The New Years Kiss…or Seven



As a single person on New Years Eve – positioning is key! Whoa now, don’t get ahead of yourselves, I’m talking about your positioning while still in the bar, restaurant or party of your choosing.

For the last two years my girls and I have taken a dunk in the man pool at San Diego’s finest dive bar, The Waterfront. We like to get a little over dressed and stroll in to steal the show and a few glances from the single men.

Upon arrival there are a few things we do to ensure that a good time is had by all. First, take a walk and make sure you cover all the ground in the bar/party so that everyman knows you have arrived, eye contact works! Second, look excited to be there and interesting to talk to, i.e. lead with your smile and be confident. Third, with your first (and only drink you’ll have to buy) in hand, position yourself near the front door. Eye candy in, eye candy out…right past your very glossy and kissable lips. Wearing something shiny usually sets the right bait; these fish find the sparkle irresistible.

At the stroke of midnight people are eager to hand out kisses and best wishes. If the men have to squeeze by you on the way out the door…you may become their main squeeze. However you may have to pucker up plenty before you plant your lips on the perfect kisser fish.

Oh, what I wouldn’t do in the name of research…
