Single on Valentine's Day? No problem!

By Natasha Jervis, About.com

If you found yourself single in Vancouver on Valentine's Day we have five great suggestions for you. Not only should you be doing this in Valentine's Day, but ALWAYS! Celebrate your single days and treat yourself to a day designed only for you!

1. Be Good to You

When you wake up be just as nice to yourself as you would a boyfriend, or girlfriend. Do some yoga, go for a nice walk, or go to the gym if you have one. Come home make yourself a yummy breakfast and then lie on the couch and watch one of your favorite movies or shows. Let yourself be stress free. For the rest of the day do nothing except eating your favorite foods, lounging around, watching movies, or going to the beach if your climate allows. Be good to you.

2. Treat Yourself

Just because you are not going on a romantic date with someone on Valentine's Day does not mean you shouldn't allow yourself to feel sexy and gorgeous. Do it for yourself and in the day head out to buy some sexy clothes and a new wardrobe. You work hard, so treat yourself. Go to the spa for a day, get a pedicure, or go play golf for the day. Whatever it is, do something for you.

3. Hang out with Single Friends

Plan a date with all your single friends. Make sure the get together is not about seeking out new partners. Live it up being single and enjoy time with your friends. Invite everyone to come to your house to play pictionary, sip wine, and listen to music. You can also all get together for movies, or just general chit chat in a pub over a few cold ones. Try to stay focused on being happy with your friends.

4. Go to a Movie!

Go to a movie on Valentine's Day and get a huge box of buttery popcorn for yourself, or other treats. Enjoy being in your own company and ignore the kissing couples. Sit up front in the theatre so you can avoid the mushy silhouettes!

5. Take yourself out to Dinner

Why not? You need to eat right?! WHy not head out for a luxurious meal for one. This is only for the strong, independant type on Valentine's Day. We don't want you crying in your french onion soup! Take yourself somewhere fancy and treat yourself like the Queen or King you are. Bon appetite!
