Friday is Valentine's Day? It's OK. We have your back

Posted by Zainab Amin | Thursday, February 13, 2014 | Posted in , , , , , , ,

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about love and romance, but sometimes Cupid’s arrow is dipped in anxiety.
Fancy restaurants book up a month ahead of time. The Black Friday vibe at bakeries and chocolatiers sucks the love out of the air. Hotels and getaways take careful planning. And if you’re single, sometimes you just want to be distracted.
So here we are, one day before love’s big day, and maybe you’ve yet to figure things out. Don’t trip. I’ve mastered last-minute plans for Valentine’s Day.
It’s my thing. It started six years ago when everyone else was on dates except me and a friend. After one quick call, we decided on Dave & Buster’s arcade at The Legends. No candy, no flowers. We were careful to make it an anti-date. We even drove separate cars.
I had only one request. He had to help me win a prize. You’re not doing Dave & Buster’s right if you don’t leave with a giant stuffed animal or something.
Skee-Ball, Pop-a-Shot and Jumping Jackpot (seriously, try this game, it’s virtual jump rope and fun to play, even funnier to watch) earned us enough tickets to snag a Care Bear.

Singles’ V-Day survival kit

It's that time of the year yet again, when red becomes everyone's favourite colour and everything starts looking like hearts. 

And if you're one of those who dread walking out of the house because everything about Valentine's reminds you of how single you are — fret not — here's a list of things you could do to enjoy the festival of PDA in all your single glory! 

Have a house party
If you're the type who doesn't like to hang out alone, why not invite some friends over for a singles' party? As cliched as it sounds, you could even try having an all-guy gaming session or an all-girl pajama party or just have all your single friends over to hang out. 

Movie anyone?
Okay, let's face it. You're one of those who actually feel sad about not having a date on Valentine's. Well, pamper yourself with some sympathy then — yes you read right! If you have nobody to listen to you crib about being single on V-Day and if that's all you want — rent out some super romantic films and cry yourself a river about how beautiful love is. It will definitely make you feel better and you don't have to tell anyone about this ever! 

Have an evening in
Stepping out on the evening of Valentines is probably a bad idea even if you just want to grab a quick cuppa. Short of heart shaped confetti raining atop your head, everything cheesy is bound to happen to you, including uncomfortable coffee-shop PDA and long waiting hours, almost everywhere. So why not stay in for a bit, make yourself a delicious cup of cinnamon coffee (or whichever way you like it) and cook yourself an elaborate meal.
