Ready to Mingle: A Guide For Singles on Valentine’s Day

We sprinted into the New Year, and then January flew by before we knew it. Now Boom! It’s February and you are constantly greeted with pink hearts and red roses. Just a blink and you see the words Be Mine written in elegant script everywhere. With Valentine’s Day at our door step, many of us are not lucky enough to have a Valentine’s Day sweetheart. You may think that February 14th of every year is the biggest drag in the world. With candy, teddy bears, chocolate, and sappy cards, it seems that you are drowning in a riptide of love!

Even though you are single on the loveliest day of the year; I promise you don’t have to be all by yourself. There are tons of things that you can do, to make it a special evening for yourself. So, sit back, relax and see what strikes your fancy.

Have a movie marathon featuring your favorite celeb crush
Plan a spa day
Buy an expensive gift for yourself
Go on a shopping spree (Guy or Girl)
Have a game night with the gang (Galantine’s Day)
Plan a mini vacay
Drink some champagne
Babysit for someone who does not get to go out often.
Have a single’s party
Laugh it up
Eat lots of candy
Love yourself!

So,just live up the night, with a drink of bubbly and laugh it up. Just keep in mind that you will not be single always. It is just that awkward phase in life that we go through. If you find yourself in the same precarious predicament, next year just remember the previous year. Say to yourself for a night to remember I am single, and ready to mingle!
