While traditionally speaking, Valentine's Day was an occasion for lovers and married people to celebrate and re-affirm their love for each other, be it young or old people, it is not imperative that Valentine's Day only have significance for couples.
It is a day dedicated to love and since love is not slotted into simply the romantic kind, but can be spiritual, filial and for the entire humanity or even the animal world (especially if you have a pet at home, you'll know the worth of genuine love that asks for nothing in return). Thus, even though you may not be in a relationship when Valentine's Day approaches or lack a significant other to celebrate with on this day for lovers that is now celebrated globally with much fanfare, thanks to marketing gimmicks and advertorial backing, there is a lot you can do to perk up your spirits on V-day.
We tell you just what to do without a romantic partner on Valentine's Day and how to cheer yourself up: firstly, do not be hard on yourself or think you are worth less just because you don?t have a boyfriend or girlfriend on V-day to celebrate with. It just means you haven't found that special someone just yet - and you can't hurry love, as the song goes - so, wait your time for love to blossom and focus on someone worth loving just the same: You!
Yes, shower yourself with attention on Valentine's Day because you are worth it, as a famous cosmetic brand says and you will find that not having a significant other on Valentine's Day will not matter so much, especially if you have a buddy to share the day with!
If you have a friend without a date on Valentine?s Day, consider getting together to keep the sadness or overhanging sense of despair away that you are date-less; it also keeps you from feeling left-out and alone if you grab a great movie to watch at home (choose a mushy, humorous or even a series of thrillers you can watch back-to-back) with your favorite snacks and have a gala time on Valentine's Day.
Alternately, you can go to the theater, catch the latest flicks and even meet some new interesting people while standing in line to get your tickets: after all, you never know you may meet someone nice who shares the same choice as you in movies!
Don't kick it till you try it: choose from comedy or science fiction or even horror flicks you've wanted to see and check out the crowd there; if you find someone interesting, strike up an easy conversation with them and you may well find your date for the day, or better still, year!
Other ways to spend V-Day with your friend or even group of friends not hitched with someone special on Valentines is to tog up really nicely and go out to an amusement park or theme park; go bowling and for a dinner afterwards. Try the latest eatery in town or hit your favorite dinner-out venue for a special treat: but, be nice to yourself even if you don't have a date this V-Day as you are special - no matter what. Remember that!
