6 Valentine’s day ideas for single

Valentine’s day is one day away and like myself, many of us are still single.  We already know the routine, year after year by ourselves we indulge in things we like to do. Granted we have to pay our way or buy our own gifts but guess what? It’s one of the best investments. I have mastered the art of being single and enjoying Valentine’s day alone, and this isn’t a bad thing. In fact, love doesn’t require one day and on that one day, I can do more for myself than anybody can do for me. Not to knock anyone in a relationship but this day is for singles too. If you aren’t going to be receiving flowers, chocolate, or a teddy bear, it’s ok. I want to highlight 6 Valentine’s day idea for singles:

Rent a movie

Valentine’s day is about love and what more romantic than a movie. Alone you can rent or watch a romantic movie on Netflix or Hulu, or better yet call over the friends and make it an event. I recently watched To all the boys: always and forever, it was a good love-teen watch which can get your Valentine’s day started. If your more into classic then When Harry met Sally, Pretty Woman, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Gentlemen prefer Blonds, Gone with the wind, Pretty in Pink, and the list goes on.

Buy yourself a gift

This one is more like a self-indulgent, treat yourself. Valentine’s day only comes once a year and as a single person, you have to enjoy it.  This could be the time of the year where you treat yourself to something small or something large.  No matter what the gift be it’s special, as it’s coming from you.

Read a good book

Like watching movies if you are more of a reader then, use this day to read a good book. I love to read and try to read as much as possible; sometimes it’s not feasible but if you are off and can read a book, do so. Reading is feeding the mind and this day is a good day to be positive and feed it with good things. One of my favorite books is My shit life: well almost.

Enjoy your friends

If you have friends that are single, then why not enjoy the day together. You guys could enjoy watching movies or reading books together. Valentine’s day isn’t just about a significant other but about feeling love; that could mean with friends. This is a day to celebrate each other and not feel weird by not being in a couple.

Enjoy being single

I know some people may not want to hear this but, there is nothing wrong with being single. This is a day for lovers but being single is also a blessing. Who wants to be with someone just for a holiday or invest time in something that is going anywhere? Being single isn’t always a bad thing, as you always have time for yourself.  Being in a relationship shouldn’t be seen as a thing because everyone is in one but because it right for you and the person, there is no rush to be in a relationship.

Treat yourself to dinner

Whether it be cook for yourself or go to dinner by yourself. Enjoy dinner by yourself, after all this is the day you have to spend with yourself, so enjoy.
