Why do girls want a boyfriend more than ever around the holidays?

Because we feel more horny during that time..so it's worth hanging for...lol.

Every girl wants a gift from you and then if they don't like gift then they break up with you.

Because NOT having a boyfriend usually makes you feel lonelier during the holidays. During xmas break, you see all these couples having fun, celebrating the beginning of the new year, enjoy the littlest things together while you sit at home alone. Not fun, right?
Everyone wants someone special around a magical time like Christmas.

Why does anyone? Because it's a lonely time of the year if you don't have anyone to spend it with. There's so many holidays that people feel social pressure to spend with other people. Look at new years eve, there's definitely social pressure to have a good new years and be out with friends there's pressure to have the first kiss when the ball drops, etc. Christmas is all about love, friendships, family. Valentines day, don't even get me started.

because the holidays is a time to spend with people you love. Yes your with your family, but sometimes a girl just needs love from someone else!

well Yeah I get depressed around new years eve, cause am always alone and specialy on my birthday I get depressed big time! no one to give a gift to or to share this with, yeah it could be depressing if nothing is working for you in your life. I mean if you just got promoted then No you wouldn't be depressed but if your life still sucks and you re also spending new years eve alone then yeah you re screwed!

but hey that's what friends are for! support, the good part is we re all single so we all get together and celebrate being single woo hooo

Because its lonley.

Personally, my friends all bring home their boyfriends to meet, and I wind up feeling a little lonely and a little like a third wheel

Because the feeling of love is in the air during the holidays that's why and girls just want someone to cuddle with, to feel the love with, you know all the love notions and all the crap

Because Christmas is sposedly the time of year that you spend with special people that you love. I mean family and friend's is all good, but what about when you want to snuggle up with that special someone and kiss under the mistetoe, and you don't have that special someone? It is quite depressing.

well it feels lonely.. xmas is supposed to be a holiday full of love, joy, and being surrounded by the ones you love, and being with your other half is kinda better than being with your parents and your old grunchy aunt Esther I guess..

its the romance. you know, the traditional snuggle up with your sweetie in front of a fire while its snowing outside and below 0 weather. Ice Skating, and all the fun stuff in between. From personal experience, I wanted a guy for a while but the holidays really increased that feeling because my friends wanted to go see a movie or ice skate and I felt weird being the only one without a date.

it's a romantic time of year. hense mistletoe. (did I spell that wrong?)

I think its mostly because its a time of the year that every girl wants to share with someone. makes it more special to share with someone.

When I didn't have one, for me I wanted that companionship on the holidays, that person to care for and hold near.

Some girls are just caught up in the romance of the "Holiday's" and want someone to snuggle, to hold, to spend intimate time with --to go ice skating with -to go snow boarding with --to Go on trips with meaning some just don't like the feeling of "loneliness" and don't want to be lonely.

but it's not just girls that are single --Guys are the same way too ---

It can't be just any guy. You don't want to be around someone you really don't care about.

I want the one I love, and truly care about.

My boyfriend told me he loved me for the first time on New Years night after 8 months of seeing each other (we were taking it kind slow and easy, both scared to get hurt...) I cried my eyes out, I was so excited and happy. He asked me never to break his heart. It was just an unbelievable night.

We stayed together for 5 years, and all I want this year for Christmas is for him to wish me a Merry Christmas and be close to me through the New Year.

But I lost him, so now I am the one with the broken heart...So yeah we get depressed around the holidays when we don't have someone to love and care for at the time of year that love and caring is everywhere.

Holidays suck for the broken hearted...

PRESENTS!

Holidays have that romantic essence. The candles, smells, the family all around feelings and you see other couples together. Girls just want to share those special times with a significant other. The want the romantic part of the holidays and have someone to share those moments with like the exchanging of gifts, the cold weather to cuddle, and that midnight kiss on new years eve!

i don't. I already made up my mind that I really don't care if I ever get married. well for a while because I see every other girl with a guy and so it's like I want to havea boyfriend to just go out and have fun but I am so busy!

Just as everyone said, the sense of loneliness during the holidays and getting invited to parties and not having anyone to take. I actually don't pay attention to holidays anymore, I've gotten used to this kind of situation. :) I want a boyfriend. period. teehee!

maybe they want presents lol
or they just realize that they want someone to be with during this times...
idk I never thought about it good question...

i'm single and you feel really lonely around christmas specially if your siblings are married with kids. I'm only 20 but holidays can be tough alone at this age

sense of loneliness. the holidays are a time of love, and thankfulness. a girl wants to have this, so a boyfriend is alway top on her wish list.

It depends what type of girl!

Type one - GOLD DIGGER.
Type two - It's a festive time and it's the time where you love one another and spend the most time with your loved ones :)

I've never really been upset about being single around Christmas, but I kind of get why other people might feel that way--no one wants to be alone around the holidays. Plenty of guys are the same way.

And I agree with berlinium, it's a good time for family to ask questions and make annoying comments about your love life.

The only reason I can think of for it being during the holidays would be because that's usually when we have to see all our family's and get the same "How's your love life" question. I'm not sure if depressed is the right word though.

Being as I am currently single, and it's nearly the holiday season, it sucks. I'm not going to lie, I got dumped about 4 weeks ago, and the closer to Christmas it gets (we had plans throughout December as it's his birthday, and Christmas was to be spent with my family since his family lives across the country) the harder it gets. I mean, I'm not going to go crawling to him asking him to take me back, because I don't want him back. The break-up was not mutual, and there is no way I can forgive him for what he said to me.

I feel left out in a way, because many of my friends are either in committed relationships, or married, and I'm still single. Around the holidays it gets tough, because I look at those relationships, and they're all getting googly eyed, and talking about what they're getting each other for Christmas, and I wish I had that. But at the same time, it's less stress for me.

Advertisment on tv,Magazine ...etc

I think it might have a lot to do with just feeling the need to feel special around Christmas etc. and also the fact that when you go to New Years Eve parties and a lot of people are in couples, that's a little disheartening...I don't know really a precise reason, but I definately feel it too, not in a huge way, but I feel like having a boyfriend would give me a little bit an emotional boost- I think its a combination of a new year being imminent and a sense of feeling the need to have 'accomplished ' something- and for many girls, having a boyfriend is seen as a sort of accomplishment, and having spent the whole year single can make some women feel inadequate...I think as usual with girls, its about emotional validation and I think around this year, a lot of women just become more sensitive to needing some especially seeing as the weathers so depressing etc. ... xxxxxx

I don't want a boyfriend during the holidays any more than I already don't during the rest of the year

i think its probably because (especially xmas) is such a romantic time what with all the lights and snow and everyone is always talking about what they are getting their significant other as a present and it just makes us single girls think about what we haven't got. namely a husband or boyfriend. hell some of us don't even hav pets!
i for one would really like to be in a relationship this xmas but its unlikely. kinda depressing when everyone else in the house is attached!
at least every other time of the year their not all in the house at exactly the same times...alll day!

i don't think it has anything to do with the holidays its the season , its cold out. when its hot , summer and etc.. everyone wants to have fun. in the cold, people want to snuggle up with someone special even if its just for a few months. that's probably why most girls act that way.

Holidays are a challenging time for the single woman. There's work Christmas parties (which always suck to go to solo, and hear people ask " how is it that you're STILL single"... as they suck down their 4th martini. Or worse, family gatherings. You've got aunts, grandma's and even great grandma's asking what's wrong, and why haven't you found a man yet... like you've got some crazy curse of infection that prevents a decent man from finding you. It's enough to drive a mature and responsible woman (who has been waiting patiently for the right guy) insane.

But perhaps the worst is that the holidays are meant to be shared with loved ones, and I don't know about you, but I'm definitely a huge people person, and not being able to share such a wonderful holiday romantically with someone, well it used to be a sad time of year. Maybe it's all those ridiculous Hallmark commercials and cheesy low-budget holiday TV movies.

All I know is that this time of year is meant to be with those you love, and sometimes it's easier to be around them when you've got a girlfriend or boyfriend there to support you... and feed you alcohol to make your uncle's bad stories less boring ;)

There's a lot of reasons.. For me it's because the whole holiday season puts me in a romantic mood (all the lights and snow and atmosphere) and if nobody is around to share it with, it becomes depressing. Also its cold, so girls want more than ever to be able to go home and snuggle up with someone. Then there is the factor that all the other girls are talking about exchanging gifts and romantic getaways and we have none. Then there's always the fact that people in general are more depressed this time of year because of the lack of sunlight...

They don't want to be alone

Because we get invited to holiday parties and family events that make it very noticeable we are single when we would like to be in a relationship. It feels good to have a special guy in your life that can go with you. It personally isn't depressing to not have a boyfriend at this time of year, but the holidays just have so many more activities that seem to be couple activities, so it comes up. Not a big deal, to me, at least.

i know guys who are like this too. first off-many woman have seasonal depression and so once winter come along our mood aren't as great (some of us). and also, its cold and its the perfect time to cuddle up to someone. now besides weather (I realize its not cold everywhere) but the holidays remind single people that they don't have anyone whether it be christmas movies that always seem to be romantic, commercials with love as an advertisement, family members and FRIENDS who talk about getting stuff for their significant others, etc. its not just girls and certainly not every girl who feels like this, but those are some reasons.

I wonder this quite a bit with my friends. You'd think they'd want to wait until the holidays were over so they didn't have the stress of buying a gift. Hey what do I know, huh?

I'm not sure why it does, but as a single dude, its not fun. In the summer, its nice to get out, see some skin and find out that these women are single and ready to mingle. Once it gets cold, most of these same girls have bfs.

Dude cause there very lonely.. and they don't have a boyfriend and they want to feel loved.. Its the same thing as Valentines day same sitution.

I get the same way ;( . It has something to do with everyone coming together and showing they care for one another but I don't have anyone so that's why I feel that way,

I'm a guy and I feel the same way during the holidays, especially Christmas. Christmas does an excellent job of highlighting the fact that you don't have anybody. I've never had a girlfriend, and over the last 5 years the most depressing period for me has always been Christmas; you see couples going around shopping together, going Ice skating and doing loads of stuff together. The advertising emphasises it aswell on TV and around shops, most of it is based around doing things for your family and partner, and being romantic.

Because social gatherings and holidays are depressing when you've got no one to share it with.

They usually get deppressed due to the fact holidays are romantic, nothing like getting a gift or going on a date near a holiday because there's more to do. Plus someone to show off at family get togethers

Holidays, weddings, special occasions can be tougher than most regular days of the year because they're usually times of love and happiness and all that jazz... Personally, being single around the holidays can be depressing, especially when I get together with family and I'm the only single person there. =( I also get a little depressed when I start seeing too many couples together, especially holding hands, flirting and or being all cutesy together. That's just me. =\

because girls are more insecure than we are, and when they are insecure, they get away with it, it's a double-standard in our society.
