11 Things To Do On Valentine’s Day If You’re Single


If you're single on Valentine's Day, there are a few ways you can cope. Firstly, you can forget the whole thing exists and live your life like it were any other boring day — a solid plan. Secondly, you could spend the day wallowing in a state of self-pity because you don't have a date (I strongly advise against this). Or thirdly, you could make the most of your singlehood and its seemingly unfortunate timing — my personal favorite tactic. There's no shortage of things to do on Valentine's Day if you're single. Trust me.
In fact, you might be better off than your friends who are coupled up. Think about it. You don't have to put a whole lot of thought into your Valentine's Day plans or spend way too much money on flowers and chocolates. There's no pressure to make the day special for anyone but yourself and what's great about that? Well, no one knows you better than you know yourself. Say goodbye to ghosts of Valentine's Days past that failed to meet your Hollywood-inspired expectations and treat yourself to the Valentine's Day you've always deserved.
If you're short on ideas, here are 25 fun things to do on Valentine's Day because, to quote Jessica Day in New Girl, you are "single and sufficient."

1. Host A Valentine’s Day Hater party

All haters unite! There are many people like you, who aren’t a fan of this day. Get together and chit-chat about your common dislike about this mush fest of a day.

2. Go On A Blind Date

I’m sure your friends could fix you up on a blind date. There is a weird thrill in exploring the unknown on Valentine’s Day. It’s possible that the person you’ve been avoiding all this time because you’ve been unsure, might actually just surprise you with the most romantic date ever. Or you’ll crash and burn, either way, you tried.

3. Give Dating Apps A Chance

Try out apps like Happn, Hinge, Tinder, etc. Every app that you’ve cringed at before, could actually find you the love of your life. Anything is possible!

4. Go For A Movie With All Of Your Single Friends

Gather all your single friends and go for a movie. Whatever the genre you’ll prefer, be it horror, rom-com, or even action movies. Get out there and enjoy the day cause there is no reason you can’t!

5. Have Dinner With Your Family Or Make Yourself A Fancy Dinner 

With the ridiculous prices at restaurants on Valentine's Day, taking yourself out to a fancy dinner may not be worth it. Instead, try making a recipe you've always wanted to try — or order your favorite takeout meal — and breakout the champagne.
It’s  also the best day to spend some quality time with your family. Cook them some dinner.

6. Babysit For Parents Who’d Like To Celebrate

Many couples would want to go out with their partners and celebrate this day. Unfortunately, many of them have children. So, make yourself useful this day and babysit for them. Good karma anyone?

7. Order In

Stay home, and order in. The entire city will be out on dinners and dates. You’d be better off at home! Plus, it’s a working day the next day, so you rather call it an early night.

8. Pamper Yourself

Treat yourself to a spa day! Massages, manicures, pedicures, and the works, go all out. Make a beautiful day out of it, filled with some quality you time.

9. Visit A Cake Shop

Stuff your face with some cake! Go to a nice bakery, and go try different types of cake. You know what they say, nothing comforts you better than some chocolate!

10. Stock Up On Some Ice Cream 

Yep, it’s that time of the year. The day that probably sells the most amount of ice cream. If you’re feeling down and out, stock up on ice cream, play a romantic movie and give into the feels. You never know, prince charming could be around the corner.
It’s not the best day for single people to enjoy, but it’s up to you to make it a fun day anyway. Go try these things out, and let us know what you’re planning to do in the comments below.

11. Just Ignore it

This year Valentine's Day falls on a Wednesday — not exactly a day of the week where people go all out, even those in relationships. So if you're not feeling the love this Valentine's Day, why not just ignore it? You can come home from work, put on your favorite jammies, order a whole pizza that you don't have to share, and have yourself fun time rolling solo.
Valentine's Day can be romantic, but romance doesn't always have to be about love. Romance, in the literary sense of the word, is just as wonderful an experience. So if you're single this Valentine's Day, don't sweat it! You have options — you always have jammies and pizza — so no matter what you choose, you'll have a fine time for yourself.

Why You Snore And How To Prevent It

Image
Why It Happens If you snore, it's because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. About half of U.S. adults do it from time to time. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you're sawing logs during the night.  How Do I Know If I Snore? If it’s loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don’t believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. Stuffy Nose Anything that stops you from breathing through your nose can make you snore, like if you’re stopped up from a cold, flu, or allergies. Over-the-counter medicines or nasal strips can help open up those airways, but talk to your doctor if you’re stuffed up for weeks at a time. The Shape of Your Nose If the thin wall between your nostrils didn’t form quite right, one side can be smaller than the oth...

Image
Former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, has said it would be difficult for her to trust anyone after the incident of her lesbian sex tape.

Wimbledon 2017: Garbine Muguruza Defeat's Venus Williams in women's final

Image
We have been living in an era where age has appeared to be no barrier to success, but youth had its day here on Centre Court as Garbine Muguruza ended Venus Williams’ hopes of becoming the oldest women’s Wimbledon champion in the Open era. The meeting of the 23-year-old Spaniard and the 37-year-old American had been expected to be a tight battle between two ferocious ball-strikers, but after a tense first set the match became a brutally one-sided contest as Muguruza won 7-5, 6-0 in just 77 minutes. In an extraordinary turnaround in fortunes, Muguruza saved two set points at 4-5 in the first set and then won nine games in a row to claim her first Wimbledon title, two years after losing to Williams’ sister, Serena, in her first Grand Slam final. She is the first player to have beaten both sisters in Grand Slam finals. Muguruza, who went on to win her first Grand Slam title at last year’s French Open, proved again that she is a player for the big occasion. The world No 15, w...

Japanese Airline Confirms Future BTC Payment Option In The Works

Peach Aviation, a low-cost airline in Japan, has confirmed that their plan to allow   Bitcoin (BTC)   as payment is only delayed, not cancelled. Peach Aviation had   initially announced in May 2017   that customers would be able to use Bitcoin as a payment method by the end of the year.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, has said Nigeria is set to supply 130,000 tonnes of roasted cashew nuts to the Walmart Super Market chain in the United States of America.

They came here and asked us to roast cashew nuts for them. “What Nigeria currently does is ship the nuts to Vietnam, which in turn roasts and sell to the US. This year, we are going to create six cashew processing factories in Nigeria, each to be cited in Enugu, Imo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara and Oyo states. These are the cashew belts for now. These options are coming now because Nigeria is beginning to focus on non-oil export.” Meanwhile, a recent data from the Na...
