It’s Not Too Late For An Awesome New Year’s Eve Celebration!

Top 5 Things You Should Do To Have A Fantastic Time This New Year’s Eve 



1.    Buy your tickets ASAP – What are you waiting for? The party of your dreams may sell out!

·                   Decide early where you want to go to prevent confusion.

·                   Buying tickets early guarantees you will be at the party you want to be at and you don’t miss out on your New Year’s with your friends!

·                   Tickets are cheaper the earlier you buy them. Prices always increase the closer you get to New Year’s Eve and the hottest parties do sell out!

2.    Organize Your Group – Groups Can Save Money!

·                   Discounts are often available for larger groups.

·                   Ring in the New Year surrounded by your nearest and dearest or your favorite party people.

·                   Guys, if want to go with a specific girl - ask now! Women don’t like to be asked at the last minute, and the hot ones will already be taken!

·                   Hotels usually offer packages for New Year’s Eve, especially for larger groups.

3.    Organize Transportation Before The Big Day!

·                   Avoid drinking and driving.  Arrange how you will get to your destination in advance.

·                   Limos are a great way to keep your group together and to kick off your night in style.

·                   Hotels often offer shuttles to parties located close to their location.

4.    Decide What To Wear!

·         Shopping ahead of time takes the pressure off so you’re not running around at the last minute. That’s soooo stressful!

·                   Stores are having holiday sales, so you can find some great buys.

5.    Get Excited!

·                   New Year’s is the biggest party night of the year. Get your friends psyched about how much fun you will have at these once a year special events.

·                   No longer is being single looked down upon at New Year’s. More and more singles are hitting hot spots with their friends and tearing up the dance floors all night long.

·                   Don’t be left out in the cold by missing the incredible events offered in Metro Detroit only once a year!

·                   Don’t stay home with the cats – start off your New Year with a bang and come out and celebrate!

Celebrate New Year’s Eve With 7 Tips  For A New Year Of Dating Success!

With New Year’s Eve upon us, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your dating dreams for the coming year! Gone are the days when the single gal or guy in the crowd is the 3^rd wheel, or even worse, left behind on the biggest party night of the year! With all of the fabulous New Year’s Eve parties offered in and around the metro Detroit area, single friends have every option imaginable for New Year’s Eve. 

Holiday parties abound in Royal Oak, Troy, Ferndale, Dearborn, Rochester, and literally every hotspot where singles meet each other throughout the year has something to offer covering every budget. Hotel Parties at the Townsend in Birmingham, The Royal Park Hotel in Rochester and The Ritz Carlton in Dearborn are exclusive, upscale and convenient, if you book your room early!

So get your friends together and kick off 2012 with a fantastic party night trying out some new dating skills. It’s time to make those dating New Year’s Resolutions work for you! Here are 7 simple steps to get you moving in the right direction!

1. Be proactive – Start by planning ahead! Don’t wait for things to happen – make them happen. Commit to making a concentrated effort to meet new people, and then do it! There are many events and activities available to meet new people if you just take the time to do a little research and put it on your calendar. Literally schedule time for social fun on a weekly basis.
   
   
2. Think like the opposite sex – This is key. Ask yourself what kinds of things the opposite sex likes to do and then do those things (or at least go to places where they happen). Men like sporting events, golf, and co-ed sports leagues – Women like wine tastings, fundraisers, and dinner parties. Go there.
   
   
3. Get out from behind the computer – Take a break from the online world – face to face group events are not only fun, but there is a much better chance to sense chemistry. Speed dating is a great in-person alternative for those that enjoy online dating.
   
   
4. Try New Things – Try organizations, activities and events in new cities that you might not normally try. If you do the same thing, you will get the same results -- with the same people!
   
   
5. Expand Your Personal Network – Making new friends and socially networking is a great way to meet potential mates. Don’t discount someone just because there is no immediate chemistry with them…you never know what party they might invite you to or who they might want to introduce you to!
   
   
6. Go It Alone – There are events and group activities for singles in which most participants attend stag, so everyone is in the same position – meeting new people. Take a singles vacation. Go places alone that you’d normally not go alone!
   
   
7. Lose the fear – This is the most important of all. Change your attitude. When worrying about potential rejection, think like a PR person and totally “spin” the experience in a positive light in your own mind. Imagine that if you approach someone that the worst thing that can happen (assuming you can eliminate your ego) is that they’re complimented that a confident, attractive person like you asked them out. You like complimenting people and making them feel good, right? Of course you do.
