Single Girls Valentine's Survival Guide - How To Have Fun On February 14th Without A Date!
Are your feeling low at the prospect of spending Valentines day alone? Does it seem that all your friends and family are coupled up and romance is passing you by this year?
Do not despair, be positive and follow our advice for a great day!
Firstly, remember, no date is infinitely better than the wrong date. Sitting in a restaurant with someone when you have nothing to talk about and you cannot wait to get home is miserable - especially on Valentines Day when there is so much pressure to be romantic. An evening spent wondering if you can escape through the window in the loo really is a waste of your time and effort!
Being single on Valentines Day may prove a turning point. It is the ideal opportunity to take stock of what you are looking for. Take the time to have a think about who you are and where you want to be in life. It may be that being single for a while will give you the chance you have always wanted to travel the world or fulfil your lifes ambitions.
If you are looking to date, make sure you are ready. Learn from the past and let it go. Spend some time focussing on who you are and what is special about you. Have a long think about what you are seeking in your perfect partner - and what you want to avoid!
And then, make sure you have fun. Try going out for dinner with a couple of close friends or family members. You will almost certainly be the ones having most fun in a restaurant of couples!
If going out is not possible, invite a girlfriend or two over for a pizza and popcorn and watch a romantic chick flick on DVD. Enjoying a fictitious happy ever after really can lift the spirits.
Alternatively (and you may want to keep this quiet!) if you are on your own, get a DVD starring your secret crush and prepare a romantic dinner for two. You get to feast your eyes on George, Jonny or Brad as well as eating two guilt free portions of pudding AND not having to share the wine.
If none of these ideas are for you, now is the time to be virtuous. Valentines Day is commercialized and environmentally damaging. Think of all the trees sacrificed to make cards that are just thrown away the next day. And as for the distances covered by all those red roses, does anyone even consider the carbon footprint!
