone (I really don't need to be dying in front of anyone, I'd hate for someone to have to deal with my dead body right after the fact who isn't medical personnel, not that I want to die in a hospital, but home alone would be just fine), and in the end, if I don't have me, I'm SOL, 'cause I'm all I've got and can count on, in the world (and that I was a dummy and should've brought someone with me to go get a sandwich). My current perspective isn't nearly so dark.

Then they broke into David Bowie and I remembered why I was there, and headed back to the concert field and enjoyed the rest of the night by myself and met up with everyone by the car when it was over.

Anyway, Joe, if you're at Donna the Buffalo, I'll probably be watching/listening to the web feed from the Orange Peel, if I leave the show I'll be at early. If I could be anywhere that's physically real this nye, that's exactly where I'd be.

Actually, I've never had a new years kiss. Every time I was with someone on NYE something went wrong. One year we were in Times Square, and our friend had an asthma attack as the ball was dropping.

Another year I lost track of my GF and found her kissing someone else at midnight.

Another time, the person I was dating decided to travel to an event I couldn't make.

Another time the person I was with had the flu and went to bed at 7pm.

So because I have never experienced it, I don't miss it, nor do I care.

[unbroken_chain]

aint that a bitch.

don't do it man... every time I feel that way... someting wild happens to make me go ... .OH YEAH!!!!

[Dr. Lostreality]

I was single on NYE for 4 years, from 2004-2007...went to a show (usually followed by a hotel party) each year with a bunch of boardies and had an awesome time.

Last year I had a bf on NYE, and had the worst new years ever (basically we were trapped on the second floor of his parents house in Indiana while his parents had an alchohol-free old person party downstairs, and then we ended up having a huge stupid fight right around midnight since we both didn't want to be there.

Tonight I'm still with the same guy (now he lives with me), and Motti and Happyhourhero are coming over, and we're going to have a nice quiet new years eve in my apartment. :)

[little frog]

i don't think being coupled is necessarily a boon on NYE .. i think being with people i care about who i'm going to enjoy bringing in the new year with is much more important to me. (this is my personal take)

if one of those folks happens to be your partner, and that fulfills your basic fantasy of a proper nye then this works out well for you (not sarcastic at all)

what i mean is .. your expectations lend a HUGE weight to how successful the evening will be, partnered or not.

Like a fan club? :lol:

[Lemireacle]

It didn't really matter to me... I had a wonderful friend to kiss at midnight and was surrounded by good friends and family!!

[Lemireacle]

Not that there's anything wrong with it, even if it supposedly doesn't count.

[Luna]

So you admit it-- nice!

[Lemireacle]

I'm not admitting anything. I'm saying if it was true, there would be nothing wrong with it!

[Geminimoon]

I am single and it did not make a difference to me that I was when the new year came to pass.

Yes at times I am lonely but its ok... The new year was the same as all the others...just another day!

[jemita]

wow now i know why lemire is always workin the ryan shows....jeesh! lol

i was single this year, but thankfully so were all my friends... im still tryin to piece together the madness of NYE, just found out more last night actually.... apparently we (like 5 or 6 of my single friends i hang out every week at my local) were "dancing" i said more like drunkin grinding for hours.... and the guy i thought i was all over, my bartender told me last night that he, was in fact all over me.... so i guess thats good! lol and heard something about me and my friend(crystal) wanted to go down on eachother.... its all such a blur.... but no kiss at midnight, just lots of hugs and kisses on the cheeks and tons of good people, so really thats all that matters to me!

i can honestly say i would rather have a single, fun, filled with friends NYE than a NYE with a boyfriend who doesn't love you anymore.... really just because your with someone doesn't always mean its a good place to be.

[musicfan]

Single this year.. Didnt really make a difference as I was enjoying PGroove's wonderful show..
