Okay, so it's Friday night in Tampa. I'm by myself, I don't drive, I live in Hyde Park,and I don't want to go to a bar. Any ideas of what to do in this town? My complaint about Tampa -- no scene for singles outside of binge drinking in bars!!

What would you consider a singles scene in any other town? I haven't been single for many years, but back in the day I mostly went to bars or clubs. Since you specifically mention Friday night, that would be my assumption where singles would go.

You don't drive. I think that is your main problem.

Thanks for the resonses guys. I don't drink so much either...I used to, hence that fact that I can't drive until October

In the end, I'm going to call a few friends and see if I can tag along on what they're doing, even though I know it's going to be "let's go to this bar or that bar." My M.O. at bars now is to drink water and soda and maybe a beer or a martini (LOVE LOVE Saphire Martinis!).

You need a friend who likes to do more cultured and interesting things besides go to bars. I had a problem similar to yours (not getting out of the house) until I made a few friends who showed me there's more to do on weekends then just going to a movie.

Well, if you're ever in Brandon, you can drag race punk teens in their tricked out Hondas on Brandon Blvd. / Adamo / 60. I guess you'll have to wait until Oct. Fun time.
