Love, schmove. When you are a couple, Valentine’s Day is one of the most exciting days of the year. When you are single, you sometimes want to throw things at those happy couples.
However, the one thing we forget is that Valentine’s Day is not just about couples, it is a celebration of love and even if you are single there is probably lots of love in your life. Here are some great ways to put love back into your Valentine’s Day.

Throw a “Not For Me” Party. Singles have to start helping each other out! Based on the Used Date Party from Sex and the City, all you have to do is invite five single friends and have them do the same. Each person invited is expected to bring someone that is great just “not for them.” All of a sudden you have twenty-five singles that all have a Seal of Approval. Who knows, maybe you will meet someone, and become half of one of those annoying couples next year.

If you are feeling a little grumpy about love, go out and get inspired. Want to create a true memorable experience? Grab a video camera and find the true meaning of Valentine’s Day. Spend the afternoon or evening talking to couples of all ages and find out how they met, when they knew they were in love and biggest love lessons for a successful relationship. It is a memory that you can visit for years to come and can share with that special someone when you meet them.
Share
Want to make another single friend’s day? Create a scrapbook of love. If you think they are pretty, probably lots of other people do too. Buy a journal or scrapbook and talk to their family, friends, co-workers or anyone who wants to share what is so fantastic about them and why they are so lovable. Create a page for them, add their picture and have them share a story. It will make their day and yours!
