One is only the loneliest number if you let it be.
One is also the number of people who get to decide to eat whatever they want, watch whatever they want, wear whatever they want, go wherever they want.
If you’re single this Valentine’s Day, embrace your oneness and live your best life with these handy tips.
Go out with your friends

That means hitting the least romantic bar you can think of, going to the least Valentine’s Day appropriate movie, or breaking a sweat by teaming up to play your favorite sport. Whatever you do, there’s strength in numbers, and you're sure to have a great time with your closest pals!
Cook yourself something nice

Instead, hit the grocery store, pick up some nice wine from the shop, and treat yourself to a romantic dinner for one. A nice steak, maybe, or a hearty bowl of carbonara would fit the bill, but so would something a little healthier if that’s your definition of a treat. This is the day for you to do you!
Cut out of work early

Instead, call it a half day, skip the rush hour traffic, and do anything you want with the evening. This is the perfect excuse to leave work and catch up on all those shows and movies you've been putting off due to your busy schedule!
Pamper yourself

Take a trip
Time for a road tripHalfpoint / Getty ImagesThere’s nothing like the open road and the wind on your back. If you’re worried about feeling trapped in your single life, escape it physically by taking a weekend trip out of town. You’ll hardly have time to think about your relationship status while checking out a new town, exploring the great outdoors, or meeting new people.
Spend time with family

Buy yourself a gift
