This may be the un-popular opinion but being single for Valentines Day doesn’t have to be a bad thing. We have been seeing a lot of posts about how you guys are going to be single (and depressed) for Valentines day, but don’t worry we wouldn’t leave you guys lonely and miserable. All the models submitted ideas that we complied into a list of things all you single peeps can do for Valentines Day this year. If that’s not enough you can always catch our belated Valentines Day Ustream and chat with us live
1 Splurge on yourself- Now that you don’t have to buy a gift for someone else on Valentines day you have money that you can spend on yourself. Buy something nice that you wouldn’t normally have money to get or spend the money pampering yourself with a mani, pedi, and massage.
2 Have a girl’s night- Invite your single girl friends out to dinner and have a girl’s night or invite your friends to lunch since most couples Valentines plans are in the evening. You can also go bowling or go out dancing. Ber suggests karaoke (she’s addicted).
3 Flirt- Your single so you can flirt all you want. Go out with some other single friends and have fun flirting just because you can. Lot’s of people go out single on Valentines Day in hopes of meeting someone, use that to your advantage. If you are feeling really adventurous kiss a stranger and see what happens…. Just make sure he’s single first!
4 Have a cuddle party- I don’t know exactly when this trend started but I have started seeing more and more cuddle parties posted on social networking sites. Basically someone decides to host the party at their house and puts out an invite to friends to come over and watch movies and cuddle.
5 Ignore it- If worse comes to worse you can always hide your calendar, stay home, and just pretend it’s the same as any other day.
6 Hang out with people you love like your family- Watch movies, make dinner together, or just reminisce about the old times. Having fun with people you love is a great way to forget that you don’t have a significant other.
7 Host your own party- Invite all your single friends over for a party. Mix and mingle and by the end of the night you might not be single anymore.
8 Have some “me time”- Take a cooking class or paint something, whatever it is you have always wanted to do but just never had time for. If everyone else is busy for Valentines day they won’t be bugging you to do things for them so you will have that extra free time to do what you want. It’ll make you feel like you accomplished something and the day will be a good day.
9 Make some money off of it- All those people that are annoying you with their kisses and baby talk are about to make you some money. Capitalize off of couples and the holiday by using your talents to make yourself some extra cash. Make and sell Valentines or other crafty things for those that want the homemade look but don’t have the artistic ability to make them. Take photos for couples, teach dance lessons to guys that want to impress their girlfriends (tip you can learn some easy dance moves on youtube), draw portraits or caricatures of couples, sell flowers and balloon bouquets, offer advice like what they can get as a gift or where they can take their date, etc. make heart shaped sugar cookies and sell them, offer to deliver val-a-grams, and the best one of all make chocolate covered strawberries. We make them every year. They are a big hit and you can sell them for a ton!
10 Read a book- It’s a great way to take your mind off of everything and escape the real world for a little while.
11 Volunteer- Helping others always makes me feel better when I’m down. You can volunteer to walk the dogs at the animal shelter, call the nursing home ahead of time for a list of residents that rarely get mail or visitors and surprise them by bring them a card, make dinner for the families who have children in the hospital at the Ronald McDonald house….Valentines day is a celebration of love, not just the love between couples so show the people you love how much you care about them and spread that love to others. You’ll feel great.
12 Do a "secret santa" style gift exchange- Just like on christmas when you do put everyone's name into a bowl and draw out a name for secret santa you can do a secret cupid. Everyone who wants to participate (single or not) can put their name into the bowl. You can make valentines or exchange small gifts and candy for the person who's name you draw.
So there you have it. Now stop whining, get out there, and enjoy your Valentines Day
