Do’s and Don’ts of a Single Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day, and if you don’t have someone to celebrate it with, like me, don’t fear!
- Do go to dinner with your friends and/or family. They have loved you for your entire life and will continue to do so. Presumably. Maybe there is a reason you are single.
- Don’t call it Single Awareness Day (S.A.D). You should be happy instead, because cultural norms aren’t forcing you to buy someone else a teddy bear, roses, and/or expensive chocolates that can’t decide what flavor they want to be.
- Do go to see a movie with your other single friends. Together, you can throw popcorn at the people living in couplehood.
- Do. Not. Get. On. Social. Media. You will see so many pictures of girls, their Valentines and their icky lovey-dovey hashtags that you will want to throw your phone across the room and join a convent.
- Read a book. Particularly The Fault in our Stars. It’s an adorable love story, and you will weep.
- Do eat chocolate. In your loneliness, you won’t have to share it with anyone.
- But don’t eat your fictional boyfriend’s weight in chocolate. He won’t appreciate it.
- Bring Valentine’s cards, like the ones you used in elementary school, to your friends. Challenge yourself to use the whole box.
- Don’t buy a boyfriend pillow. You won’t have fun when your parents walk into your room and you have to explain why there’s an arm wrapped around you that’s not yours.
- Do be your own Valentine. Ain’t nobody said that you can’t love yourself.
