There are many splendid, selfish things that you can do on your own or with your single friends:

• Hold a huge party where everyone has to bring along a single friend.

• Go to the movies or a gallery exhibition. The entry queues will be very short.
• Give yourself a pampering session at home.
• Invite all your girlfriends around and watch a whole pile of chick flicks. Copious amounts of alcohol and chocolates are optional, but highly recommended. Chanting the refrain “all men are selfish bastards” is also an optional extra that is bound to make you feel better.

If you are feeling utterly miserable try these feel better options:

• Contemplate those in the world who are worse off than yourself.
• Consider yourself fortunate to be living in a country where females have access to education and the Internet.
• Spare a thought for the females you know who are involved in unhappy relationships.
• Be thankful for your good health.
• Consider joining up on a dating website to rectify your singledom. We can highly recommend a site where dating sites are reviewed. You can review many dating websites there and find one that suits.

Being single on Valentine’s Day is not the end of the world. There can be many advantages to being on our own. There are many worse situations that other females face, involving their health and safety.
