Being single this Valentine’s Day can work in your favor. Instead of all the expectations that come with a relationship, you can have a good time without any strings attached.
Though there’s a rising movement to call February 14th “Single Awareness Day,” getting a date is easier than ever. For a stress-free date, turn to a trend that has been increasing by the year: Dating Apps. If you care about going out on the holiday, an easy way to find someone without the pressure of introducing yourself is with an app like Once. Once sends you a hand-picked match for you once a day. Real people are the matchmakers behind Once, not just a computer program. They will filter through all the random people you have nothing in common with, to find one worthy of meeting. If you both like each other, you have a chance to make a date out of it.
Beat the loneliness of watching romantic movies with a bottle of wine, and do something fun. Take the serious aspect that stores put on Valentine’s Day and throw it out the window. Meeting up with someone new for Valentine’s Day is more common than you’d think. If your dream date is a picnic in the park, do that. If it’s to go clubbing, do that. Single or not, you will have a great time bringing someone along instead of trying to meet someone when you’re out. Crazy expectations aren’t worth the stress. Keep it casual. Have a fun (and safe) time this Valentine’s Day.
