Hitting the Bars Single 🍸

What to Wear? Flaunt it, but Comfort First! 😍

First things first: Wear what makes YOU feel amazing! Confidence is your best accessory, so pick out that outfit where you feel like a goddess. Remember, though, those stilettos might look super glam, but if you’re tiptoeing in pain by 10 pm, you might miss your Cinderella moment. So, aim for a balance between sizzling and snug. How about those stylish block heels that don’t feel like walking on knives? Pair them with a chic little black dress or those curve-hugging jeans and you’re golden!

Stay Safe & Smart

No matter how adventurous you are, safety should always be a priority. Before stepping out, let a close friend know where you’re heading. Even better, drop a live location pin. Make sure your phone is fully charged, and keep a power bank handy. And darling, just because we’re in the age of Ubers and Lyfts, always have some emergency cab money stashed in your bag. Remember, James Bond is cool, but being a girl with a plan is cooler!

Getting Those Drinks Paid For, The Classy Way

Who doesn’t love a free drink? But here’s the thing: You don’t want to seem like you’re just in it for the booze. Instead, be genuinely interested in the conversation. Smile, make eye contact, and if someone offers to buy you a drink, graciously accept, but also engage with them. And never, ever leave your drink unattended. In fact, it’s always best to get it straight from the bartender. That way, you’re safe and sipping in style!

Conversation Starters & Breakers

The advantage of being alone is that you’re more approachable. But if you’re worried about breaking the ice, here’s a fun tip: Bring a quirky accessory or a statement piece, maybe a hat or a funky bag. It’s an instant conversation starter! “Oh this? I picked it up from my solo trip to Bali!” Now, not only do you have an opening line, but you’re also the intriguing world traveler in the room.

On the flip side, if someone isn’t sparking joy (Marie Kondo style), it’s okay to excuse yourself. “It was lovely chatting! I see a friend over there. Have a great night!” You’re not glued to anyone, so feel empowered to move on when you want.

Go Home When YOU Want To

If you’ve found a handsome gent you’re vibing with and decide to take things outside the bar, trust your instincts but be cautious. A well-lit public spot for a late-night snack or a dance at another club is always a good next step. If you’re thinking of something more intimate, consider booking a reputable ride service for both of you, ensuring you share your location with a friend. The key is to always have control over where you’re headed.

Parting Thoughts

Going out solo is all about embracing your independence, exploring the scene, and maybe even finding some cool company along the way. Remember, you’re a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need a wing-woman to have fun. So, here’s to solo adventures, new friendships, and maybe even a little romance. Cheers to you! 🥂
