How Do You Deal With Being Single On Valentines Day And How Would Spend Your Day?

I think this is the very first time all of my sisters are single on Valentines day. Two of them just got out of long serious relationships and I know they’ll be hurting. How would you deal and what would you choose to do with your day instead?

Sometimes the best presents are the least expensive. Get the Digital Photo Keychain for people you dig!

    The best way to meet people is to have something better to do than being in a relationship. I’ve been a race car driver, I travel, I meet people, I’m sure to be as social as possible and life is good enough that I don’t need a relationship to feel good about myself.
    Everyone has had that relationship where they could’ve gotten married but the person wasn’t for them. Think of spending Valentine’s day single as a declaration of independence: “I’m the one in control of my life! Someday I’ll meet someone *I* like, and then I’ll decide to spend my time with them!”
    The whole mindset you’re talking about is dangerous. It’ll lead you into relationships you don’t really want just so you’re not single.

    I would get all of my sisters together and have a “pamper day”. You don’t have to have a significant other to celebrate Valentine’s Day.Instead celebrate the love that you have for yourself and for life! Go to a spa or have a spa day at home. Get a manicure, pedicure and a massage or give each other one. Go out to a nice restaurant and happy hour. Go to the movies together. Give all of your sisters a single rose with a card attached saying “you are always loved”. Just have a whole day of self love and happiness for life! Enjoy!

    Valentines day is considered single awareness day so you and your sisters need to get together go out and have fun. Be each others Valentine go get a 50 cent box of hearts and a rose give it to each other then go to dinner and see a movie a comedy or horror no love story. While at dinner talk about how sorry men are and how they are the dumbest sex in the world. By the end of the night you guys should feel a lot better about life. Remember the relationships they just got out of means those men where not the ones they were supposed to be with which means their soul mate will come just be patient and enjoy being single.

    I would choose to celebrate sisterhood and girlhood instead…enjoy being single all of you and go out with your sisters and celebrate that you don’t have to buy or recive any tacky gifts!!! Valentine’s day is only a comercial day anyway it doesn’t mean anything. Buy your sisters something that will make them laugh or just write them a little msg or how much they mean to you…and then enjoy eachother company by doing what you like best eg.dinner,or girly night in or hit the town!!!Have fun!!!

    Go to the movies! Why? because you are not going to be alone and the chances of meeting someone is also very very high because there is always that DUPREE that tags alone with couples because he is lonely too, or even a single male in your very same position so you might be lonely but not alone and single but ready to mingle by no means get drunk because a bar is the last place you want to be on Val. day because that’s where all the losers hang out hoping to catch a stray Quickie. P.S Do not choose a romantic movie go for more of an action movie where there will be more men.

    They might want to send themselves a box of Chocolates and some Roses. Then resolve to enjoy both.
    What’s wrong with being single?
    Obviously their relationships were not working out. Now they are free to look for a better fit.
    All of your single sisters might find it healthy and fun to get together and go to museums, take long walks, treat themselves to dinners out, or travel.
    Why not just enjoy being single for awhile?

    its just valentines day, not finding your soulmate. My bf and i spent the past 2 valentines apart cuz its not really that big of a deal. Department stores try to make it a big deal with all their teddy bears and stuff, its just another day.
    This year i will be cleaning the house and helping him redo the bathroom floor.

    The three of you should definately go out together and eat a nice dinner.
    Valentines day is for love..not just couples!!! Remember back in grade school everyone got a cheesy little card in your class even if it was the geek who picks his nose??? lol
    Share good times and love with your sisters instead. Eat some great Italian food!

    I’ve been single for 5 years. No matter how hard I try to think of it as just another day, it sucks to see everyone get flowers and presents.
    Why don’t you guys do something like a secret cupid. Everyone put their name in a hat, pull a name, and get something really nice for that sister. Go out to eat that night together and exchange gifts.

    All good answers above - but IF this a real concern to you, send yourself a card and get a life.
    OR, go on some appropriate singles site/blog and start a Valentines Exchange Group - better hurry.
    Be careful what you ask for - you will probably get some weild-o’s

    Sounds like this would be a g reat time to lean on each other and make it a special day for your sisters…plan a special dinner at one house or all of you go out to dinner together…sharing a single rose with each sister when you do.

    Ill be single this year so my best friend and I (who is also single) are going to have a fancy dinner and be each others’ Valentine!
    Just because you don’t have a man doesnt mean you cant be with someone who you care about and celebrate!

    TREAT YOURSELF TO SOME CHOCOLATE AND DINNER AND A MOVIE. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO BE ALONE. YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF. LOVE YOURSELF. HAVE A PRIVATE PARTY. DONT INVITE NO ONE BUT YOU YOUR ANGELS AND HAVE AGOOD TIME. CELEBREATE THE WOMEN YOU HAVE BECOME.

    I’m sorry to hear that. But, why don’t you all get a room at a hotel downtown, and go out together. Get all dressed up! Really bring your inner Beyonce out!! Make sure you bring lots of movies, magazines, and ice cream.

    I think of all the girls who were hot in high school and college and were stuck up and now are washed-up old hags.
    I am going to a singles bar to pick up some lonely babe and have some no-strings attached fun.

    I just try my hardest to treat it as a normal day really and don’t think bout it. I think it a stupid day personally as it’s not a day everyone can celebrate!

    I would invite over all of my other single girl friends and either just have like a movie night and order pizza and eat ice cream, or all get together and go out to eat someplace nice; dress up and make themselves look pretty so they can feel good about themselves!

    When I was single, I spend Valentines celebrating all the people I loved instead of dwelling on a man I didn’t have. I bought gifts for my family and friends and partied with all my other single friends. It was great.

    Ummm…..
    Valentine’s Day is a day basically invented by businesses to make money, so maybe you could keep that in mind.
    It doesn’t actually mean anything.

    Valentines day is just a regular day… even when Im in a relationship I dont celebrate it…. why? whats the point of it? I celebrate love everyday… why should you have one day a year just for love? its stupid and pointless…

    Suck it up. It’s a commercialised “holiday” made for sappy losers. And hallmark.
