The day of love is here and you don’t have anyone to share it with? You don’t need to! Here are 6 tips for singles for Valentine’s Day that will bring you more joy than any date.
It’s that time of year again. The day (or days) when suddenly all couples start loving each other like teenagers, when the world turns pink. We’ve put together a list of 7 Valentine’s Day tips for singles to help you forget the romance. Because loving yourself may not be particularly romantic, but that doesn’t make it any less important.
1. get creative
Nothing takes your mind off things like a good project. Have you always wanted to put something on canvas? Today is the day to do it. Make yourself comfortable, listen to your favorite podcasts. Because unlike couples, today you have time to invest in your creativity. And who knows: maybe you’ll find a new passion or even a vocation for yourself.
2. give yourself a present
Today is the ideal time to give yourself a present. That coat you can’t get out of your head? That cute chest of drawers you’ve been eyeing for a long time? Make yourself happy on Valentine’s Day and put a smile on your face.
3. get your single friends together
Being single doesn’t mean you have to spend Valentine’s Day all alone. You probably have friends who are also single and don’t have any big plans for the day of love. Organize a nice walk, play your favourite board games or watch a movie together. Or treat yourselves to a wine tasting together! The possibilities for celebrating yourselves are endless.
4. stay away from Instagram, Facebook and Tinder!
You’re probably friends with one of those self-proclaimed influencer couples who like to remind everyone of their “happiness” with pictures and quotes so cute they make you sick. For once, you can save yourself the headache. And also the desperation to find a date for Valentine’s Day! After all, you’re spending the day with yourselves.
5. list the positive sides of being single
If you’re in a bad mood on Valentine’s Day and secretly wish you had someone by your side, how about a list of the benefits of being single? We’ll start ourselves:
- the freedom to make life decisions for yourself (and less important ones too)
- You have the bed all to yourselves
- you can simply let yourself be carried away by the surprises and twists in your life
- only you can enjoy the delicacies that you lovingly prepare – as long as your roommates are respectful
- …
Even if you want a partner in the long term, it’s important to look at the positive sides of “being alone”.
6. make it a day of pampering
Sleep in late, take a bath or spend hours gaming on the PS4. You can use Valentine’s Day for yourself to really relax. Because having no plans for a couple also means having plenty of time. For you and the things you like to do. Even if it’s just procrastinating – no one will judge you for the unproductive day, because: You’re single.
You are welcome to use this plus point of being single for the above-mentioned list.
