I’m just going to say it— I don’t care about Valentine’s Day. I don’t. I never have, and I never will. It’s a holiday created by companies to get you to spend money on gifts and dinner for your significant other. If you’re single, you’re forced to look at all of the Instagram posts and stories of everyone having fun.
But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a ton of fun if you’re single! There are so many ways you can make this v-day the best ever, even if you’re single!

Spend time with your friends
My friends and I are going out and splurging on each other for Valentine’s Day. We’re all single, so it gives us the perfect opportunity to make sure we all feel loved.
Pizza or sushi is always a winner, or you can have a night in and get Chinese or Thai food. Since Valentine’s Day is on a Thursday this year, waiting until Friday night and going into the city to a nice restaurant isn’t completely out of the equation.
Everyone loves spending time with their friends, and if Sex and the City has taught us anything, it’s that friends are our soulmates and S.O.s are just people to have fun with. Spend time with your soulmates this Valentine’s Day, be nice to yourself.
