You also don’t have to fuss about your appearance or worry about how what you order “might look” to some theoretical date. Instead, show up as glammed or comfortable as you please, order a bottle of wine, and indulge in your guilty pleasure meal.
You can even bring a good book or magazine to keep you occupied, or use the bar area as a way to meet some new people. Getting out alone on Valentine’s Day might seem a bit intimidating, but by the end, you will feel no less than empowered.
Family Forever
Do you miss your sister or hometown best friend to pieces? Have you been texting, “We have to catch up!” for months on end? If so, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to reconnect with single loved ones.
After all, you both won’t have any date night plans, and you can spend some meaningful quality time together. If you live far away, catch up over FaceTime. Or, if you are local, hit a movie or go bowling. No matter what you do with them, you can’t go wrong.
Did Someone Say Galentine’s Day?
On a similar note, you can even make this V-Day hangout a much larger affair. Invite your closest girlfriends over to your apartment for a wine night with games and trivia. Or, dress up in all pink, go out on the town, and capture some Instagram-able photos.
You can totally spice up this get-together or opt more a more low-key chill night. Either way, though, you will be having fun and fostering the best kinds of relationships: friendships.
Hit The Shops
Okay, if you have ever been in a relationship before, then you may dread gift-giving holidays. I mean, opening something you hate and having to pretend as though you love it? Completely draining– especially for those of us with horrible acting skills.
So, this year, use Valentine’s Day as a way to give yourself the gift you really want– completely guilt-free. Maybe you love crafting and have been eyeing the Cricut, or you want a new purse or makeup palette. Whatever it is, go out and buy it for yourself.
