How to Go Dateless on Valentine’s Day

I can’t really fathom the concept that there are people out there who have spent every last Valentine’s Day of their lives ensconced in the arms of someone they adored, so if you’re one of those whose love life is currently in a holding pattern and you’re hating it, take heart! Not only are there legions of other singles out there wishing they had hot dates too, many more people (single and otherwise) are sick of the whole affair and just wish the V Day would die already. It’s by no means a universally beloved holiday, so don’t let it get you down. But if you are feeling blue by how much red and pink is around, here are some ideas for how you can still have a great time on Valentine’s Day while single.

First of all, you probably know other single people in the same boat, so you can plan a group session like a day spent at the spa or an evening hanging out at a coffee shop. You could also host a game night or some other kind of party, like a wine tasting or a poker night. Or perhaps you might plan a movie night that celebrates anti-happily-ever-after yet still romantic movies, many of which you can find suggested in this recent FanStuff post. Or to take it to an even more extreme level, sample some slasher flicks to really take your mind off the love-fest going on in the world around you.

But most of all, remember to treat yourself well on Valentine’s Day and don’t spend time fretting about being dateless. It’s OK, we’ve all been there at one time or another. Whether you’re comfortable with being single or you wish there was someone special in your life, just enjoy and celebrate your current circumstance. Given a little reflection, chances are excellent you’ll find a lot to be happy about. And don’t forget to follow How-to Stuff on Facebook and Twitter.
