Single on Valentine's Day? Fear Not!
Jenn Nguyen
I didn’t forget about you, singles!
After putting together date night ideas in my last post, I started to compile a list of what singles can do on Valentine’s Day. And honestly, I started to jot down the same exact list. You shouldn’t miss out on experiences just because you don’t have an “official Valentine.” You very well can gather a group of friends for a jolly-let loose time. Let’s face it. We all have that one friend who jumps from relationship to relationship. It may not be a common occurrence for you and your friends to all simultaneously be single, so take advantage of this window of opportunity, go out, and celebrate!
Or better yet, go by yourself. More power to you. Who knows, maybe doing things on your own will show you a new perspective, a new epiphany. More importantly, your own perspective and your own epiphany. It’s significant to take that initiative and do the things you want to do without concern for how it will seem, appear, or be judged by others. Remember: it’s a day to celebrate love-that includes self-love. And the more you love yourself, the more you will know how to give AND accept love from someone else when it is time. It’s all a circle. I am far from a love professional, but don’t be jaded by the cliche commercialization of Valentine’s Day. Buy yourself a dozen roses. Or a dozen Popeyes chicken tenders. Treat yourself to two helpings of dessert. Learn that thing you’ve always wanted to learn. The pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of your utmost potential. And if you’re on the pursuit for “the one”, you’d only want to offer them the best version of yourself anyways. At the end of the day, you are your first valentine and your first love. So act like it. That’s an order!!! Just kidding I can’t tell you what to do,🤣 but you get the gist.
By the way, the date night suggestions are not reserved specifically for February 14th. After all, everyday is Valentine’s Day right? Last but not least, doesn’t matter if you’re single, in a relationship or situationship, head to your nearest CVS or Target February 15th for mega candy sales!
XOXO, (the hershey’s kind)
