Women live busy lives and often the first thing we neglect, in an effort to attain “balance” in our lives, is our girlfriends. But where is the balance when we forget to include those supportive and cherished friendships that help us get through that stressful day, get over that tough break-up and look forward to that amazing outing we have planned on the weekend? We should never let ourselves get too busy for that! The Girls Nite Out Club is a Toronto based social club for women of all ages that provides a unique opportunity to meet other women with common interests while living up the Toronto experience.
The club is a social club and as with any social environment you will get out of it what you put into it. Members are encouraged to interact and exchange contact information for get togethers outside of structured club activities. The club attracts positive women who are looking to expand their social networks and to try new things in a safe and welcoming environment.
The Girls Nite Out Club offers you just that. The opportunity to meet women, who just need to hang out with the girls, chat, giggle and relax. Whether you’re going to a movie, enjoying a play, doing a craft or taking a trip, you’ll find yourself surrounded by amazing women that you may never have met otherwise. It’s a new beginning. Explore your interests while giving yourself a chance to expand your social network.
Finally, the weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and there is plenty to do around the city both indoors and out! Here are some interesting events taking place throughout the city this weekend. A great date idea, go solo or make a date with your mom for Mother’s Day this Sunday.

Hello readers!
I just got an email from Habitat for Humanity a few moments ago for those Confidently Singles looking to participate in a worthwhile cause AND get out to expand their social circle. Habitat for Humanity is having a singles build in Toronto this coming Valentines day (Feb14 from 8:30-4pm) which includes lunch, prizes and a full day of meeting other determined singles! Each participant will need to bring a minimum of $200 in pledges and another person of the opposite sex in order to participate.
I like that idea of bringing another gender to the group for those who’re a bit shy to go by themselves and so that there would be a good balance of people to meet! 
But if you can’t make it for the singles build, there’s also a Second Shot at Love happening at the Drake hotel on the evening of Tuesday February 17th. Tickets are $10 if you buy early or $15 at the door.
Here’s the link to the Toronto build, and here’s a link to find a Habitat for Humanity near you (there are single’s events happening in other cities outside of Toronto too!)
