How To: Spend Valentine’s Day

           

If you’re single:

Go on a girl date.
Get your friends together and go through the motions of an actual date without the pesky assumption that you have to put out at the end of the night.

Gorge yourself on chocolates.
Any day that gives you an excuse to eat copious amounts of chocolate should be a day to celebrate, regardless of who you’re with. So go ahead and dig into that fondue pot, chocolate fountain, and heart shaped box of awesome. You deserve it.

Have a horror movie marathon.
There’s nothing quite like watching the fictional massacre of happy couples on a day that forces you to acknowledge how single you are. I recommend My Bloody Valentine. The original is a classic, but the remake has Jenson Ackles and Kerr Smith to provide candy for your eyeballs.

Get drunk.
You never really need an excuse to do this but all of my incredibly scientific research has shown that if you go to a bar on Valentine’s Day alone, lots of dudes will buy you drinks.

Celebrate your singleness.
Being single is nothing to be ashamed of. As a matter of fact, it’s actually completely awesome. You don’t have to schedule your day around anyone else’s plans, you can hang out with your friends every night of the week, and you can hook up with whomever you want. The right person will show up eventually so, in the meantime, enjoy your unattached freedom.

If you’re in a relationship:

Have sex.
That is all.
