Spending Valentine’s Day Alone
Valentine’s Day is near and whether you are in a committed relationship and your partner is away for the holidays or you just do not have a date on Valentine’s Day, spending this day alone can be very sad for some people. Women especially are likely to dwell on the fact that they are alone this day but some men may wish they had someone special to spend the day with as well. However, spending Valentine’s Day alone does not have to be such a sad day. Let me share with you a few tips on how to have fun on Valentine’s Day even if you are alone.
Those who are in long distance relationships often find themselves alone on days such as Valentine’s Day, anniversaries or birthdays. If you are in this situation you likely realize there will be times when you are going to spend Valentine’s Day apart from your loved one. However, there are other ways you can make the day special. If you know you are going to be alone on Valentine’s Day, try to keep yourself busy throughout the day. Schedule appointments such as manicures or pedicures, run errands or make plans to meet a friend for lunch or dinner. This will help to keep you from dwelling on the fact that it is Valentine’s Day.
If you are alone on Valentine’s Day because you are not in a relationship, you can still have a great time. One way to do this is to rent a few movies and order dinner from a really nice restaurant. Try ordering from a restaurant you have always wanted to try. This will help to make the day more special for you. Just because you are alone does not mean you can’t enjoy a great meal and have a fabulous night all by yourself.
If you have other friends who are single, you might consider hosting a singles only party on Valentine’s Day. You can invite all your single friends and you may ask each of them to bring someone else who is single. You might even wind up meeting someone great at your Valentine’s Day party and who knows, next year you will not be alone on Valentine’s Day. You can even try playing match making games at the party which encourage the guests to get to know each other. Even if you do not wind up meeting someone great, perhaps one of your friends might.
Finally, if you are alone on Valentine’s Day, it is important to remember that it does not mean you will always be alone. One of the biggest mistakes singles often make on Valentine’s Day is spending too much time dwelling on the holiday. Remember that being alone on Valentine’s Day is not the end of the world. Try doing something for yourself like getting a manicure, going for a run or taking a long bath. This will help you to focus more on yourself and your good qualities than the fact that you do not have a date on Valentine’s Day.
