Good & Healthy Relationship Advice & Tips

Romantic Valentine's Day festival is much awaited by those in love but dreaded by singles. So much is the hype about the festival that some singles even become depressed about not having a partner several days before the festival when they see stores decorated with candies, chocolates and flowers to lure the ones in love.

Sometimes the sense of isolation becomes so strong that many singles tend to “hate Valentine's Day” - the day that is actually meant to celebrate love.

Many single men and women go to the extent of calling Valentine's Day a ‘Singles Awareness Day'. This is because they feel that the day strongly reminds them of their unattached status and not having someone to spend the day in a romantic and the much popularised way.

But dateless people must keep in mind that Valentine's Day is not just to be celebrated by romantically involved couples. The festival is celebrated to express love to anyone we are close to.

We can, therefore, celebrate Valentine's Day with friends, siblings, parents, grandparents, teachers or anyone who made a difference in our lives with their affection and support.

We must take opportunity of the Valentine's Day festival to express our love and gratitude to all persons we love. And what better way to do so than by saying it with a gift of roses, chocolates and beautiful cards.

Singles can make the most of Valentine's Day by spending the day in the company of those they love or by indulging themselves in something luxurious.

Here are some tips and ideas on how singles can celebrate the Valentine's Day in a charming and memorable fashion.

Pamper yourself

Buy yourself cute Valentine's Day gifts which could be flowers, a cute teddy or a dress you have been planning to buy since long.

Singles may also indulge themselves by going in for a spa or head to toe beauty treatment. Indulging in books, CDs, and gourmet meals can be a good way of enjoying the day for some.

Hang out with friends

Plan out a dinner or movie with best friends. You may also throw a “singles party” or “Un-Valentine's Day Party” at your home and have a blast.

You will know that life is fun in the company of loving friends.

Acts of service

Singles can spend Valentine's Day in a meaningful way by spending time with the needy and downtrodden. You may visit an orphanage or old age home and spend time with the inmates there who are always in need of love and affection.

Visiting hospitals and giving roses to the sick can also be a touching way of experiencing bliss on Valentine's Day.

Express gratitude to friends and dear ones

Instead of feeling depressed and ashamed of not having a significant other to spend the day with, singles can spend Valentine's Day in a constructive manner by expressing love and affection for people around them.

One can wish their parents, friends, colleagues, neighbours or anyone dear a happy Valentine's Day.

Think positive

Singles can make the most of Valentine's Day by thinking positive and fighting away Valentine's Day blues. One should not spend the day sulking for not having a spouse or beloved to spend the day with.

Focus on relationship plan

Singles can focus on their relationship plan on Valentine's Day and prepare themselves for healthy and lasting relationships. One can find help from dating and matrimonial sites to find a partner.

Also make a list of what you can do to improve your personality. It could be developing a more healthy and positive approach towards life or working towards one's diet, health and physical appearance.

Take steps you think are vital to improve your chances for a relationship. Make some resolutions for yourself and stick to them.
