Dare to go alone

by Sherry Amatenstein

question
Dear Sherry
Christmas is fast approaching, I have several party invitations and no escort. I'm thinking of hiring an escort, but that choice is quite humiliating to me. Plus, I don't really want to spend the money. I consider myself good company and a good catch, and yet I haven't had a date in years. What can I do and where can I go to meet men?

answer
Dear m5g4
Forget about an escort service. If you're humiliated at the thought of hiring someone to be your date, unless you're a great actress, there is no way you will be able to carry off the deception when faced with a roomful of revellers. Even if you could pull it off, why bring a date to a party where there will probably be a few unattached men? Don’t miss a perfect opportunity to meet someone new.

Before venturing out solo to parties, make sure you look your best. A woman who is beautifully groomed and garbed feels exquisite. A woman who feels exquisite projects confidence and charisma, which will draw the men to you like moths to a flame.

You're a good catch, yet haven't had a date in years? I could babble the usual: Try dating services; ask friends to set you up, take up a new hobby; throw a party and ask your friends to bring available men; act friendly, be flexible; and so on. However, it sounds as if you need to ask yourself a few questions: Why have you had a relationship gap? Did you suffer a heart-numbing breakup? What have you learned about yourself during this break? Do you like yourself and are you really ready to re-enter the dating scene? You will find love when you are truly ready for it to find you. In the meantime, remember you're not the only one who is dateless over Christmas.
