Okay there’s no getting around it: Valentine’s Day is near and some of us ladies are simply unattached, unspoken for…you know, single. *gasp* But it’s all good because we’re going to unite and paint the town red by loving and indulging ourselves also known as celebrating singlehood. We might as well be happy until Mr. Right shows up on the scene, right? Here are some important “do’s” and “don’ts” to get all the single ladies, all the single ladies through the season of love. Let’s go!
DO
* DO Chocolate. If you don’t have a strong, handsome man to buy some for you, so what. Get it for yourself. The richer and more decadent the better.
* DO Lingerie. Just because Mr. Right hasn’t found you yet doesn’t mean you can’t wear a cute matching set from Vicky’s. Put on your hottest one and admire yourself in the mirror. It’s definitely a confidence booster.
* DO Spa Treatment. Celebrate your freedom to pamper yourself all day long if you want. The best part of singlehood is that you create your own schedule and don’t have to check in with anyone. Live it up at the spa and be sure to take advantage of all the great amenities.
* DO Shop. All the independent women say “hey!!” You’re beautiful, hardworking and deserve to purchase a new LBD or nicely fitted pair of jeans along with some killer heels. After all, there’s nothing more attractive than a single stylish woman who wears confidence well.
* DO Girls’ Night. You do know that Magic Mike is more than just a movie, right? Nothing wrong with checking out a little eye candy with your best girlfriends. You’ll be surprised at how much fun and laughter is involved.
DON’T
* DON’T drunk dial your exes (or text or email or check his Facebook). In fact, erase the phrase “second chance” from your vocabulary. It may seem like a good idea, but don’t let this lonely day get the best of you. Nothing good will come from this. You’ll regret it the next day after the hangover has worn off. #Trust
* DON’T get a boyfriend just because Valentine’s Day is coming up. The day will come and go but the repercussions of a hasty relationship will not.
* DON’T go on Pinterest and start pinning up your wedding and creating a first-draft of your seating arrangements. You’re single, not crazy, right?
* DON’T make Valentine’s Day your first date. Talk about pressure! Other couples around you will be holding hands, kissing and snuggling while you are just trying to break the ice with a total stranger. It will leave the both of you uncomfortable. If you do have a first date lined up, set it for before or after… just not on the day of!
* DON’T stay home alone if you know you’re going to feel sad. Celebrate your loved ones by rounding up the single girl posse and going out for a night on the town. You’ll have more fun with your friends rather than staying in and crying into your chocolate ice cream while watching When Harry Met Sally.
