How To Celebrate Valentine’s Day If You’re Single AF

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, your omnipresent single-ness is bound to be at the back of your mind constantly. How are you supposed to get through an entire day of coming face-to-face with one lovesick couple after another? And let’s not forget the weeks leading up to the day are a literal nightmare!

Valentine’s day might be special if you have someone special in your life, but for those that don’t, it can be torturous. Unless, you know just the right way to spend the day so you can minimize the level of suck it brings. It might take a bit of imagination, but it’s certainly not impossible!

Here are a few creative ways in which you can “celebrate” Valentine’s Day if you’re single AF:

1. Throw A Singles Only Party

Valentine’s Day is a day that makes all the single people feel like they’re being left out of some elite club. So you should throw a single’s only party and invite only your single friends! You guys can have fun together and enjoy yourselves as singles without any commitments do. Wooho!

2. Enjoy Some Alone Time

Some of us choose to be alone, so if you’re single and not ready to mingle, enjoy your life and your independence by spending some much needed alone time. Going out will throw all those lovey-dovey couples in your face and that’s probably not something you want right now. Stay in, pop your favorite movie on, snuggle up in your comfiest pajamas, order your favorite food, and just relax.

3. Go on a Blind Date

But then there are some of us who are single and definitely ready to mingle. You might be longing for a relationship, someone to share your life with. Ask your friends if there’s someone they can set you up with or just go with good old online dating. Valentine’s day might seem like an odd day to have a first date, but think of how great of a story it would be to tell your kids someday… if it works out.

And if it doesn’t… oh, well.
