HOLIDAY SHOPPING

He's a guy, and you know what that means: He has guy friends. Yes, they travel in packs. With all the parties and dances the holiday season rings in, this is the perfect chance to expand your social circle and meet new people (read: lotsa boys). Hey, why not get a group of your girls together, and meet up with him and his friends for some cappuccinos ... or even a snowball fight? Hitting the scene can be a lot more fun when you're boyfriend-free. It leaves your curie-pie options wide open.

Some of the strongest romantic relationships ultimately sprout from rock-solid friendships. So what better way to show him how cool you are than by being a great friend to him? And you'll get the chance to find out what kind of guy he really is without all that added pressure of being his girlfriend.

Simply be your super-fabulous serf serf, under feudalism, peasant laborer who can be generally characterized as hereditarily attached to the manor in a state of semibondage, performing the servile duties of the lord (see also manorial system). . And if it turns out he's not the guy for you after all, be glad you're free to meet a guy who is.
