To not be in a relationship does not mean that you're not loved by the ones around, all that it means is that you're in a different space than what those "happily in love" counterparts are.

And when you can still share a similar sense of happiness, even if you're not "in love" with anyone but your friends and family, who needs to be a part of the conventions of Valentine's day.

So let's embark on a course of happiness this once, and let's walk across how singles do it all differently yet happily on Valentine's day. 

Gifts Are For All Not Just Baes

Couples

Gifting is a conventional element of Valentine's day and you ask any couple around you, they'll come up with so many reasons to do so. Splurging on "love" or just showing off their riches, one should seriously consider the materialistic approach of grading their feelings with these gifts before resorting to such things. 

VS

Singles

Singles, on the other hand, can simply do it for themselves. Gifting yourself something you wanted since long is equally amazing a thought for valentine's day. Know what you can make it even better for those little furballs who would never demand but give away every second of their lives in loving you. Just treat your pets with an hour of your busy schedule and which would be so much better than anything else. Satisfying and completely rejuvenating, you'll cherish these moments throughout your life. And even if you're still keen on gifting things, then look anywhere but in a mirror for that person.

Dates Are Good But With Friends They're Better

Couples

Couples spend days and months planning the perfect date for Valentine's day and given these efforts put in, the outcomes never satisfy the expectations raised. Something or the other that doesn't fall in place, makes the entire setup go wrong. And after the day, for which you had planned since forever, there's nothing you can do to make amends apart from waiting for the next year to come.

Singles

But singles don't have to, they have friends and with whom they can head out to have fun whenever they wish to. Things that go wrong make for laugh-worthy memories and there's nothing that can embarrass a group of pals on a mad-spree of fun. You wouldn't deny but impromptu plans are always the best and that's something you can't really have for a Valentine's Day plan with the special one.

Cuddles Are Not Just Romantic, They're Platonic & Harmless For One & All

Couples

Hands down, cuddles make the world seem a better place to be. Enveloped in love? There's nothing more comfortable or satisfying a place than the arms of that special one in your life. On occasions like Valentine's Day, these gestures seem to be the best gifts of life. 

VS

Singles

But even if you don't have that special one to cuddle with, you can simply hug someone from your friends or family. And we know that you're not used such emotional displays much often, but on such a day, a warm hug or a never-ending cuddle would work wonders for you. If you happen to have a pet, then you're in luck more than anyone else in this world, just get hold of those cute little reasons of your smiles and elevate your happiness to a whole new level.

Wine Sessions Are So Overrated! Daru Parties Are Not

Couples 

Drinking wine while lost in your lover's eyes, what a treat for your soul! Indeed, and when on an occasion like Valentine's day, when the entire world around kind of conspires for the two of you to come closer, such things mark a special node of love. Being a little tipsy on your senses only makes things comfortable among. For the rest of such nights have a lot to be left unsaid.

VS

Singles

And singles don't believe in such things, for they believe in getting sloshed away to the morning. Dancing to those peppy numbers and mingling with whoever they find fun enough to be with. With no strings attached, their Valentine's day gets wilder, worthier and better than those who wish to seal away those moments within their love.

Books Make For The Longest Conversations That Are Not Over The Phone  

Couples

Long conversations and "making a moment" worth remembering is something that's easy to be said and much difficult to bring alive, but that's with every couple ever. They don't understand that these things happen, you don't force them on occasions like Valentine's or so. Clutching onto the phones even after spending an entire day with an inch of space between the two, one can only talk about so much over the phone. And to read a book would only make you selfish for not spending the same time with the other half.  

VS

Singles

But singles do not have to fall prey to such things, they have long conversations, either with their pets or with themselves. And reading a book makes for a perfect conversation with one's mind. On occasions like Valentine's, such a thing is orgasmic enough for you and makes it all a perfect evening for anyone who wouldn't have someone to talk to. They don't have to force thoughts or moments out of themselves, but they can resort to reliving a tale through a set of words they come across in a book.

Romantic Dinners? Nahhh! BYOB Night Stays Are Cool!

Couples

Valentine's Day cannot be deemed complete before a romantic candlelit dinner. Undeniably, such things only add to the feeling of love, a beautiful setting, some soothing music and dim lights make the occasion more memorable in every sense. Delving in each others' eyes, with a glass of wine, talking of those moments that brought the two lovebirds together, makes all the worries of life fade away. And which is also the true meaning of Valentine's Day, a day for your relationship to rekindle the flame of love. 

VS

Singles

And singles do it on a rather wilder note. For even they do talk about cherished memories, even they enjoy the ambience around or just the booze makes it all seem nice, but that's what being single is, not having to need anything but your friends and some good times. For which a BYOB stayover works just fine. On such an occasion, singles can call over all their not-in-love companions and laugh out the miseries of life away. No one would judge and it's going to be so much fun. Just that the music would be a little different than soothing anyways.

Being in a relationship or single on valentine's day, it doesn't make any substantial difference anymore. Given the options for anyone to pamper and oneself, and even to spread the love around, without necessarily making it for the one and only, you can still have the best of Valentine's Day experiences ever.
