How to Survive Valentine's Day Single

A 10 step guide to getting through Lover's Day, without a lover

How to Survive Valentine's Day Single
The Odyssey

February 14th is a dangerous day. Whispers of dinner plans at fancy restaurants. Heart shaped boxes of chocolate. Bouquets of flowers. Marriage proposals. It's a cruel world for the relationshipless population. But rest assured, I have composed a simple 10 step plan to get all my fellow single ladies through Valentine's Day in one piece- more or less.

1. Stay in your pajamas all day

No boyfriend? No one to impress. An oversized sweatshirt and fuzzy socks feel better than cuddling anyway.

2. Cook yourself a killer breakfast

You would make a bombass wife, but oh well, his loss.

3. Put your phone someplace out of reach

If you can't see all the gushy Instagrams, Tweets, and Snapchats it's easier to pretend everyone else is just as miserable single as you.

4. Hit the gym

Maybe the key to love is not having love handles??

5. Order in your favorite takeout

Chances are the delivery guy is single too...this could lead something...

6. Watch a Rom-Com

The Proposal, 10 Things I Hate About You, When Harry Met Sally, and anything Nicholas Sparks

7. Pour yourself a glass of wine

Pro of being single: you get the drink the whole bottle yourself

8. Eat a ton of ice cream

It fills a void no boy could ever reach

9. Cry a bit

But don't get your tears in the wine, you don't want to dilute it

10. Fall asleep enjoying the fact that you don't have to share the bed

Who's the real winner here?


If you closely follow these 10 steps, I can almost guarantee that you will make it through Valentine's Day alive.

*** Results may vary. These steps do not guarantee any relationship in the foreseeable future.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
