Fun for singles on Valentines Day
Still looking for your Valentine? You don’t have to be matched or hitched to enjoy Valentines Day; there’s more to this lovers’ holiday than Valentine dating. In fact, it’s one of the best times for hopeful romantics to spring a surprise on a crush or flatter the object of their affections! So don’t dread it – embrace the chance to celebrate the idea of love as a singleton:

1. Celebrate friendship

Spend Valentines day with other singles, doing something fun and celebrating your collective happiness! Share a meal out together, have a cocktail party or go on a weekend getaway.

2. Pamper yourself

Buy a Valentines gift for yourself. For single girls: a pampering day at a beauty spa, a new piece of jewellery or a party dress; for eligible boys: a day at the speedway, a bottle of your favourite alcohol or a new techy gadget.

3. Send a Valentines Day card

For some V Day fun (and possible romance) make a Valentine for your secret crush or close friend. If you’re serious, let them know it’s you; otherwise, just sit back and enjoy spreading the love.

4. Go speed dating

If you’re dying to meet someone, anyone, try speed dating. While you may not meet the love of your life, it’s a great way to meet other singles and potential dates.

5. Throw a Valentines Day party

Tired of being left out by your coupled, loved-up friends? Hold a Valentines bash for singles only – go for formal dress, masquerade or love-themed costumes for extra fun.
