Valentine's Day For Singles

6272
15

Whether you think Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year or a silly holiday created by greeting card companies, it's here and everyone expects you to have someone special to spend the day with. What if you don't? What then? Should you crawl under the covers, light some candles, listen to love songs, and cry all day? No way! You're young, beautiful, and single. Let's celebrate Valentine's Day for singles this year!

What's so great about being single on V Day? Let's turn that question around. What's NOT great about being single on V Day? Here are some reasons you should love having a Valentine's Day for singles:

You don't have to worry about buying the "perfect" gift for your boyfriend.
No need to stress about the money you'll spend on an expensive restaurant.
Instead of focusing on being alone, you can spend this Valentine's Day focusing on all the reasons you love yourself!

Are your friends single, too? Awesome! Plan to spend the night together. You can go out dancing, get dinner, go shopping, or see a movie.

Short on cash, but big on love for your BFFs? Plan to meet at a friend's house and have a potluck dinner where each gal brings a delish dish. Or you could cook dinner together. Set the table with an extra-special tablecloth and use the good china. Light some candles, and voila! You have an awesomely yummy dinner for all. Ask the parents for permission first before you make these big plans.

It's OK if all of your friends have plans for V Day. Don't think you're a loser or that no one loves you if you don't. People place a lot of importance on Valentine's Day, but it's just another day! Just because you don't have a date on February 14, doesn't mean anyone loves you any less today than they did on the 13th.

Valentine's Day is a great excuse to pamper yourself. Get a manicure, indulge in your favorite foods, dance like a maniac around your bedroom to your fave music, or do anything that makes you happy.

Here are some things NOT to do, unless you want your Valentine's Day to be ruined:

Listen to sappy music and think about the boyfriend you don't have.
Watch a love story; stick to comedies or action flicks.
Lay in bed all day.
Mope around feeling sorry for yourself.
Call an ex-boyfriend.

Valentine's Day is what I would like to call a "Hallmark Holiday" meaning, it isn't actually a real holiday. It's just a stupid reason to get a card and splurge on someone. So, It's fine to be single on Valentine's Day. It's pointless.

When you're single, you have more freedom than when you have a boyfriend because you don't have to worry about buying gifts and you can buy stuff for yourself

I know it sucks being single on V-day. It was a rough day especially since I am deeply in love with a crush but I turned it around! I ate chocolate and danced all day. I felt free! When I had my boyfriend I wasn't myself and felt trapped inside an unhappy love! On V-day it was awesome because nobody was holding me back and I could actually flirt with guys! Sure I would much wrather have a boyfriend but I still had fun!

Im perfectly fine about being single now.... Before i couldnt stand it cause i wanted to be close to someone and i wanted to feel happy.... Truth is... im depressed... and i've had MAJOR problems with dating guys that i know but i dont want to date a guy that i dont know cause then he may break my heart... and my hearts been broken.. ALOT!!! One guy said he loved me but then said it was peer pressure >:(

Whoops- I was reading this really awesome romance novel yesterday. Oh well- even if I didn't have a date, it was still a pretty good book. :-)

It's hard to get over being single on V day when your friends have boyfriends, or talking about their crushes.. And then seeing my crush all day on February 14th is what killed me -.-
