The club scene can be overrated, but if you want to treat a date to something special on a Tuesday, head to Kiss Lounge for A Peace of Jazz.

Former Charlotte radio personality Jaye Delai and his wife Monica put together the weekly event and they say they did it for the "grown and sexy."

"I wanted to do something that everybody can do. Something that was going to be upscale and have that look. I wanted to bring that to the table to provide something that people can be proud of. I wanted to create that atmosphere that was right and I wanted to do something with my wife."

So since this is an event started by a couple, it's the perfect place to go as a couple and according to Delai, as a single person too.

"A Peace of Jazz is a great place to take a first date because it will show that man or that woman that this person loves to live life. They have a passion for living and a passion for the finer things in life," said Delai.

And, he said:

"We get an absolute mix of couples and singles."

Over the last couple of weeks, the Delais have notice that there are more single women coming in to the event. (Hint to single men looking for someone to take on a first date.)

There are two hours of live jazz, food and drinks. The music comes from local and national jazz artists.

But when you are single and flooded with images of red hearts and roses, it's enough to make you want to puke.

On Feb. 14th, there won't be a restaurant in Charlotte that you can go to where you won't see couples snuggled up and kissing or hugging. Not even McDonald's. But have no fear, because that man is probably making up for missing her birthday, an anniversary, giving a crappy Christmas gift.

You're probably better off than that couple. [Just say it until you believe it.]

Still, a Saturday night is no reason to sit in your house alone and bored.

Go to the Estate with some of your single girlfriends. You may not find love, but you will surely have a good time.

Get drunk at the Wine Vault's Anti-Valentine's Day Party. There's nothing like a drunken Feb. 14th hook up.

So, if you're single on Feb. 14th. Don't mope about it, get out and kick love in the ass by having a good time.

Lock and Key Events.com is hosting a party that everyone will surely be talking about the next day.

Men and women are invited to attend the Lock and Key Party at BlackFinn Saloon, on Feb. 6th.

Unlike the typical Friday night party, you will meet someone of the opposite sex, who's looking for someone themselves. Every woman gets a lock and every man gets a key. The goal is to match the right lock with the right key. When you make a match, you're then eligible to win prizes and you get a new lock or key to get back into the mix. There are about 12 high end prizes that will be given away throughout the night.

More than 100 people are expected to attend and host, Heather Watkins, said she has gotten great response from potential attendees. And guys, she said she could use some more men to sign up for the party.

"This is the first time we've done it in Charlotte," she said Wednesday morning. "We've had an awesome response. We have few more women so we're trying to get a couple of more men involved. But I have a bunch of guys that I personally know that are coming and bring a couple of friends and that will bring up our number. The BlackFinn is such a popular place that once we get there we're going to have a couple of walk-ins."

Pre-registering has it's advantages. According to the web site, if you register and pay on line, the cost is $20. If you just register in advance online and pay at the door the cost is $25. If you just walk in on Feb. 6 the cost is $30.

"Women are more apt to go online and get their ticket paid," said Watkins. "Men are more like, 'I'll just walk in and take a buddy.'"

Watkins said this party is a non-threatening way to meet the opposite sex, and the locks and keys are the ultimate icebreakers for people to start a conversation.

"Instead of the typical Friday night out where you don't really know who's single and available and who wants to talk, everyone is in the same game together," she said. "Walking up to someone and saying, 'Can I see if your lock fits my key and whether or not it fits?' It's an ice breaker.

The party runs from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Feb. 6. Check in is at 7:30 p.m. If you can't make it to the February party, have no fear. Watkins said there will be another party at Suite in March.
