Being unattached on February 14 can be a good thing—you just have to know how to celebrate it.
You Will Need
- An attitude adjustment
- A sense of adventure
- A box of chocolates
- And a game plan
Step 1: Realize you are not alone
Realize that you are not alone. There are literally millions of others who don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day.
Step 2: Remember: it's commercial
Tell yourself that Valentine’s Day is a crass commercial holiday that mostly brings happiness to florists and candy makers.
Step 3: Do something decadent
Book something decadent for this Valentine’s Day that you’ve always wanted to do—take a helicopter ride, fly to Paris for a long weekend, get a 90-minute massage.
Valentine’s Day is a great day to go to a singles bar. Many have parties that day for the unattached.
Step 4: Think of people in rotten relationships
Still blue? Think of all the people who stayed in a rotten relationship just to get a heart-shaped box of cheap chocolates.
Step 5: Feel superior
Feel superior to those people.
Step 6: Consider the holiday's origin
Consider the holiday’s origin. Valentine, a 3rd-century priest, was jailed, tortured, and murdered. He wrote a love letter to the warden’s daughter—therefore being someone’s Valentine is really being a doomed, lovesick prisoner.
Step 7: Enjoy half-priced chocolates
On February 15, purchase and devour a now half-priced box of chocolates. After all, chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which produces the same warm and fuzzy feelings we have when we’re falling in love—without any of the heartache.
The average American man spends $156 on Valentine’s Day, nearly double the $85 the average woman spends.

";Being someone's valentine is really being a doomed lovesick prisoner";, a line I will repeat.

Valentine's Day is a normal day for single person. Happy with your life on Valentine’s Day and have dinner with your friends or close friend.
