What should singles do for Valentine's Day?

Answer 1

Being single on Valentine's Day does not mean you have to sit sadly at home alone, binge on chocolate, and watch sappy movies. Get out and have a good time!

Make it a mission to hand out a card or small token to everyone that makes your day a little better throughout the year. Your coworkers, the girl at the coffee shop, that guy in the lobby that always says hello... It is a good way to get some smiles, and that can brighten the day.

Throw a party. If you have some single friends, they may be trying to figure out how to spend their day as well. Team up with a friend and get everyone together. Everyone can play some games, listen to some music, and have a couple of drinks. It doesn't even have to be Valentine's themed.

Spread some love with the little people that love you. Go pick up your nieces, nephews, or close friend's kids for an evening on the town. Make them your Valentine's "date." You can make them feel incredibly special, and give their mom and dad a night alone. You can even pick them up with flowers and candy. Don't forget the older people in your life as well. It may have been years since grandma had someone think of her on Valentine's Day. She may really appreciate the evening out. Use the day to let someone that may be overlooked know that they are valued.

Take your best single friend, and go do something. Depending on your interest, pedicures, batting cages, go carts, or hitting the movies could be a good way to pass a few hours.

If you really don't feel like being around anyone, go get yourself a treat. Take yourself to dinner, and then splurge on something that you normally wouldn't. Don't break the bank, but pick up a small treat that you would usually put off. High heels, iPods, and sports gear are all nice extras.
