How to get lucky on New Year's Eve.


New Year's Eve 2013: You want to start the year how you mean to go on. That might mean dancing crazily with your pals - or it might mean waking up with a great guy. Either way, Rebecca Holman has got you covered with her top 10 NYE tips.

If Mike from the Post Room eluded you at the work Christmas party, and you fear you’ll see out the rest of 2013 without so much as a grope (I’m writing this nearly at the end of the festive break from the back of my parent’s car, so I really do sympathise), then don’t fear. It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow, which means there’s still everything to play for in the shagging stakes.
New Year’s Eve is the perfect storm of booze, fancy frocks and terrifying pressure to snog someone at midnight, which turns even the coolest ice queen into a sobbing, tequila-soaked lunatic by 11.55 if she’s the only one of her friends not to have paired off. After all, if you believe that how you start your year off is indicative of how the rest of it is going to go, then do you really want to greet 2014 in by scream singing to Dancing On My Own by Robyn, crying, while all your friends slow dance, obliviously, around you with their new paramours? Answer: no.

Of course, there are two sides to this coin, like the Christmas party before it, the pressure to cop off with someone on New Year’s Eve means that your judgment can go seriously out of the win.
