In preparation for the bombardment of love songs, chocolate candy and roses this Valentine’s Day, here is a list of things any lonely heart can do 100% solo this holiday.

1. Treat yourself.

Why not buy yourself a nice meal? It’s not like someone else is going to do it for you…

2. Third wheel.

If you have friends in a relationship, follow them around for the day. (If you don’t know how to do that, feel free to ask me. I am a pro.)

3. Netflix Alone.

4. Get yourself some chocolate.

Valentine’s candy is already on sale at Safeway…

5. Go to an animal shelter.

Find some puppies to keep you company.

6. Write a listicle about being single on a romantic holiday!

Go ahead; join Odyssey while you're at it.

7. Go out and have fun.

Let’s be real, there will be other singles out there hoping to mingle.

8. Bake a cake for yourself.

9. Eat the cake by yourself.

10. Go on a solo adventure.

Find somewhere near you and take a hike!

11. Download a Tinder.

You might find the one?

12. Delete your Tinder.

13. Learn the alphabet in Sign Language.

Why not?

14. Take up knitting.

15. Read a romance novel.

16. Go workout.

While everyone is indulging in fancy dinners and chocolate candies, you’ll be working on self-betterment. Another benefit: the gym will be full of other singles.

17. Practice your pick-up lines.

18. Get informed

Read up on what’s happening around you. Thinking about President Trump? Check out the top 50 Reasons Donald Trump is an unfit president.

19. Go to a spa.

Fill the void in your life with essential oils, incense, and the attention of manicurists.

20. Watch a horror movie.

Scare yourself out of your wallowing.

21. Write a love letter to the person you like.

22. Build up courage (whether it be literal or liquid), and send that letter.

23. FaceTime with family.

Unless your parents and siblings all have V-Day plans.

24. Get your errands done.

Do that load of laundry that’s been sitting on your floor for the past week. Clean up a bit. Maybe shave.

25. Go about your day like you normally would.

You don’t have to conform to society’s expectations. Go out and live the independent life! You don’t need anyone else to make you happy.
