WELL, STOP IT ALREADY! Seriously, I say those "in" a relationship could dread the day even more. Heck, they might even envy us singletons. Why? Because we have virtually NOTHING we absolutely have to do!
NEWSFLASH: NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BE SINGLE!
Don't believe me? Take a look at The Top 10 Reasons It's Great To Be Single... MARIE CLAIRE inspired my list. Here's their top 10 (#4 is my favorite). their Top 10, and here's my own spin on Cupid's favorite day of the year!
10. A night of free therapy courtesy of the local karoake bar ("You Give Love A Bad Name," anyone?).
9. An excuse to use that only-good-once-a-year cheesy pick-up line at a single's bar: "Will you be my Valentine?" Watch his eyes glaze over at the thought!
8. Silently pitying (for once) your attached friends as they bemoan all the things they feel like they're obligated to do on Valentine's Day.
7. You, on the other hand, are looking forward to a night on the couch. In your pajamas, of course!
6. NOT having to smile through clenched teeth as you open the same card Mr. Loverboy got you last year (and the year before and the year before). BONUS POINTS ALERT if the 'loving' prose he wrote inside the card sound eerily familiar too.
5. NOT feeling an ounce of guilt for Googling/Facebooking/Cyber-hunting your high school crush and still thinking he's hot.
4. NO awkward silences over a cliched first-date dinner with a man whose online profile said he worked in the home repair business (translation: he lives at home, but as he says, "I do my own laundry"). BONUS POINTS ALERT if he also generous enough to mow his mother's lawn when she asks. TRIPLE POINTS ALERT if said mother makes an in-person appearance on said date.
3. Two words: Ben & Jerry. All night long.
2. Throwing a fun '80s party with your gal pals. Richard Marx is STILL sexy, dammit!
1. You can buy yourself Valentines because you know you'll always be more special than any old Mr. Lover.
