Valentine’s Day is coming! HIDE! I’m kidding, come out of hiding.

It’s almost here! Some will hide in their rooms, bars and basements for it to be over. While others rejoice and share the wondrous time with someone they love. Hey some people will just use it to hook up. I’m talking about VALENTINES DAY!

For the longest time Valentine’s Day has been about spending time with that loved one. It’s been about, buying the perfect gift, planning the most elaborate dinner and of course, random confessions of love. It’s been locked down and dominated by couples, for the soul purpose of being more lovey dovey and in your face with their constant making out. Would you believe that despite having a girlfriend, I still can’t stand couples?

Now with all the love going on, there is the other side to Valentine’s Day. Not everyone is in a relationship, so where are most of the single people, who can’t seem to find love? They are celebrating their own holiday, Anti-Valentine’s Day, which is basically a big “I HATE YOU” to Valentine’s Day, which is alright. I can see why people would dread it, seeing people be mushy and close, when they have no one to be mushy and close with. It must suck even more, when they just got their hearts broken, ouch.

I’m here to tell you, it’s not all bad. Valentine’s Day is more than just a day for couples, it’s for everyone. If you want to hate the day, go ahead, just don’t hurt anyone. If you want to spend it with your loved one, you can do that too. There is nothing wrong just going out with a friend or even hanging back with the family. Valentine’s Day is more about love and caring for yourself and others. It’s about being able to share some time with someone else or even just you. It’s not limited to just couples.

SINGLE? :P

If you don’t know what do when the dreaded day comes, check out this list.

1. Sleep in = There is no shame in catching another few 24 hours of nap time.

2. Hang out with friends = Not everyone is in a relationship, go have fun.

3. Host an Anti-Valentine’s Day party = Try and get a piñata of a giant heart, to smash with a baseball bat.

4. Ask someone out = It’s not too late, it’s never too late. :)

5. There are tons of events for singles on this day, go find one = Bars, clubs and lounges most of the time on Valentine’s Day host events for singles to meet, hook up or just have a good time.

6. Hook up with someone = Hey I don’t judge ;)

SO when February 14th comes around, you know what to do…just have fun or do whatever. It’s just another day to have fun or spread some fun…and nothing else ;)
