D.I.Y Dating Cocktail

Nightlife Oasis

Dancing the night away and getting my drink on at a club used to be the perfect idea of a fun night on the town.  However, there comes a time when what was once an exciting nightlife, just isn’t as much fun as it use to be.  The crowd isn’t as lively, available cuties are nonexistent, and the DJ isn’t rocking any good booty shaking music. 

So, why has something that use to bring so much pleasure lost its zest?  Turns out it’s not the club, it’s you!  It isn’t that times have changed, it’s the fact that you have.  The key to getting your groove back is reinterpreting your new idea of fun to match the lifestyle and attitudes you currently possess. The flavor of fun is so much sweeter when you know what activities satisfy your appetite!
