Best Things To Do on Valentine’s Day When Your Single

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Muhlenberg chapter.

If you donā€™t have a significant other to spend Valentineā€™s Day with this year (or ever), there are plenty of other options.

Iā€™d like to personally throw out the idea of celebrating Galentineā€™s Day. Spending the time with your girl friends and crying over Nicholas Sparks movies together is definitely better than trying not to look like a softie in front of a boy. Instead of going out with your significant other, go see the latest romance movie with your girls. Donā€™t skip out on the chocolate! If you have an excuse to eat all the damn chocolate in the world, donā€™t pass that up! You and your friends can all buy each other those cute little Valentine’s heart chocolates, or simply buy some for yourself. After all, Valentineā€™s Day can also be a day to treat yourself.

You can also spend the day with a close guy friend. If youā€™re both single, thereā€™s no harm in just hanging out together to show appreciation for each other as friends. You can also make it a group hangout! Instead of following the normal traditions of Valentineā€™s Day, do the complete opposite. I personally always wear black on Valentineā€™s day, because fuck it! Or if youā€™re really feelinā€™ bold, and I applaud you if you are, YOU can always make the first move on a guy. Play it real lowkey.

Whatever you decide to do, donā€™t wallow inĀ the fact that youā€™re single this year on V-day. Live in the now, and donā€™t get upset over the fact that youā€™re single. Live it up — you have no obligation to buy anyone else but yourself a shit ton of chocolate!
