How do single people spend valentines day?

[DanielAppleton15]

I'm currently single and I've never had a relationship or done any kind of dating. I definitely have a small desire for a relationship but I don't think I'm ready for anything too major or serious.

As you can probably guess from this, I've never really done anything specific for valentines day before. However this year I'm interested in doing something for valentines as a single guy. What are peoples ideas, and if you're single, what's your go-to thing to do on valentines day?

Do the same thing you would any other day

Go on a weekend away with family or freinds

Go on a bar crawl

Go to your favourite restaurant

Go on a date with your best friend

Have a night in binging TV

I used to have a party or go out with friends. One year we did an anti-valentines day at a shooting range. One year we had a great British baking show party. One year we organized our own stoplight party. We always had fun. It's good to spend the day with people you love, even if it's not a romantic kind of love!

Angry feminist

[parjacpar]

Nothing wrong with having fun with friends

[Insightfull]

@Stephen_77 this doesn't at all look like "angry feminist"...

[Stephen_77]

@Insightfull It does to me

[MorticiAddams]

I prefer cheery feminist! ;)

[Insightfull]

@Stephen_77 I see... what about this sounds like an angry feminist to you? I honestly don't see it..
The anti-valentines day shooting range? That's the only thing I could imagine, but tons of people of both sexes have anti-valentines days

[Insightfull]

@MorticiAddams cheery feminist! Oh I like you 😘

[Insightfull]

@MorticiAddams oh! I see you're married. Well, then, the 😘 is for cheery feminists in general

Usually for valentines day I pamper myself 😂 I always get a nice soap for my bath and a bath bomb. Then I'll makw myself a nice dinner and watch either comedies or romantic films with my dog. However this year I'm staying at my best friend's house.

[Billy96]

Awe that's sweet
I never knew girls did that in V. Day
I just listen to music and think 😹😂

U r born to vote only.

[AimeeEllenn]

😂 😂

[parjacpar]

I used to buy my mum something and give it her in person. Normally flowers but did that on other days of year

[parjacpar]

This year I'll be buying for 2 ladies that work together mainly to say thanks for help and your appricated.

They work together and I have a regular appointment with one of them

[SovietBall]

@AimeeEllenn I did exactly the same thing yesterday, reading romantic novels while listening to Sam Cooke to frustrate myself furthermore and I pampered my cat with his favorite wet food😂

[adolescentswede]

I had an idea to donate some money for research about hearth disease.
Valentines is translated to all hearts day in swedish

[My_Name_is]

You know what personally just do whatever you want I just like every other day for single people like us

[mistixs]

What I did today:
- Woke up
- Ignored the text messages from guys saying "happy Valentine's Day" because I didn't want them to ask to meet up (I live on-campus now so I don't have much of an excuse)
- Ate Mac and Cheese (I woke up at 1pm)
- Got my bag and suitcase ready to go home for the weekend
- Went to go eat lunch; collected apples to bring home bc my sister wants them
- Took an uber home
- Put apples in the fridge for my sister
- Went to sleep bc I only got a few hours of sleep last night bc I went to bed late & had to be up early (yes 1pm is early for me)

I pretty much do the same thing I would any other day. That was actually how I preferred to keep it in relationships as well, but the guy was always super wrapped up in it (I actually forgot about Valentine's Day in my first relationship until the very last minute, lol).

Otherwise, I look forward to the day after candy sale. I love assorted chocolates!

This year, however, I'm spending a couple of days with a friend, though it's not really a Valentine's Day thing, but more of a Friday night/weekend thing. It's going to be fun!

[Matt3]

masterbating

[aWes0MeNeSs]

@Matt3 No, that's not what my friend or I will be doing, lol.

[jennifer_bloom]

I don't have the freedom to do this anymore since my boss always gives me unpleasant hours but before I got this job - I would spend every major holiday I could afford dining out during holidays - not all the time but maybe a valentines day or two I'd visit a nacho place for dinner

[DanielAppleton15]

Hope you can find a free day to do your desired Valentine’s Day.

[AudreyB88]

I am going to play video games, and cook dinner. I've always wanted to bake Valentine's day themed cupcakes and have a cupcake sale.

[akmoses]

I'm with you sis

[pervertedjester]

Today's the day for it.

[BlessedDaddy]

They spend it as always. Oblivious to it's origen and true meaning.

Lupercalia, which is now V-day, was a festival of purity started by the Pope at the time who was pressured by the Roman empire to change it, not abolish it. Technically, that means Christians are celebrating a Roman Festival. Even Cesar wash his hands of Jesus death. Damn.

So the Pope, who leads and represents leaders of the church such as pedophiles who call themselves priests and men of God. Mutated this day from a festival of purity so we could fuck people and have a nice dinner as priests molest young boys? Do you think the boys get candy and dinner or just a cock to suck and a nice ass fucking?

[Wintergrace]

I dropped by a cafe (just give yourself a little treat). Then I ate chocolates. I usually just let people know I love and appreciate them as friends and family. Tomorrow I’m having a “Galentine’s Day” brunch. This will probably include taking advantage of the half priced chocolates.

[little_bird1]

It's not even a holiday where I am. Didn't notice it was Valentine's until I came here today, lol. It's just a day like any other when couples wish each other happy Valentine's and maybe gift each other. All in private. I don't have an SO so Valentine's day for is invisible, just like any other day.

[Evilcharlie]

Just another day marketed to make people believe there's another day they should spend money on love ones. Roses are ridiculously overpriced. My mother hated getting a dozen roses her birthday or Valentine's day when she would rather you buy her a rose bush that she could plant in the yard so she can enjoy it all year long and that's exactly what I got her every Valentine's day. I would try to find different colors and varieties each time.

😍😍😍😍😍

[parjacpar]

Not v hood idea to post things like that seeing as kids use this

[JackSmy]

Asking the married ladies what their husbands have planned, for Valentine's and hearing a lot of NOTHING!! Them feeling forgotten, unloved, maybe?
Flirting with the single ladies, and giving them little boxes of home-made candies and cookies.

[spuitkaas]

I have an exam that day and entrance exams the next 2 days. Y'all are privileged to be able to do anything on valentines. I'm going to kiss my books instead.

[DanielAppleton15]

Hope the exams go well

[spuitkaas]

Thanks!

[AlexBlack007]

Eh... just another regular day for me. But I am thinking of opening a small shop from next year where I'll sell roses, teddy bears and chocolates during Valentine's week. Good business I hear. 😋

[Unit1]

And valentines day themed condoms

[AlexBlack007]

Oh hell yeah! 😆

[theronaldmcdonald]

Going out to take advantage of the deals at a restaurant with my best friend this year. Then I’m having a movie night by myself tonight. Tomorrow— discount chocolate 🙈

[Dargil]

Laundromat. Food store. Netflix and if the weather's good...

[Queenista]

Go to some places where Valentine day is being celebrated, who knows you may bump into someone special 😉

[Lily-bardot]

I spend it doing exactly what I want when I want just like every other day, that's why I like being single.

[pajamasam]

We hit on people we didn't know had boyfriends and then pretend we aren't embarassed.

[blkgold33]

By just treating it like it another day honestly. I don't even know what day is Valentine's day 😂😂

[TheLastBandito]

I treat it like a normal day, I never had a girlfriend during that day and no one ever wanted to do something
