Posted: 12/31/2007 1:06:50 PM | Well as the day has transpired.. it appears that the guy that has had me tied up for the past few weeks ( another POF) member . Decided after comming on WAY strong to just NOT respond to me. Giving me NO indication whatsoever that he was going to do so. I had hoped to spend it with him.. Since as of today I have discovered that he has dumped his OLD profile and "created a new one". I know know that he is giving me the cowards brush off.. slink away in the defening silence.. all that being said .. I am now with out aim this evening .. and dont intend to sulk about it .. (another one bites the dust) So anyone up for coffee in Atlanta tonight ??? | |

Posted: 12/31/2007 1:16:43 PM | I don't mind being alone on New Years.
Surprising how a few beers and some great tunes can lift your spirit.
Besides,New Years is overrated in my opinion. | |

Posted: 12/31/2007 1:38:50 PM | I never go out on NYE, too many drunks. I have a friend coming over, a rotisserie chicken in the fridge and a bottle of raspberry vodka to go with my tonic. life is very good indeed. I will probably be asleep before midnight but that's OK, I have the Assateague Coastal Trust walk tomorrow...3 miles of beautiful beach with several hundred cool people, then I can go down to the other end of the island an be by myself.
Life is what you make of it, Happy New Year POFers | |

Posted: 12/31/2007 1:57:21 PM | p-trishTHEdish... just wondering...do you have anger issues? ..My gosh..I am just going by what I read from your response (My P.O.V). You expressed yourself as everyone else has aswell...I never threw a dig at you in no way...I just was commenting on the bitterness that (I) saw when reading what you wrote!
Don't take things so personal everyone has a right to say and feel what they want as i said before!...Have a wonderful New Years! | |

Posted: 12/31/2007 2:02:22 PM | Is anyone content with being alone on New Years?...
Absolutely. I am content to be alone on any night of the year, I love my space and quiet time too much not to cherish it. If you mean single, yeah I like that too.
Have you adjusted yourself to the feeling of "no need to be with someone (opposite sex) to bring the nNew Year in with"?...
I think the idea that you have to be with someone romantically on any holiday is sold to the general public by people who want you to buy someone gifts at their store.
I think being single isn't always negative, and being involed isn't always positive - they are just stages of life. Happiness should transcend that stuff.
I do believe that we should spend time with loved ones regardless of who they are; friends, family, and we should meet and socialize with new people and help those less fortunate all year round, but especially on holidays.
Do you feel friends and family give you the same if not better feeling at New Years?...
Absolutely. We're all ringing in the year together, romance isn't specific to that.
Is New Years just over rated or would you prefer to have a date on New Years Eve?...
Just wondering....wanted to know others feelings since it's this evening.
I think it's overrated, but it's a great time of year for the industry I work in (bars, clubs, events, music, drinking, etc.) so personally I'd rather work it than do anything else. I thought a few times I wanted to be celebrating instead, but I was mistaken. Just like thinking you should feel different on a birthday, you feel like the new year should be tangible, but turns out we feel no different than we did 10 minutes ago. It truly is just a state of mind like everything else.
Happy 2008 all!

Posted: 12/31/2007 4:23:45 PM | My ex is a musician so I usually have the kids on New Year's Eve and we have a blast bringing in the New Year! It's sort of pointless making a big to do about bringing it in with anybody who you don't really picture being in your life so the token date, just to have one, is probably worse than being alone. Sort of emphasizes the fact that you are alone in fact.
I happen to have the night off tonight so I'm going with a good friend to a dinner. I like celebrating but I think the over emphasis on romantic things this time of year makes it worse for those who aren't in a "romance". | |

Posted: 12/31/2007 5:20:06 PM | While we may be separated by 900 miles and the 49th parallel, I hope to be spending at least part of my New Years Eve chatting with a sweet POF member from Missouri. So though we won't be in the same room, we will be keeping each other company.

Posted: 12/31/2007 6:05:43 PM | I'm not doin' a gosh darn thing, and I couldn't care less. I've never been much for it anyway. I have my family, and that's ok by me.
What? I should participate in Drunks on Ice 2007? | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 1:16:44 AM | I'm fine w/ being single on New Years. I usually get together w/ my friends and family and we have lots of fun.
Yes.., it will be nice to spend New Years w/ my bf or hubby...romantic, night at home...just watching tv or something. Especially, on a night like tonight, it was snowing, it was cold..and it was pretty outside, if you were staying inside.
I'm enjoying single life right now though, until I find the right person to share my life with and have a family of our own.
Hope everyone has a great 2008 !

Posted: 1/1/2008 2:10:17 AM | Well, it's like this....
My daughter spent it with her dad for the first time since he left.
My son went to church for a midnight vigil with my parents , after scaring the living hell outa me earlier (long story there).
Because of the confusion before my son left with my folks, I ended up spending it as I normally have for the past 13 yrs....alone.
Did I plan it this way? No, I had planned to go out and maybe meet some people at one of the establishments holding a NYE party. But, that didn't happen.
I would have preferred by far to have spent it with someone special, but that is something I do not presently have. So, here at home I was. Sad, but hey, that's life...or at least the way mine is. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 5:26:56 AM | I don't have a problem with being alone on New Years Eve. I generally don't like to get out with all the crazy people, preferring to do something nice with someone I care about.
I thought I had plans. Someone had suggested that we spend the evening together, but then they called back at the last minute and decided against it, AFTER I had made major preparations for the evening. THAT bothered me! | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 6:09:41 AM | dkindig729...Well I too had plans for the first time last night and after spending time with him over a few days (a lot ) of time talking and getting to know each other he asked me if I would like to go out with him on New Years...I opted not too and then he asked again asn I said yes.
At least you got a call!!!...no call from him not even a peep....
I called him and his phone went to the machine and then came on here and left him a message ( please don't think it was a nasty message just a message of dissapointment.
But all in all I spent it away from my TV (as I did not want to hear anyone else having fun)..decided to go and take a bubble bath and when I got out I went on the computer and changed my profile to what I exactly am looking for.
No more worrying if what i am saying on my profile will make the "right" one run as i am being to forward or "fast". I have put it out there and if nobody respondes then so be it. If i am looking for what is on my profile then there has to be someone out there looking for the same?...or not!...if that is the case then single is the way I need to stay!....
I wish everyone a very happy new year and all the best...thank you for giving me your 2 cents on your take of New Years! | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 6:36:18 AM | I agree that being alone on New Years wasn't the worst thing in the world. I rather spend that day with someone special not the wrong someone. Trust me I have been there, done that as well. I wish everyone a Happy New Year. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 8:13:34 AM | Hi readytobeloved,
I checked out your updated profile, and wanted to email you. Tried and was unsuccesssful. I've changed my about me section twice since joining, and find that doing this has helped "weed out" those men with whom I have either nothing in common or no desire to meet.
Wishing you, and all the posters in this thread, health, happiness, love and prosperity in the coming year. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 9:05:18 AM | | cuddlybuddy...i guess its a hit or miss...I have heard a lot of terrible things about this site and really about most dating sites but the way I see things is that I know that my intentions are honest and would love to have someone in my life with me and i know there has to be someone else like this too. Not everyone is out to see how many men/women they can screw. All the best to you and everyone else! | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 9:52:06 AM | | I think its always good to be round people who mean something to you whether it is fact a loved one or friends and family. I spent it indoors this year with a few friends and my children which was ok. It is I think a little overrated but I think its a time of year that we all dwell on the negative things that perhaps we want to change the following year perhaps hoping that by the end of the coming year that we won't be single anymore! Here's to hope!!! | |
