BEST entertainment/art/food venues for a single person?

[Samsoner]

Whats up,

I work in retail. New to the area, and I moved from Houston itself to Pearland this year with my relatives.

I love Pearland so far, especially since I had gotten a job at their new shopping center.

But at times it makes me wish that I *shudder* was older, had a wife and a family because I nearly stick out like a sore thumb when I go to certain places like Red Robins to eat lunch or a dinner after work.

And then I went to Sam's Boat one time and all I saw were couples, or groups of couples and not a single woman there. No one looked at me strange, but I still felt awkward being there without my group.

So are there any Houston venues during the afternoon/evening hours (on Fridays/Sundays since I work Saturday) where single people can meet and do something together? Thanks

they started up mixers and elixers a few weeks ago which sounds like it may be up your alley.
