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

7. Secret Valentine

The concept of a secret Valentine works the same way a secret Santa does. Gather up all your single friends, and draw names anonymously to get each other gifts. And on V-day, just pile ’em together so everyone can pick out the one with their name on it.

Everyone knows the best part of Valentine’s day is the present, so you get to have that anyway. And this way you can eliminate all the emotional baggage it comes with!

8. Visit The Animal Shelter

Just because you’re alone, doesn’t mean you have to be alone. Fed up of the disappointment that humans bring you? Take yourself to the local shelter and spend some time with gorgeous animals! They definitely won’t tell you they’ll call in the morning and then conveniently lose your number.

Hey, who knows, maybe you might even find yourself a friend to take home with. And then you won’t be alone anymore!

9. Treat Yourself

You’re strong, independent person who doesn’t need another person to validate you. You also don’t need someone else to pamper you, you can do it yourself! You enjoy being single, so why should you let this day get you down?

If there’s been a new restaurant you’ve been wanting to try, take yourself there. You could invite another single friend to go with you. Want those V-day chocolates or that fluffy teddy bear at the supermarket? Guess what, you can buy it for yourself!
