what to do for valentines day when you are all alone and single with no one to love?

Question

hey guys,
I am 17, going to be 18 in march and year after year its the same crap on valentines day or night that everyone who has someone goes out with them and sometimes when my friends want to go out and they make me join them. I feel as if i am a third wheel to everything.its just really sad.My friends and i have grown up with me through the years and we would always hang out together no matter what holiday.now that we are getting older, everyone has someone and i am alone and its kinda sad. My friends tell me that its not any different year after year but for me it is, they have boyfriends or girlfriends that get to sit with them and what not and i am just sitting there watching them have a good time and i always feel alone.Well this year i dont really want to go with them even though they are begging me too, but i dont want another sad valentines.There was this guy that i really liked this past summer more than any guy that i ever liked before, but it didnt work out, what next?

Answer 1

If your just looking for something to do for Valentines Day start a tradition. Something you enjoy doing that could take your mind or change your focus off of the day. Could be anything- like volunteering or making cards for those alone on the Holiday too. I know it sounds corny but at least everytime the Holiday comes up you will have something else to focus on than just being alone.

Hey I'm in the same position and my sister and I decided that we should do something nice for someone else on Valentines day, I am visiting my 95 year old friend because I have a feeling she'll be alone, my sister is taking a girlfriend out for lunch. Even if it's just something little doing something that will brighten somebody elses day will brighten yours

Here is what you do. Have a girls night out and go to a club with lots of guys there. Split up. If any one of your friends gets hit on, have them either say they are taken, but know somebody that's not or have them give out your phone number.
