How to Be Your Own Valentine
Look, I love February—it’s cozy, it’s vibey, and it gives me an excuse to romanticize my life. But Valentine’s Day? That’s a different story. Every year, I swear I won’t care, and then BAM—suddenly, I’m third-wheeling my bestie’s date night, eating the chocolates her boyfriend got her, and questioning my entire existence.
But let’s be real—being single on Valentine’s Day isn’t the end of the world. Yeah, seeing couples all lovey-dovey might make you wanna gag (or cry, no judgment), but you’re also young, hot, and thriving. Whether you’re fully single or just spending the day apart from your situationship, you can still make V-Day iconic.
So instead of sulking, let’s flip the script. Treat it like any other day or turn it into a self-love extravaganza. And if you need ideas? Don’t worry, I got you.
📚 Date Night with a Book Boyfriend
Why settle for one real-life man when you can have an entire bookshelf full of fictional men who actually say the right things? Exactly.
Pick a book boyfriend who gives you butterflies, set the mood with candles and a comfy blanket, and let him take you on an emotional rollercoaster—all without the drama of ghosting or bare-minimum effort. Bonus points if you dress up like you’re going on an actual date (but for yourself, duh).
And that’s just one way to make V-Day fun solo. Wanna turn it into a full-on main character moment? 💖.
🍕 Romanticize Your Own Life
Order your favorite takeout, play some vibey music, and pretend you’re the main character in a coming-of-age movie. Whether you’re eating pasta like you’re in an Italian romance or sipping wine like a mysterious femme fatale, commit to the bit.
🎬 Binge the Anti-Rom-Coms
Forget sappy love stories—watch movies where love is messy, chaotic, or straight-up nonexistent. Gone Girl, Legally Blonde, John Tucker Must Die—the vibes are unmatched.

🛍️ Buy Yourself Something Nice
No one to spoil you? No problem. Hit “add to cart” on that thing you’ve been eyeing. Flowers? Cute new jewelry? A little treat just because? You deserve it.
🛁 Indulge in a Solo Spa Night
A face mask, your favorite drink, and zero distractions? Sounds like the best date ever. Run a bath, light some candles, and relax like the unbothered queen you are.
💌 Write a Love Letter… to Yourself
Yeah, it sounds cheesy, but hear me out—write down everything you love about you. Your humor, your kindness, your ability to survive cringe 2012 Facebook posts. Keep it somewhere safe and reread it when you need a reminder of how iconic you are.
🎤 Go Full Karaoke Mode
Nothing heals the soul like scream-singing Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson at full volume. Put on your breakup anthems (even if you’re not going through one) and let it out.
🎭 Take Yourself on a Date
Dress up, go to a fancy restaurant, and order exactly what you want. No one’s stealing your fries tonight.
💃 Go Out Dancing
Call your other single besties and hit the town. Flirt, dance, and live your best life. Or, if you’re feeling antisocial, throw a solo dance party in your room.
🛏️ Take the Best Nap of Your Life
Because honestly? Self-care sometimes means passing out under the softest blankets possible and ignoring the world.
🎮 Play a Cozy or Chaotic Game
Cozy gaming (Stardew Valley) for the wholesome vibes, chaotic gaming (GTA, The Sims) for the burn it all down energy. Pick your mood.
🧘 Try Manifesting
Instead of crying about being single, manifest the partner of your dreams. Make a vision board, write down your dream relationship, and act like it’s already happening.

💗 Remind Yourself: You’re That Girl
Single or not, Valentine’s Day is about love—and that includes self-love. Hype yourself up, spoil yourself, and remember that you are hot, hilarious, and thriving.
Moral of the story? Valentine’s Day is literally just another day—but if you’re gonna celebrate, make sure it’s all about you. 💖
