If you’re single this Valentine’s Day, try being selfish and give yourself a chance
Valentine’s Day in February is often a commercial celebration, but it can also be a great opportunity for singles and unattached individuals to indulge in fun activities like solo dinners or self-care.
Whether you’re single or in a relationship, you can commemorate Valentine’s Day with self-love, as it’s a reminder that even without a significant other, you can still celebrate with love and joy.
However, if you’re still not sure what to do, here are seven awesome activities to try out when you’re single on Valentine’s Day with no significant other required.
Movie night
It’s arguably better to go to the movies by yourself than to go with others. Heat some popcorn and grab some candy, get a ticket to a new movie you’ve been dying to see, and go on a date with yourself.
Singles-only dinner
One wonderful non-romantic way to celebrate love is to spend time with friends.
Bring your best friends who are single over, prepare a delicious meal, open some prosecco, and raise a glass to your independence.
Hit the road
Plan a romantic weekend trip with friends or family, or go alone for Valentine’s Day. Go somewhere new or revisit a well-loved location to get a sense of nostalgia.
Little chocolate cake never hurt anybody
Make a delectable chocolate cake and don’t feel like you have to share it with anyone. Choose one that’s a little more advanced, and be proud of yourself when you nail it.
Cook Valentine’s dinner for your parents
Spending time with your parents is the ideal way to commemorate love. Ask them to cook for them instead of going out for a typical dinner. Light candles, arrange the table and pop open a fine bottle of wine.
Eat at your favourite restaurant
Solo dinners out are so underrated. Not only can you order whatever you want, but you don’t have to make conversation with anyone and can focus on the delicious food. Book a table for one at your favourite restaurant and don’t forget to end the night with dessert.
Pamper yourself at home
Make it a day of self-care activities that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Take a long bath, put on a face mask, or paint your nails.
