As I think about Christmas approaching, I am starting to get worried about the dark storm cloud of depression that awaits for me directly after. This storm cloud always builds due to the fact that I am single, once again, this holiday season.  And directly after Christmas we all know what holiday follows… New Year’s Eve!

I usually can forget about being single during Christmas, itself, cause I can focus on friends and family who I LOVE beyond belief, sooo that sustains me. However, New Year’s Eve is a completely different beast, and this beast likes to close the night with a KISS!!!

It’s an awful feeling (for me at least) to know that at the end of the night the only thing I will be kissing this year is the back of my hand. The thought of standing around a bunch of people when the clock strikes midnight and they all embrace and lock lips as I stand there awkwardly makes me want to step into a bathtub with a toaster….and yes that toaster would be plugged in!

The main questions that pop into my head for New Year’s Eve this year is Why In Gay Hell am I single? and What in Gay Hell am I going to do?

Soooo, below are some of the options I am considering for this New Year’s Eve. I know I am not alone in the single department and actually have it on record that I am not the only one concerned about this issue. I do also want to state, for the record as well, that on most days I am a VERY happy single Gay man who lives a life filled with Glitter, Rainbows and Unicorns. My thought process on this was what does a single Gal do on a holiday that is swamped with happy couples kissing at midnight? (I just puked a little in my mouth).

• Laugh the Night Away- Why in Gay Hell not? There are a few events taking place around New York that involve a comedy show. This to me sounds like a good time, seeing as how laughter is the best medicine and I am in desperate need for a cure to my single blues.
• How about spending it at a Ultra Hip Nightclub with celebrities included?- Why In Gay Hell wouldn’t I wanna pretend I am Lindsay Lohan on New Year’s Eve? A lot of clubs host New Year’s Eve parties with “celebs”…sooo this is an option. However, I will state, usually an event like this has a lot of Wannabes and Dbags floating around, not really my crowd, but It does give me more people to laugh at!

• Or, of course….The Obvious would be an Actual SINGLES New Years Eve Party- Cause Why In Gay Hell wouldn’t I want to spend New Year’s Eve with my fellow single peeps? This is a good and bad idea. I know I won’t have to worry about couples kissing, but do I wanna be concerned with being hit on the entire evening (cause that would happen) and do I wanna have to worry about being sooo desperate at 12 that I kiss the closest stranger?

In conclusion, I want to add that no matter what I decide to do this New Year’s Eve, I will be with at least one other single person as my wingman. That way I have somebody I can point at all the happy couples with and call them losers.  Me and my wingman will also be taking all of WhyDidYouWearThat New Year’s Eve fashion advice so anyone who sees us will ask WHY IN GAY HELL are those two hotties single?

xx,
