Fuck Valentine’s Day.
Everyone is coupled and you’re left thinking, “What do I do on February 14th when all of my friends are taken and I’m not?”
1. Galentine’s Day on February 13th is a thing.
And it’s equally as important as Valentine’s Day if not more, so.
2. Go the movies and put as much butter on your popcorn as you want
Fifty Shades Darker comes out the weekend before V-Day, and you don’t need me to tell you that seeing Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson get kinky on-screen is a great way to spend the holiday…even if you’re alone!
It’s also worth knowing that February has the best horror movies so…there’s that.
3. Find another single friend (even if you aren’t super close) and have a night out
Slut. It. Up.
4. Spend the night in with your favorite romance novel or romantic comedy
Sure, you might be alone, but the people in Carly Phillips’ and Nora Roberts’ novels aren’t and you know that Kate Hudson is going to get the guy in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
Vicarious relationships totally count when you’re single.
5. Pinterest DIY’s are more fun than dinner and drinks anyway.
There’s probably a million things that you’ve been putting off that you’d rather do than spend V-Day thinking about being sad!
6. Enjoy yourself by going on a mini-shopping spree
Don’t have anyone to wear sexy lingerie for? Wear it for your damn self!
7. Treat yo’ self to a spa night at home
After you relax in the bath with your mask on, give yourself a mani-pedi. It’s amazing what a little relaxation does to eliminate the V-Day blues.
Even if you cocoon up in the blankets and cry all night, you can enjoy the next national holiday: Half-Price Chocolate Day on February 15th.
