The Risen Realm

Why didn’t the skeleton go to the party? Because he had NO BODY to go with.

Aside from the obvious hilarious jokes, I like to give a bit of advice for the discerning socialite – and today it boils down to this: how do you decide who take with you to the numerous glamorous events you’re invited to over the year…(?)

Choosing a prospective date for an exclusive party – or even a chilled out BBQ – can be a potential landmine if they look good, but are as interesting as a grape. On the other hand, they may have a thought-provoking personality but a tendency to rub people up the wrong way – and this isn’t what you need as you try to charm your boss at the Christmas bash.  

Finding the perfect match can be time consuming and – for those particularly snowed under with work or family – almost impossible. Relying on suggestions from friends, or getting involved with colleagues, can be risky business – but luckily there is a new way to find the perfect party pal.

We’re all familiar with the concept of social networking; chatting to friends online – and checking out the cute guy you stalk at the gym – are just some of the ways we utilise these sites to keep connected with our social circle. However, sites like Badoo are flipping that on its head and introducing a focus on dating, as well as social networking.

Discovering old friends – and hooking up with new ones – can be the ideal way to broaden your horizons and introduce new people into your life – and if that allows a romance to blossom, even better!

Don’t turn up to ANOTHER party alone as you hang out by the buffet crying into your sausage roll. Become the envy of the office as your date laughs at your jokes, opens doors and genuinely doesn’t mind the herbs stuck in your teeth…
