Yes, it is here, the day single women dread, Valentine’s Day. I know what you’re thinking, oh no, I’m single what am I going to do! Don’t fear, your relationship guru is here. I am going to go over three very good ideas to help you survive another single Valentine’s Day. 

Idea number one, strategically hide from the day. Yes, you heard me correctly, hide from the day. If you work from home, this is a cake walk. Just don’t leave your house. However, if you work in a office, you have a few more obstacles in your way. Usually people who hide from Valentine’s Day hate the holiday because they are alone. If that’s you, stay in your cubical. If you’re a girlie like me, stay in your office. Do not bring unnecessary pain to yourself. It is not your year, which is fine. However don’t break your own heart when you don’t have to. 

Idea number two is for the radical girlie, take yourself out on a date. Yes, you heard me, take yourself out and love on yourself. Some people (I mean couples) find this cheesy, but shoot why not? If you want to go to that five store restaurant in your hometown, do it. I have taken myself out on dates before, it is actually a lot more fun, than people realize. If your down for this idea following your girlies steps;

• Step one; Go to the spa and get that skin right
• Put in your reservation at least two weeks prior to Valentine’s Day so you have a seat at your favorite spot. 
• Get dressed up. Yes, I mean get very dressed up.

You are the price, regardless if your single or going through a breakup. 

Idea number three, go on a date. Yes you heard me, go on a first date on Valentine’s Day. Your probably asking yourself why would I do that? Here’s your answer, you will never meet the right person sitting at home watching Netflix’s. You have to get up and see what’s out there. The worst that can happen is you never see that person again. You miss every shot you don’t take. I saw put on your nicest outfit, do your hair, and go on that date. 

Valentine’s Day is only stressful because you make it that way. It’s just another day and this year specifically, it is just any other Wednesday. Do not let a day determine your value. You determine your value! If things don’t work out, find something that makes you laugh, eat some good food, and get some really good sleep. Plus, on the 15^th all of the candy is 50% off. Happy Valentine’s Day lovelies.
