So i going to nip the singles crys on valentines day by posting ideas for singles. Ive compiled the largest list i can but please read and add as much as possible:

--------------------
Treat yourself : buy that one thing youve wanted for a while. Heck buy a new wardrobe or treat yourself to the deluxe barber treatment. The spa

Throw a party- its fun get your other friends who are outa luck. It could be fun

Veg out on the couch - binge or marathon something from the couch.

Do something your ex hated - s

Make it a bro night ! - you and the bros concentrate on fun and hijinks

Get outa town - literally

Pick up a hobby

Treat it as a typical work day

Hang with you fam

Chat online

Start a online dating account

Yoga lesson - mens health recommended this

Rearrange your room

Donate your time - any charity will do.

Meditate on the whys, a little self pitty helps us grow

"Embrace being alone" - gonna blush and walk away

Read

Send an anonymous gift to another single

Hit the gym

Take yourself on a dream date or dream dinner at a reaturant. Wine tasting fun

Eat

Sleep

Plot world domination - buzzfeed recommended it

Throw a anti vday bash

-------------
And now the counter items....
(These items im not listing in the main due to issues

V day is full of lonely people. Alot of mags say its "easy pickings" and it cuts both ways. to both genders. Im not endorsing it at all. Yes meeting people is great but wheres the honor in rebounders, the super desperate, the super vulnerable.

Rolls eyes again your free to add to this list i hope someone finds ideas

It’s not even a proper holiday, you don’t get a day off work. :P

I might pull a prank on the people at work in the day and have a laugh.

Celebrate being single and free to do whatever you want w/o having to consider a partner’s vote in any decisions! Whether small daily things like where you go and how you spend your time to bigger life decisions - it’s very liberating not to have to answer to anyone else or consider how your decisions impact them or the two of you as a couple.

Now that I have long term goals in life I’m ever happier remaining single as I wouldn’t want a relationship to distract me from pursuing my goals & Valentine’s Day will be a day to celebrate not being tied down by anyone else, their issues/wants/needs or goals etc.

Plan and cook yourself a healthy meal, and stay away from alcohol and junk food.

Love and take care of yourself, you deserve it.

In China they have a Singles day. They should have that in other countries to.

Which day is that? If enough people celebrate it it'll eventually become a thing! :D

As for Valentine's Day, well, in here it's called "ystävänpäivä" which directly translates to "friend's day" so it isn't usually celebrated as a romantic day (or at least I've never seen anyone do so), so no pressure for me. :lol:

I certainly won't go to the mailbox, and look for a Valentine's card from the Red-Headed girl.....

That doesn't sound like a fun way to spend any day, so why would you plan on doing that? :?

November the 11th. 11/11. It's all ones. The number represents being one by oneself.

I went to an anti valentines day once. Never again. It was full of people feeling sorry for themselves. Not fun!
What I normally do is watching romantic comedies, I buy a bottle of wine and some chocolate and I have a great time by myself. Why great? Because I'm free of all the hassle, compulsory gift giving etc.
I always found it a cliche to propose on Valentines day, or go to an expensive restaurant when you could spend that money on something more enjoyable and more memorable.

That's terrible! A singles day should be fun! People should use this day to celebrate themselves! Not feel sorry for themselves.
