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 as sad day. This article will offer a few tips for how to have fun on Valentine’s Day even if you are alone for the day.
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 spending Valentine’s Day apart from your loved one.
For example if you and your partner live miles away from each other because of work and only see each other on the weekends, you will likely be alone on Valentine’s Day if it falls during the week. However, there are other ways you can make the day seem special.
For example 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.
You can also make plans for the following weekend ahead of time so you will have something to look forward to. You may still be alone on Valentine’s Day but if you know you will be celebrating on the weekend it will help to make the day feel less sad and will help to make you feel less lonely.
If you are alone on Valentine’s Day because you are not in a relationship, you can still have a great time on Valentine’s Day. One way to do this is to rent a few movies and order in diner from a really nice restaurant.
Try ordering from a restaurant you have always wanted to try or from a place which you know is very popular with couples on Valentine’s Day. This will help to make the day more special for you and you will be less likely to feel as though you are left out from the day’s activities. Just because you are alone does not mean you can’t enjoy a great meal and have a fabulous night 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 of your single friend and ask them each to bring someone else who is single. You and your friends will enjoy spending time together away from all of the couples who can make Valentine’s Day seem so lonely for those who are not in a relationship. You might even wind up meeting someone great at your Valentine’s Day party and 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, one of your friends might. Examples of games you might play are the dating game or scavenger hunts which encourage guests to find other participants who have certain interests or personality traits.
Finally, if you are alone on Valentine’s Day, it is important to remember 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. It is very important to remember that being alone on Valentine’s Day is not the end of the world.
Try doing something for yourself like giving yourself 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.
Thanks for this wonderful tips. I now have an idea on what one can do if alone on Valentine’s day.
This is so sad, pending this special day alone,
Valentine’s Day is a special day. If you don’t have a date, make yourself happy as @cake has stated in this article.
Exactly
@pink even if one is not alone on Valentine’s Day, one can use the knowledge above to advise lonely hearts.
@potal you are right. And as the article suggests, no one should be sad on Valentine’s Day, whether alone or with company.
@cake that is it. One can use the knowledge above to advise lonely hearts.
Sure!
This is a golden tip ever seen by me ever since we started the year 2022. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
But sincerely speaking I don’t see anything so special in February 14th. Love shouldn’t be celebrating on February 14th alone, love should be celebrated everyday.
@cake we are mostly alone and lonely in some days aside February 14th these tips also applicable to times like that too. Thanks once again
@omaonu you have a point there, it is true that love, like other virtues should be celebrated everyday but to some people, love should be celebrated on February 14th specifically because of saint Valentine.
Valentines Day has nothing to do with amorous love; it’s a day to show love to the unloved.
It’s not a day to hang out with people whose sole intention is to go under your skirt and into your punani. It’s not a day to push your boyfriend into buying things on credit just to please you.
It’s a day to visit the poor, the sick, and the homeless. Don’t let sellers of cards, flowers, clothes, fast food, and cakes to make money out of your foolishness.
Don’t lose your relationship only for someone to smile to the bank. If you don’t treat him/her as someone of high value, you shouldn’t do it for the sake of St. Valentines Day. If you have another girl/guy by the corner, why deceive yourself? be wise

@shecksman you are right that there are many ways to spend Valentine’s Day apart from Romantic activities. For instance, one can choose to go donate to an orphanage.
Your viewpoint has added value to the topic.
tho we have passed the valentine era i still want to let people know that being single is not a crime but a phase is better to be single than be in an abusive relationship
