How can I survive Valentine's Day?

Oups, realized the question has been more or less answered a couple of times before…sorry…

Well, first of all, cut back on all that man bling around your neck. No wonder there ain’t no one getting you nothin’ for v-day… they think you’re richie rich.

Oh noes…not YOU again…sigh…:)

It is just a day. Instead of thinking about it treat yourself to something you enjoy.

Yeah, single Vdays suck. However, you can make it less sucky by doing stuff you really enjoy either by yourself or with single friends. If you hang out solo, do something that really makes you feel good. When I’ve been single on Vday I’ve always ordered the expensive Chinese delivery (whoot!) and gotten a pedicure.

Make it a movie night, order in food and relax.

It’s been a long long long time since I have Been single, but my husband is usually working.

Pamper yourself. A new pair of great shoes , a day at the spa .., whatever it takes to make you happy. The day doesn’t have to me bad if you choose to make it good.

Go out and get loaded man! Girls who are out on V day are probably single or unhappy in their relationships. If you don’t meet any girls then you will still talk to people and have a sweet buzz at the same time. Don’t sit at home and feel sorry for yourself. Sounds like youre ready to be in another relationship, eight years is a long time bro. If you do stay home, hit some dating sites and find some girls you would be interested in. Don’t hit them up on V day though….might look desperate. Wait until the weekend. Congrats buddy…last Valentines Day you will spend by yourself.

I try to make plans with my single friends if v-day comes on a weekend like this year. Also, the quirkyalone movement sometimes has parties on v-day (see quirkyalone.net for more info).

Give some1 you work w/or some1 you know chocolate or sweet tarts.
Go rent a movie from BB….(preferably horror)
Get some great take out or make your own grub.
Take a shower/ bath before you go to bed- You’ll sleep like a baby.
Happy Valentine day!

You can go to the bar and drown your sorrows. Or celebrate the fact that you don’t have a ball and chain dragging you down. It all depends on how you look at it.
Rent some really violent action movies with lots of explosions, guns, and blood. The more guts and the less plot, the better the movie (for today anyway).

I love a good pity party. I feel your pain, bro. Now, why don’t you feel it too? There you go. Just let it flow. It’ll all be gone by morning.

Just because you haven’t got a significant other it doesn’t mean you don’t mean anything on V Day… for years V Day has been a disappointment for me (as previously stated elsewhere) and that’s out of and in relationships…. This year i am with someone but I am still going to make a special effort for myself and lurve myself a lot. You are special and deserve to shower yourself with loveliness

Think of all the things that would make you happy; that you’d love someone else to do for you and do as many of those things for yourself…hell…why not even buy yourself a card make it a big one!

Ignore it. I will. I have a gf, but we’re not together right now, and I don’t think we’d be celebrating it anyway. I plan to go watch a football match that day if I find a ticket.

@jazzjeppe thinking of you…happy valentine’s day hope its a good one for you xx

Change the way you view the concept. It’s hard to ignore that valentine’s day is about love and relationships, especially with the television and every shop front blaring it in your face all day long. However love and relationships exist outside of a sexual partnership. Maybe spend some time with close family or friends, but instead of using it to distract yourself from valentines day, embrace it. Get old photos out, dust off that football trophy from high school, tell stories of all of your crazy good times together way back when. Make it a big day, and when it’s over you’ll realise that you’re not missing out on the real thing at all.
