Ok, so you’ve been single for a while, but do you know what?  Those in relationships wish they were in your shoes (some of them anyway).  Your time will come when you meet the right girl or guy, so until then, enjoy yourself!!!

Ladies- When is the last time you and your girls got together for some serious girl fun???  I don’t just mean a night out at the local meat market either. I mean a two or three-day excursion to a fun filled, pampered palooza!!!  Even if your girls are married or have boyfriends or girlfriends, get it together and go on a little getaway excursion for some shopping and spa time.  You ladies work hard and you should treat yourself to it.

I recognize in these tough economic conditions budgets are the norm, but jump on the internet and no matter where you live, there is certainly a worthy get-a-away spot within six or less driving hours from your locale.  Check out these spas/resorts and hotels to find a spot near you.  If you don’t currently have the funds to afford a get away, maybe you can work some overtime or a part-time job and squirrel some money away.  If you want to just focus on saving money, I have seen a few articles and books on saving $1,000 dollars in 30 days, but it really depends on your disposable income in the first place. If you are only bringing in 2,000 per month and rent is 900.00, I doubt you will be saving $1,000 in a month.  There are ways everyone can cut back but you really have to focus and write down all of your expenditures.  If you are buying your lunch a few times a week, that’s a good place to start; I cut out my morning banana and bagel and am bringing my morning snack to work and am saving at least 25.00 a month on that.  I also stopped spending money on my afternoon snack by bringing that with my lunch and that puts me at another 40.00 a month savings.  The key is to find where you can cut without making yourself miserable and you will be on your way to your long over due spa/shopping get away.

Of course, if the spa/shopping thing isn’t you and your girl friends’ thing, there are plenty of other choices; hiking, camping, beaching-it, wine tasting, horseback riding, etc.  Do some internet research; you can find exactly what you are looking for.

Guys- Probably one of the top fun things you and your buddies can do is a trip to Vegas, baby!!!!! If you haven’t done it, it is a must and even if you have, I am sure it’s worth a second go around.  Check out Vegas.com, where you can find deals on transportation, hotel, and shows.  I would recommend you keep it a small group, maybe you and three other buddies at the most and get two rooms.  Unless you are college students and on a super tight budget, I don’t recommend four guys in a room!

My top three favorite hotels are the Hard Rock, Palms, and The Hotel.  The pools there are hot too!! As for shows, I don’t know if guys do that together but KÀ Cirque du Solel is pretty good as far as Vegas shows go, but you can always see what bands or singers are performing while you are there.  The House of Blues and Hard Rock are top notch for bands and The MGM for single performers.

If you want to do the clubbing thing, I highly recommend, Pure Nightclub, Rain (at Palms), Ghost Bar (at Palms) and Voo Doo Lounge (at Rio).  You will find a reasonable amount of sexy girls, but get there early or try and get VIP status, otherwise you will find yourself in a really long line.  If you and your buds don’t meet up with any girls but you still feel the need for a little female time, get yourself a lap dance at one of my favorite strip clubs in the country, Club Paradise, just across the street from the Hard Rock.  Again, if you have never been, it is a must!!  In my book, The Straight Man’s Pocket Guide To Picking Up a Hottie-Written by a Woman Who Loves Women, I talk about one super hottie that I met there and dated for awhile.  Although she is no longer working there, I am certain the club still hosts some of the finest entertainers.  I don’t recommend trying to hook up or date the girls, but it never hurts to give a girl your card if you think she is in to you beyond your cash for dances.

Two pieces of advice: Whether you fly or drive, go up on a Thursday and come back Saturday.  The worst ever is having a hang over on a Sunday with all of the other weekend warriors who did the Friday to Sunday trip.  And second, if you gamble, limit yourself to what you spend on that activity.  You will get more for your money doing the other Vegas adventures and won’t blow all of your money in two hours.  So if you are on a strict budget, don’t roll the dice!

Final thoughts- You will not be single forever, so enjoy your single status while you have it.  Enjoy your friends, family, and the things you are passionate about, because remember, this moment is your life.
