Hundred of dates to rent
Do you cringe inwardly at this time of year when people around you start planning for year-end and social calendars start filling up with all variety of activities and events to celebrate religious events and the like? Are you that person who usually makes excuses after receiving the constant barrage of party invitations? Could you think of nothing worse than going through the festive season alone and single… again. It’s a fact that people get more depressed as the holidays approach and this is mostly as a result of the expectations of society in general around spending time and money on celebrations.
If this is you and you can’t stand it any longer, then you have three choices. The first choice is to avoid and deflect at all costs, the interaction of any kind in favour of your couch, your most comfortable onesie and a never ending stream of junk food designed to replace all the needs which are met through human interaction. Diversion is key for this approach as people will come searching for you and ask you the questions that you are trying to avoid. Recommendations for this approach is to lock the door, let your mobile charge all the way down and leave the lights off so that people think you have gone away on holiday and are uncontactable because you have lost signal in some mysterious island destination. Suggest fake tan at the end of the season to make your story authentic.
