Valentines day may be considered a holiday to spend time with your significant other, but it’s not just couples who get to have all the fun.

So don’t just sit around and do nothing. Here are 10 things you can do when your single of Valentines Day.
1. Get to know yourself.
The first thing you should do is get to know yourself. Take time to understand what makes you happy and not dwell on the fact that you need to have a “significant other” to feel better about yourself. Realizing how unique and valuable you are can set up a positive outlook on life. Confidence in yourself is key.

5. Participate in a "Secret Valentines"
