Valentine’s Day is a magical holiday that calls for flowers and hearts everywhere and chocolate to be bought by the pound. Love is in the air, whether everyone likes it or not. And with the chocolate and cute pink decorations, comes the love and relationships and dates. February comes around and suddenly everyone feels the pressure to have a cute V-Day date. This holiday would be much better without the added pressure of making it such a special day with a special someone. From the thoughts of a completely unbiased single female, here’s a list of some of the things that are better than going on a Valentine’s Day date:
1. Snuggling with your roommate while tagging each other in memes.
You get to stay in your comfortable pajamas while being in your nice warm bed. You get to laugh endlessly at all of the memes that that one friend shares on Facebook. If this doesn’t sound like a good night, I don’t know what would.
2. Eating chicken nuggets.
This should speak for itself. Chicken nuggets > just about everything.
3. Having a glass of wine.
Or two. Or a bottle. You go, girl (or boy). No Valentine is there to judge you, so at least you can feel warm inside from something. Even if that something happens to be rosé and not a significant other.
4. Petting a dog.
Why would you snuggle with a human being when a fluffy dog is an option? Exactly, you wouldn’t.
5. Going for ice cream.
Who needs sweet nothings whispered in your ear when you could have sweet ice cream in a cone?
6. Reading a book.
Reading transports you to a different reality. Avoid all the stress of a relationship by living vicariously through fictional characters like any normal sane person that wants to avoid heartbreak.
7. Baking cupcakes.
Or cookies or one of the many recipes that your aunt shares on Facebook-usually whenever you’re super hungry and craving sugar. SO rude. So, what could be better than a night in baking these delicious things and then gorging yourself on all of them. You can wear your stretchy pants; you don’t have a date to go on.
8. Going on a shopping spree.
Treat yo self. Because who could ever treat you better than you treat you. And you deserve it.
9. Taking BuzzFeed quizzes.
You should know more about you before you bring a significant other into your life, and the best way to learn about yourself is to have BuzzFeed tell you.
10. Dance party.
Whether it’s by yourself or with your friends, you can blast some Shaggy and Snoop Dogg and dance like no one is watching. Because there’s so many better things than being self conscious and worrying about embarrassing yourself during dinner and a movie.
