1. You love yourself more than anyone else could.
No one knows you better than you do. Embrace who you are and love yourself on the day dedicated to love. Also, confidence is a very attractive personality trait so why not show it off?
2. You could care less about a commodified "holiday".
When it comes down to it Valentine's Day is a money producer. So what is this day really about? Showing those around you that you appreciate and love them or that you receive the most gifts and can brag about it on Facebook?
3. You have an excuse to treat yourself.
If you want pizza, go for it. You deserve to indulge every once in awhile.
4. You can just sleep through the whole day if you wish.
If there was a day to catch up on your sleep, make it Valentine's Day.
5. You can have a great night with friends.
Go ahead and plan a fun night with your closest friends. It is bound to be a blast and keep your mind off of romantic relationships.
6. You can still get your make out game on.
You may be single and very ready to mingle, so use human nature to your advantage and have some fun.
7. You don't have to try hard to meet anyone's expectations.
It is super common to go into new experiences with prior expectations of what will happen. If you are single no one is expecting anything from you on Valentine's Day, so live the day however you choose.
8. You save a ton of money.
Paying for fancy dinners, jewerly, watches, stuffed animals, flowers, chocolates, etc. on Valentine's Day can and does really add up. Congrats on saving your money.
9. There are plenty of other single people out there too.
There is not a better day in the year to go meet with other people who are looking for some love. You are both single so you already have one thing in common with the other person!
10. You can eat a whole box of chocolate in a judgement free zone.
Everyone deserves to indulge every once in awhile. So grab that box of chocolate or pint of ice cream and go at it. Pro tip: don't forget the discounted candy the day after Valentine's Day. Oh and also remember that the gym exists too.
11. You can decide to go on a blind date.
You are single, why not have some fun with other people who are single too? You may have a blast and get asked on another date!
12. Your best friend could ask you out to dinner.
You never know who could be crushing on you. Go for it. What do you have to lose?
13. You can't get broken up with on Valentine's Day.
Believe it or not it happens quite often. With all the hype associated with this holiday, people tend to think more seriously about what they really want in a significant other. No one wants to pretend to love someone and put in all the effort on this holiday if their feelings are not genuine.
14. You don't have to deactivate your Tinder Account.
Which is great because Tinder is totally the place to meet the love of your life, right? Well maybe not... but, at least, it can keep you entertained if you are feeling lonely.
Stay happy singles! <3
