Single shots

This payday weekend is expected to be crazy! We highly suggest that you step out of your cocoon and paint the town red! Plan your itinerary by checking out these destinations and events the city has lined up for all you crepuscular creatures.

Do something different this weekend by going solo. This is socially acceptable nowadays for men and women but remember to keep safe! Bar hop and explore the city to see what’s happening, where it’s happening and who’s happening. Log off from hours of Friendstering and meet some people in the flesh!

Prepare for the weekend with de-stressing activities such as a good workout or detoxification session at your favorite spa. Bring out your favorite drop-dead gorgeous outfit and those killer shoes, and the city is yours. Take with you a good knowledge of current events and a sense of humor. Good conversation, charm and wit are always a big plus. Be aware that your alcohol consumption tends to increase when you go solo, so watch that drink!

Strategically speaking, it’s much easier to meet people if you sit by the bar. Be creative when striking a conversation especially with your desired object of the night. World AIDS Day is coming in December and it’s a reminder for us all to keep safe and be responsible in all aspects of our lifestyle. Your primary goal is to meet people and have a roaring fun night!
