13 best things about being
single on Valentine's Day
Christmas and New Year's celebrations have
come and gone, but Valentine's is still on the
way and you DON'T have to be in a relationship
to enjoy it. Here are 13 reasons why.
We are done with the Christmas and New Year's
celebrations, and the next thing on our minds is
Valentine's Day.
While some people are eagerly looking forward to
the one-day celebration which has been aptly
dubbed "lovers' day," some people however dread
it.
This probably because this group of people are
afraid to spend such a lovely day alone, not
having a special somebody to hangout with and
show some love.
If you fall into that category, then worry no more.
Here are 13 best reasons why its totally fine to be
single on Valentine's Day:
1. You don't have to pretend to like some guy's
silly drugstore gift: "Wow. This bear wearing a
bowtie and holding a box of chocolates that
are probably from 2012 because most chain
stores don't always check the expiration dates
is for me? Uh, thank you." — Girl, you don't
have to be.
2. You're not squashed into a crowded
restaurant: Or drenched in the romantic
desperation of all the other couples nearby
trying to make sure this night goes perfectly
because otherwise they'll probably have a
huge fight later. Who does that sound fun to?
3. You're not squashed into ill-fitting lingerie
with hearts all over it: Even the sexiest
actress knows that totally sucks.
4. There's no pressure to have amazing sex:
When you're part of a couple on Valentine's
Day, there's this unspoken pressure to go
home and have some kind of Boyz II Men "I'll
Make Love to You" passion-filled sex for the
day to have been considered a success. When
you're single, even if you just watch a movie
you like and eat popcorn, you're like, "This
day ruled."
5. You don't have to stress about what to get
for someone you've been seeing for, like, a
month: This is why most ladies hate meeting
anyone they're interested in within two
months of Valentine's Day.
6. You don't have to spend N5000 on a crappy
prix-fixe dinner that wasn't even that good:
There's nothing quite like eating a tiny bowl of
food drenched in some weird sauce that, even
though it's delicious, you still need to eat (real
food) right after because you're still starving.
7. You can do whatever the heck you want:
You're not stuck compromising on date-night
plans that may or may not suck because you
are the captain of your own ship.
8. If you go out to a bar, you're guaranteed that
all the guys there are single: And that's
guaranteed because even if they had
girlfriends, if they're not with them on
Valentine's Day, they're probably going to
know what's up.
9. You don't have to share your Valentine's Day
candy: "Two whole chocolate bars" is the
portion size for one person. One. These are
facts.
0. You don't need to buy overpriced chocolate:
And you of all people benefit from those
sweet, sweet post-Valentine's Day chocolate
discounts.
1. You can bond with your other single friends:
It doesn't even have to be about romantic
love. It can be about, like, noodles or
something. Your shared love of noodles.
2. No pressure to having an amazing,
meaningful, soul-touching date night: Even
the idea of trying to do this, that makes you
both feel like your souls are truly intertwined
just so you can prove how much you're
connected, should be enough to make you
psyched you're single.
3. You can do what you really want to do, which
is see Fifty Shades in theaters with your
friends: You know, it opens that night for a
reason.
