Being single on Valentine's Day can be depressing or no big deal, depending on your perspective. Here's how to make it no biggie.


I was single on Valentine's Day until I was 37, and I sort of minded but not really. What bothered me the most was the stigma surrounding being single on Valentine's Day: people felt sorry for me, or wanted to unite with me and form an anti-Valentine's Day campaign. "Valentine's Day is for LOSERS!!!" my unhappy single friends cried.

Neither option appealed to me.

If you're single on Valentine's Day - and it bothers you - then read 7 Ways to Enjoy Valentine's Day When You're Unattached. It's not about pity parties or anti-Valentine's Day rages; it's just about accepting the hype and being who you are, single or married.

Don't forget that thousands of couples are unhappily spending Valentine's Day together, and thousands of singles couldn't care less what day it is. If you're like me, you care more about what others think and less about the fact that you're alone on Valentine's Day. My article will help put it in perspective.

And, don't forget that you're not alone. I wrote Single on New Year's Eve a couple days before the big night, and it's STILL getting alot of attention. You won't be the only person single on Valentine's Day -- but you could be the most content.
