Eight places to meet someone in December
1. In the checkout line ...
Of Nordstrom. Of J.Crew. Of SportChek. Of Bath and Body Works. Anywhere you go to buy a present for your friend/mom/dad/kid brother/coworker, you’re likely to run into someone else who’s also shopping for gifts. If you’re brave, you can always approach someone by asking, “Hey, can I get your opinion?”
At no other point of the year will you be invited to such a concentrated string of social events, many of which will be full of people whom you’ve never met before. Definitely a big enough dating pool to get you through January and February ...
4. At the airport
Holiday delays are to be expected, so go prepared! Head to the airport bar and see what other miserably stranded people might need to pass the time. Go to the computer station and ask to borrow someone’s plug. Strike up a conversation in the magazine section of the bookstore. Ask someone to watch your stuff while you run to the bathroom, and then strike up a conversation upon your return. The possibilities are endless!
5. At the one place open on Christmas Day ...
If you don’t celebrate Christmas, you don’t have a ton of choices about where to eat or hang out on Christmas Day. This is a good thing: it means all the other non-celebrating people are forced to go to the same Chinese Restaurant as you. Solidarity!
8. Under the mistletoe ...
It’s got to work for some people, no?"
