Curse your dateless weekends no more. The trick to spending a satisfying Saturday night alone is simple: Be your own date, but be the very best date you've ever had. Take charge of treating yourself right! These 10 tips will get you started:

1. Realize that it's his loss that he hasn't found you yet.

2. Clean a closet, drawer or file. Never underestimate the power of creating order. External order breeds internal order.

3. Cook a fabulous meal. Set the table. Light candles. Enjoy your company. Thank your lucky stars that you are not out with a pompous bore.

4. Work out. Strength begets strength.

5. Paint a room. Transform your home into an oasis. If this project seems too daunting, start small. Buy big, fluffy towels in your favorite color.

6. Take a candlelight bubble bath. Drink champagne while you're doing it. Pink lemonade will do, as long as you drink it from elegant stemware.

7. Sign up for a class -- make sure it's fascinating. Knowledge is a wonderful thing.
