How To Make Your Valentine’s Day Better When You’re Single.

• You maybe single but you are not alone.
• Valentine's Day is meant to celebrate love, not couples. Just because you are not in a romantic relationship, doesn't mean you don't have love in your life.
• Love is about giving and sharing, not taking or getting. If you spend your Valentine's Day thinking about people you love, you will find joy. If you focus on where you can get love, you will find disappointment.
• The hearts and candy boxes you see are there to make sales, not to make you feel left out. You can still have chocolates.

• Hang out with your friends who are single like you.
• Many spas and massage places have a special for Valentine's Day and it's not just for couples, why not get a nice relaxing massage or a facial?
• Do what you love, be adventurous if you can. The ski season isn't over yet, why not head out to the mountains?
• Buy a gift for someone you love in a non-romantic way like a friend or a family member. Give it to them on Valentines Day -- that will make you both feel better.
• Did I mention you are not the only single out there? Did you know that Valentines Day is the most popular day of the year for singles parties? Go meet other singles, you never know what can come out of this.
• If you're a member of any 12 step program, this would be a good day to go to a meeting if you absolutely cannot think of anything else to do.

• Staying home alone If you anticipate it to be a miserable day and you prefer to be alone, chances are, that's exactly what will end up happening. This will make you feel worse, not better.
• Drinking alcoholic beverages alone
• Doing things other people suggest you do that you know will not make you feel better. For example, buying yourself flowers never worked for me. However, if it works for you, do it by all means!
• Going to restaurants alone Not only will you be constantly reminded by the waiters and other customers that you are alone, most restaurants have a special menu on Valentine's Day where the dinner is quite a bit more expansive than usual.
• Hanging out with couples or places where couples go to.
• Calling you ex or former flame who has made it clear to you that the relationship isn't meant to be. That is probably the worst thing you can do for Valentine's Day.
• Calling somebody you have previously broken up with or turned down unless you're absolutely sure you want to be with this person.
