Single's Guide To Valentine's Day

[Anonymous]

Don't be so quick to feel sorry for yourself and claim 'Singles' Awareness Day' on Valentine's Day, spending the Hallmark holiday alone can be refreshing!

If you are planning on spending Valentine's Day with someone this year, we've got you covered with date ideas and a little something extra for post-date activities!

Now back to business, spending the holiday of love alone, actually makes sense, because who doesn't have have unconditional love for yourself? You can be selfless, but sometimes you get to spoil yourself and be a little selfish; why not on Valentine's Day?

1. Spoil & Splurge

Take the money you would normally spend on someone else and spend it on YOURSELF! Have some "me time," better yet, have a "me day!" Get yourself something you've been eyeing for a while.

2. Throw A Party

Have a party or attend a party and enjoy the free food and drinks! Maybe you'll get lucky and run into some single prospects as well!

3. Chill Out

Stay home and relax! You can save the money that you'd spend on presents or steak for someone else and put it in the bank.

4. Singles Night Out

You are bound to have some single friends right? Call them up and hit the town!

5. Indulge In Your Guilty Pleasure

Whether it's gym time, gardening, drawing or whatever you claim to do in your free time, but have not been doing, pick it back up on Valentine's Day!

6. Take A Trip

Whether you explore a new city or visit some out of town family or friends, take a stay-cation or vacation.

7. It's Just Another Day

Just because everybody else celebrates love on Valentine's Day doesn't mean you have to as well! Love should be celebrated 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year!

8. Secret Admirer

Similar to Secret Santa, you and your single friends without Valentine's can draw numbers, names, whatever to be each other's secret admirer. That way you can deliver chocolate, flowers, etc. to each other, making Valentine's Day a little more bearable!

9. Self Evaluation

Think about why you are single and if that's how you want it to stay. If you are looking for a relationship, think about some things you can or can not do to move towards being in a relationship.

10. Eat Your Heart Out

Whether it is junk food or binge eating, go ahead and chow down on Valentine's Day. You deserve it and the best part is you don't have to share!

Will you be spending Valentine's Day with a partner or all by yourself? What are your plans?

As a single guy it would have been much easier if i didn't have to see all these valentine questions featured reminding me i am single.
No offense to you angel, your obviously trying to do a good job providing interesting content for the site but for me its way to much and made me want to avoid the site until after valentine.

[R3d_Anonymous]

Exactly man.

[miserybusiness]

I'd add "masturbate furiously" onto the list.

But I suppose that could fall under "indulge in your guilty pleasure"... hahahaha

[Entrieton]

HAHAHAHA!!!

[singlebee]

Hahaha

In Korea they celebrate 3 holidays that are like Valentine's day:
Feb. 14: Valentine's Day- Girls give guys gifts
March 14: White Day-Men give girls gifts
April 14: Black Day- Single people get together and eat jajangmyeon/자장면 (black soybean noodles)
I always look forward to black day, me and my best friend (who informed me of this day, since she just moved here from Korea 3 years ago) always get 자장면 its great to be single!

Sounds too racist for America (I know it isn't but Americans are stupid).

[Sinister]

@MaiNameIsSunshine - That sounds fucking dope!

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

@Arnelle, not all americans are stupid but they are fairly racist and hypocritical.

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

@Sinister, it is!

[YourFutureEx]

Good take :)
But I won't do anything because I don't care about that day. If two people love each other then they don't need to show or wait for a specific day. They should celebrate Valentine's 'year' instead of Valentine's 'day'
Anyway, this will motivate singles to do something.

Shameless alcohol promotion - Check

Shameless money blowing promotion - Check

Shameless gluttony promotion - Check

Shameless partying promotion - Check

All in all, a great start to the check list of How to Shorten Your Lifespan by 55 years.

It will be pretty much like any other day. I never understood Valentine's Day. Love is supposed to be 24 hours 7 days a week 365 days a year like one part mentioned. But it makes me wanna be with family even more even though my brothers birthday is on the 19th with a party possibly

[performerwannabe]

I'm probably going to be eating junk food all day long... Bad thing is at the same time I will be studying! Nice way to spend Valentine's Day, don't you think? (Yeah, I'm single).

[Prettykangaroos]

I agree with the eat your heart out. I'm not even single (although sometimes it's hard to tell) and I eat pizza every time I feel lonely, which is a lot lately. :(

[singlebee]

Dont eat too much off pizza or else you will get fat!!

[xcassiopeia]

I'll be spending Valentine's day studying, playing video games and going to the gym

[linkywinky]

My plans? Bubble bath and copious amounts of video games.

[singlebee]

You love video games? wow so whats your fav game? Battlefield, cod, NFS or what?

[complicated_soul]

I like going shopping because they bring really cute things in the store!
Awesome decors and all.

There are girls I'm seeing but I'm not in a relationship. No I'm not a player, but Im just testing the field especially because I met these girls online.

I could care less about Valentine's day. Not pro or anti Valentine's day.

[meatballs21]

Some of these ideas are really unhealthy; mentally or physically.

[Entrieton]

I'm planning on hitting the town on Valentine's day and try to find a single girl, at least find someone to have a drink with. I will pig out too.

[SecretSomeone]

Valentine's day, the day me and my ex celebrated not knowing when it actually is.

[Kshppatel]

Lol I'll just do what I normally do on any other day

[tenofthepeaks]

i don't care...

i use it as means to get a date...

or not care about superfluous holidays promoted by pop culture...

[Anonymous]

I'll definitely be trying some of these this year lol

[Anonymous]

Fuck that day, I hate that day. You know how it's difficult to survive on that day for a person with SA.

[SoccerMan_987]

I'll be spending my time studying for my exam, reading a good book, and going for a run. .

[p0rtis26]

I'll have to give my mom a call...

[abundantlyrich]

I like everything except the going out part.
