Valentine’s Day can be an interesting time of year. It can be a day of love and sweet romance but there can also be a lot of pressure. If you do happen to be in a relationship there are the inevitable questions of “where are you going?”, “what are you doing?”, “did you get them anything special?”
If you aren’t in a relationship… well there’s no less pressure but the questions change a bit. “Do you have a date?” “Why not?” “What about _____?” “Have you tried _____?” “Have you thought about online dating?”
It can be a bit frustrating. Valentine’s Day may not be that big a deal for some people. And if you don’t have a date, so what? Make the day about you instead. Treat yourself! Get a manicure, make yourself a nice dinner. Curl up in front of the TV with a bowl of popcorn and your favourite movie. Or if you are feeling social, turn it into a friends’ night! Go out dancing or stay in with your girls. Put together an awesome potluck dinner and have a board game night.
Valentine’s Day is a day of love! Love your partner, love your friends, love yourself.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
