I don’t usually believe in love at first sight, but I’ll make an exception for a bottomless brunch with unlimited beer/Prosecco. Love is in the air this weekend—along with the smell of desperation from the last-minute flower buyers. You could stay home and try the Netflix and chill approach if you’re broke but confident, or stay ahead of the curve and check out our suggested events below. In case you’re single, don’t worry—we’ve got a few suggestions for you too.
