Valentine's Day. A holiday that can elicit paroxysms of the most unpleasant kind and that's second only to New Year's Eve in its expectation/expense-to-disappointment/denial ratio. For all you on-the-go singles, why not take the high road and reclaim romance for the real world? This year, instead of playing the part of she-who-doth-protest-too-much, try FastLife, the world's leading speed-dating service. We know, we know, sounds a bit cliché and desperate? We swear this one is different: sophisticated, stylish and super fun, you get to enjoy scintillating conversation with stand-up guys in a seriously sexy environment (I tried out the love fest at Foundation Room, with their delicious cocktails and luscious libations). Registration is free, which lands it firmly in the nothing-to-lose but your single girl status category.
