Valentine’s Day Celebration Ideas for Singles
We have all at one point or another been unattached on Valentine’s Day; the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that more than 80 million people will be single on V- day. Some even go so far as to call it “Singles Awareness Day” due to the fact that on Valentine’s Day a person’s single status is more apparent than it normally would be on any other day of the year. But singles don’t need to be alone on Valentine’s Day just because they are not in a relationship, the 14th can be a great day to celebrate with friends.
1. Have a girl’s night out and celebrate your freedom with other single women. Go out for dinner and drinks and declare it a “Man free night”, which means no moping or complaining about past love, just lots of girl time fun and gossip.
2. Many clubs and bars have singles nights on Valentine’s Day. In a club men and women who are not out on romantic dates can get together and party. So get dressed up in your best club wear, go out with your girls, and meet other singles in a fun and adventurous setting. Find clubs in your area on the web.
3. Lot’s of women are known to send themselves flowers and candy on Valentine’s Day, to feel better about not receiving anything. Try having a “Secret Santa” of sorts for Valentine’s with your girlfriends, so that each of you can receive a special small gift.
4. On a day that you may be feeling a little down on yourself trying volunteering or donating to help those in need. Nothing makes a person feel better than the feeling of helping others. It is proven that volunteers are healthier and live longer than those that don’t volunteer.
5. Go for a run or to the gym. It is proven that exercise makes a person feel better, and just maybe, you may get the confidence you need to meet someone. Not to mention exercise makes your skin look better and you will sleep better too.
6. Have a sexy man movie fest. Get your girls together and watch movies staring your favorite sexy actors. Have a fun time with the ladies, while drooling over some gorgeous guys. Double the fun with cocktails!
7. Host a singles party. Have everyone bring a friend and let your single friends meet, hang out, and mingle. With more people, there is more of a chance you or your friends could meet someone. Have Valentine’s theme drinks, foods and play fun, upbeat music.
8. Catch up on your rest. Stay home and relax in a nice bath, watch TV, and get to bed early. Imagine how great you will feel after a full night of rest.
9. Have a date night with yourself. Rent your favorite movie, order your favorite takeout,, and put on your favorite pajamas.
10. Book a day at the spa. Spend the money you would normally spend on a boyfriend, on yourself. Get yourself all of the essentials, a facial, pedicure, manicure, or even get your hair done. You’ll end your day feeling and looking great!
