Being single is absolutely okay, and, actually, you don't need a partner to enjoy the most romantic time of the year. So don't let negative thoughts ruin the magic of the day for you or get you down. Remember, you're a unique individual who absolutely deserves love, and the most genuine love you can experience is the one you give yourself.

Although Valentine’s Day is known as a romantic holiday for couples, it doesn’t have to be a sad day for singles. It is understandable for single people to feel lonely and left out on February 14th. However, many people are single on Valentine’s Day, and it is possible to have a fun and fulfilling day, even if you’re alone.

If people choose to rub your "singleness" in your face on Valentine's Day, be strong and reply with compassion: "I like being single. I get to choose how I want to live without having to make compromises, meals, or even the bed."
