This year Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday. So if you are single, perhaps not only do you not have a date for Saturday evening, you also don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day Evening- that’s a double whammy! So what do you normally do on a Saturday evening? I hope you are not saying, “I stay home and wash my hair!”
Make plans with your friends to have a fun evening out. I find it helps to be actively involved so you won’t think of what you don’t have.
You can find a venue that has a good band, go dancing or even go bowling! Or if that’s not your cup of tea, then you can go to a movie that you were dying to see. Personally, I recommend a good action or drama film over a romantic comedy for this evening!
If you don’t want to go out and see all the love birds cooing at each other, what about having a dinner party at your home? You can have a potluck dinner so you don’t have to do all the work. Make sure people bring decadent deserts. Try to have your friends bring a friend so you get to meet new people! You can play board games or arrange a poker game.
So you don’t have to dread Valentine’s Day Evening. Lean on your single friends who are in the same boat as you. You will have a more enjoyable evening than staying home and washing your hair and seeing Friends reruns!
