If you donāt have a significant other to spend Valentineās Day with this year (or ever), there are plenty of other options.
Iād like to personally throw out the idea of celebrating Galentineās 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. Donāt skip out on the chocolate! If you have an excuse to eat all the damn chocolate in the world, donāt 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, Valentineās Day can also be a day to treat yourself.
You can also spend the day with a close guy friend. If youāre both single, thereās 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 Valentineās Day, do the complete opposite. I personally always wear black on Valentineās day, because fuck it! Or if youāre 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, donāt wallow inĀ the fact that youāre single this year on V-day. Live in the now, and donāt get upset over the fact that youāre single. Live it up — you have no obligation to buy anyone else but yourself a shit ton of chocolate!
