Because being single is actually elite
Valentine’s Day: the one day a year when you can’t scroll for two seconds without seeing I love you posts, overpriced roses, and those cringey TikToks of couples fake laughing at dinner. Cute? Sure. Exhausting? Absolutely.
But here’s the thing—just because you’re single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you have to spend it sulking while rewatching Bridgerton (unless, of course, that’s your vibe). Being single is elite, and I’m here to show you how to romanticize your own damn life on February 14th.
Step 1: Romanticize Your Day Like It’s a Movie
Who said romance is reserved for couples? Take yourself on the ultimate main character date. Think:
💖 Brunch with bottomless mimosas (because self-love).
💖 A solo museum date—bonus points if you pretend you’re the mysterious stranger in an indie film.
💖 A trip to your favorite bookstore or coffee shop to sip something fancy and plot your villain era.
Whatever makes you feel like that girl, do it.
Step 2: Gift Yourself Something Fabulous
Valentine’s Day gifts? Yeah, you deserve one. Actually, make it two. If your situationship would’ve bought you a cheap bouquet, upgrade yourself to something better:
🌹 A luxury perfume (because smelling expensive = feeling expensive).

Georgette Eau De Parfum
ouai
Melrose Place Eau de Parfum
🌹 Jewelry, because why wait for someone else to ice you out?

🌹 A “just because” splurge—designer, tech, or skincare, treat yourself like the love of your life.

Step 3: Have a Galentine’s (or Anti-Valentine’s) Party
Single girls, assemble. Whether you go full Legally Blonde and throw a Galentine’s party or lean into the anti-Valentine’s Day chaos, the options are endless:
✨ Movie marathon (John Tucker Must Die is a must-watch).
✨ Chocolate, wine, and roasting past exes (he wasn’t even that cute).
✨ Matching pajamas, face masks, and girl talk that would make the FBI nervous.
Step 4: Avoid the “Wyd?” Text at All Costs
This is crucial. On Valentine’s Day, ghosts from the past will attempt to re-enter your life. Stay strong. If you get a lazy “wyd” text from Mr. Situationship at 10 p.m.? Ignore it. Or better yet, respond with, “Watching my standards rise.”
This is your day. Don’t let any low-effort man try to ruin it.
Step 5: Remember That Love Is So Much Bigger Than Romance
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about relationships—it’s about love. Love for your friends, family, and most importantly, yourself. So take the day to appreciate all the love in your life, whether it’s from your besties hyping you up, your dog who thinks you’re the best human ever, or your own damn reflection in the mirror.
Because the truth is? Being single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you’re missing out. It means you’re winning—because while others are settling, you’re thriving. 💅🏽
