10 Ways to Enjoy Valentine’s Day When You’re Single
Want to know how to enjoy Valentine’s Day when you’re single? Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. While society tends to spotlight romantic relationships with dinners, flowers, and couples celebrating their love during this time, it’s essential to remember that love comes in many forms.
However, being single or having a complicated relationship status doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. In fact, it’s a great opportunity to focus on self love and indulge in activities that bring you joy.
If you’re newly single or have no clue how to spend Valentine’s Day by yourself, here are some ways you can enjoy Valentine’s Day as a single person.
1. Go on a Solo Trip
Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the mid-winter. It’s usually cold or snowing on the East Coast, so going away to a city or country with a warm climate is a great option if you don’t like the cold. Since attending Trinidad Carnival in 2013, I’ve almost always gone away on or close to Valentine’s Day. In other countries, I haven’t seen the excitement of the holiday, and I’ve enjoyed myself.
If you can’t go away, embrace the freedom of exploring on your own by visiting a local museum, park, historical site, or other scenic sites. Pack a picnic and make it a day of solo adventure.
2. Spend Time With Single Friends
One thing I appreciate about singleness is having friends who are single too. After a snowstorm cancelled my flight, I did a simple Valentine’s Day with my best friend with mani-pedis, dinner, and a movie, making it a great “Galentine’s” day out.
3. Have a Spa Day
Work hard? Treat yourself to a spa day. If you’re worried about spending a lot of money, search for deals sites like Groupon or treat yourself to a relaxing spa day with scented candles, bath bombs, and soothing music at home.
4. Binge Watch Movies
Have a cozy movie night with your preferred snacks at home. Pick your favorite genre or explore new films to watch all night long.
5. Cook a Special Dinner
Cooking can be therapeutic. Prepare a fancy dinner for yourself and enjoy a delicious homemade meal by preparing your favorite dish or experimenting with a new recipe, complete with candles and your favorite music. Enhance your culinary skills by joining online cooking classes.
6. Bake
Spend the day baking sweet treats. Share them with friends and family, or savor them all to yourself.
7. Be Creative
Channel your creativity by painting, drawing, or engaging in any artistic expression that brings you joy.
8. Host a Game Night
Connect with your closest friends for a game night. Dust off your favorite board games and spend time playing, whether in person or virtually.
9. Create a Vision Board
Visualize your goals and aspirations by making a vision board. It’s a powerful tool for manifesting positive change. Reflect on your goals and aspirations. Create a vision for your future and outline the steps to achieve it.
10. Write a Love Letter to Yourself
Express self-love by writing a love letter to yourself. Write your thoughts and dreams; focus on your achievements, strengths, and aspirations for your future self.
Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love, and that includes the love you have for yourself. Embrace singlehood as an opportunity to focus on self-discovery, personal growth, and activities that bring you joy.
Whether you pamper yourself, explore new hobbies, or connect with friends virtually, remember that your relationship with yourself is just as important as any romantic relationship.
