Top Things to Do When You Are a Single Female for Valentine’s Day

In case you are one of the millions and millions of women who did not have a significant other to spend this year’s day of romance with, here are some things you can do to ensure you have an excellent when next year rolls around (and to make sure you don’t wake up on the 15^th regretting the two bowls of ice cream, one box of chocolates, wastebasket full of tissues and $15 spent on a sappy love movie and flowers to yourself)!

1. Watch a scary movie: get all your girlfriends together to watch a good flick that features all the lovesick couples getting their brains blown out and ligaments torn off. Woohoo, that should put you in the mood!
2. Have a spa day: Even if you have no guy to pay special attention to you, show yourself some appreciation today. Get the girls together, or treat yourself solo. Go all out—manicure, pedicure, facial, new hairstyle, cute outfit—pamper yourself! Then, when you’re all dressed up, meet the girls for dinner at your favorite restaurant.
3. Read hilarious Valentine’s Day slipups: Search the web for funny Valentine’s Day stories and laugh at other people’s embarrassing or awkward moments. And don’t feel guilty for laughing; if they didn’t want people to laugh, they wouldn’t have put it on the internet.
4. Send a card to a friend: If you have no significant other, become Valentines with one of your closest friends! Or you can include all of your friends by putting everyones name in a hat (yeah, like anyone uses a hat anymore) and draw random Valentines. Make each other handmade cards, baked goods, or other treats. Keep it creative!
5. The old stand-by: If you absolutely don’t feel like doing any of the previous ideas and insist on making this day a romantic one, you could resort to Old Faithful- watch a mushy love movie or chick flick, and dig in to your favorite bowl of Ben and Jerry’s! Apparently, films about love are very popular around this time of year, so you can go see one in a theater, or rent one of your favorites.
