(Bad) Tips on Surviving Being Single on Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is the day where you spend time with your love one. You prepare to go all out to show that special someone how much you love them. It is a time to go all romantic. Taking you beau out to a romantic dinner, take them to a move, shower them with roses, or even give them a adorable teddy bear with a card saying how much you "wub" them. It is great day to love or be loved, except you're not. Valentine's Day can really suck for the single and lonely. You don't have anyone to call your own and you can hear the world laughing at your. It sucks, but it doesn't have to. So, put down that Romantic Comedy DVD and don't adopt any cats just yet. Here's what you can do to bitch slap Valentine's Day.

1. Stay away from couples 

Being around couples on Valentine's Day can be cruel. It's like dangling a steak in front of a hungry dog. Being the third wheel is NO fun. Seriously, they get all lovey dovey, calling each other cute names, and kissing, while you're sitting there all mopey, bitter, and wanting to shoot yourself. You don't need to deal with the constant reminder that you're forever alone. Avoid place where you think couple might go like restaurants or movie theaters. You'll thank me.

2. Stay away from bitter lonely people

So, what's worst than gushy love couples, bitter lonely people. I know it might sound nice to hang out with your fellow losers in love, but it's not. Just like you don't want to be around a group of people who remind you that you are alone, you don't want to be around people that remind you are alone and then complain about why they're alone and why everything sucks. Plus, the longer you are their, they start letting out all their angry and bitter feelings and it gets awkward and ugly. Quick.

3. Alcohol is your friend

What to do when your life sucks? Drink! Alcohol doesn't judge. It's a major stress reliever. You'll need it to get through this day. Jack Daniel's is a classy gentleman and he knows how to treat you right. Just be a little careful not to be one of those people who drinks and cries, letting all their problems out with every tear (it's not cute) and drink in moderation. Jack likes to have a little too much fun at your expense.

4. Go to the club

So, you're all liquored up and don't know where to go? The club! It will do you good to have a little fun. I know there might be couples and bitter people there, but they're at a good proximity from you, so it's all good. Dance, laugh, drink more! Let all you dating life troubles and the bitterness of singledom melt away on the dancefloor. Plus, if you get to have a bit of a laugh seeing all the desperate people try to hook up and you'll maybe see some of the couples break up in one night.

5. Prepare to pillage the stores for chocolate the next day
What's the best way to end this Valentine's Day? Cheap left over chocolate stores are trying to get rid off. Stores are hell bent to get people to buy a ton of crap for V-Day and are even more willing to get rid of it for the next few days. Plus, they go well with your leftover alcohol!
