No date on Valentine’s Day? No problem!

When we think about Valentine’s Day, we often associate it with going on dates with our significant other, receiving gifts or even romantic gateways. But for some, no matter how much we try to avoid or ignore the suffocating amount of love all over, there’s nowhere to hide. Whether you are boo’ed up, single or just spending the day apart from your partner, there are a whole lot of fun activities you can do alone or even with your friends.

This lovers’ day, we urge you to show yourself some of the love you so generously give to the people around you. Having fun does not require a date or any particular reason; all it takes is you doing an activity that you enjoy. Whether it is a solo dinner, watching a movie or just a simple self-care ritual. And if you are still on the fence about the idea, we got you! Here are 7 exciting solo date ideas that may spike your interest and allow you to have the best day ever – no partner required.

1. Self care at home – Ever experienced the epitome of self-care? Picture this: immersing yourself in a lavish skincare session at home.
