What To Do On Valentine’s Day If You Are Single
- Make some plans. You will end up home alone if you don’t make plans to make plans. Being alone will make you wallow in loneliness, and you will end up crying or eating too much ice cream. Avoid this by making plans already.
- Throw a singles-only party. Invite all your single buddies and drink to your independence. Let this singles’ Valentine’s Day be a memorable event with fun and games!
- Make chocolates and eat them all. You could decorate them with white, pink, and purple sprinkles, place them in clear cellophane bags, tie the bags with pretty pink ribbons, and gift them to your single buddies.
- Plan a “craftsday.” Set out stamps, ink, paper, cards, and stickers. Ask your interested creative friends to join you as well and make Valentine’s Day cards.
- Treat yourself. Go for a new blowout, haircut, beauty treatment, facial, or massage.
- Get out of town. Plan a Valentine’s Day getaway with a girlfriend or a family member.
- Plan a romantic dinner for your parents. Light some candles, set the table, and open a bottle of good wine.
- Take yourself out on a solo date to exude your confidence and self fulfillment. Go eat at your favorite fancy restaurant. You can sit at the bar and order an expensive dessert.
- Sign up for a workout class. After enjoying the endorphins from the exercise, treat yourself to a smoothie.
- Bake a layered chocolate cake. Choose a recipe that’s a little complicated and be proud of yourself when you perfect it.
- Order champagne. Drink two glasses!
- Have a chocolate taste test party. Buy a bunch of different flavored chocolate and invite some friends over to eat them. Discuss how each one tastes.
- Wear something sexy and feel the self-love.
- Pamper yourself. Take a long, hot bath, put on a face mask, and paint your nails. Sometimes self-care is better than going on dates.
- Book a couple’s massage – but with your bestie or a family member.
- Send a heartfelt “I love you because…” text to all the people you adore in your life, especially your old friends who live far away.
- Go for a Sex and the City marathon. Order pizza, make a margarita, and binge-watch the show that famously celebrates single women.
- Go to a bar, order your favorite cocktail, and then head to a place that hosts karaoke nights. Sing all the classic love songs with your best friends.
- Go on a date with your bestie. Get dressed, put on makeup, go to a restaurant, and order their special Valentine’s Day menu. With wine, of course.
- Do something sweet for someone elderly. Send them a bouquet of flowers and tell them how much you admire them.
Quick Tip
- Explore the neighborhood or head to a place in town you aren’t very familiar with. Walk up the streets, order a cappuccino at the local cafe, or browse the racks of an antique bookstore.
- Invite your group of friends and watch your favorite sporting event.
- Catch up on your Zzzzz. Sleep in or simply take a nap in the afternoon. You deserve it.
- Get off social media. Stalking your ex on Facebook to see how he is celebrating with his new girl is not going to make your day.
- Have nephews or nieces? Offer to babysit them so their parents can go for a night out. Be the cool aunt – watch Frozen, order pizza, and bake some brownies.

- Travel. Go snowboarding by yourself.
