5. Attending All of Those Spring Parties Sans Date

Spring PartyYes, we've all tired of the phrase "single and ready to mingle" about a century and a half ago, but all of those spring party and gala invitations flooding your mailbox right now really do mean excellent mingling opportunities. Going to an event with a date is great of course, but we'd like to venture that going without one is even better. After all, you never know who you might meet at one of these! The thrill of the unknown, mixed with the fact that everyone's probably dressed to the tens and enjoying copious amounts of champagne, makes for a fabulous night (or two...or three...or ten...who cares, you can do whatever you want now).
