5 Things to Do on Valentine’s Day if you are Single:

Well it is that day of the year again, the dreaded day for single people: February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Over the years, it has been given many new nicknames, single people awareness day, but my favorite is GALentine’s Day. If you are a single girl, do not be sad because there are so many things you can do! If you are looking for some inspiration, here are a few alternative things you can do next Wednesday!

Go to the movies. Okay this one is a given, pretty sure every single girl has gone to the movies with her girlfriends on Valentine’s Day and why not? Couples go to restaurants during Valentine’s Days and single guys definitely don’t see chick flicks with their guy friends so it is a safe zone. Also, Fifty Shades Freed is out so the movies are definitely a priority.

Go to the gym. Nothing better than getting a kick ass workout in on a day where you are constantly reminded that you are single! Really helps you run that extra mile or two.

Go shopping. I have always told my friends this, and I will say it again; there is NOTHING retail therapy cannot fix, absolutely nothing. I have never felt better after spending way too much money at Free People and regretting none of it.

Buy a fat pint of Ben and Jerry’s. Okay I have not met one person who does not like Ben and Jerry’s. Even lactose intolerant people like it and they physically get ill from eating it. So do them a favor, and indulge in a pint all to yourself (after working out of course).

Go to dinner with your BFFs. Go out to dinner with your best friends (who are also single obvi). Nothing better than absolutely splurging at a nice restaurant with a group of your best friends! Turn it into a celebratory occasion rather than a sad one.

I hope these ideas help as you prepare for next week, and remember, whether you are single or not, these are good ideas for any day!
