How to have the ultimate ANTI-Valentine's Day if you're single AF

I'm not hating on love…but…

If you’re like me (obvs happily single) and wondering what you should do for Valentine's Day… how about the opposite of what everyone else is doing? 

I'm talking about eating messy food, watching weird or scary movies, reading smut, throwing axes, and screaming emo anthems.

I've got some handpicked recommendations on how to have the ultimate ANTI Valentine's Day. So let's get right into it.

What to watch

TBH, it’s not that I hate Valentine's Day, or that it's another reminder that I'm single, or the fact that there are couples publicly expressing their love to each other...wait, where was I going? 

Oh yes… movie suggestions. Surely the best antidote to all the lovey-dovey stuff is to watch the least romantic flicks ever: 

  • 'The Number 23' 

  • 'Gattaca'

  • 'Spring Breakers'

  • 'Blue Valentine'

  • 'Corpse Bride'

  • 'Ghost Ship'

What to eat 

An upside of being single? No getting ready for expensive dates and ordering something you don't want to eat for fear of ending up wearing it. These foods are widely known to be the worst things to eat on a date, so bib up, and let's chow down: 

What to read

Sometimes a good book is all you need to escape after a day of being reminded of your singledom. Fair warning… all the books have some sort of smut in them, which is absolutely fine seeing as there's no one reading over our shoulder. 

What to listen to

Now for the music, these are some songs to sing at the top of your lungs, throw sh** around, or go on a long drive and pretend you're in a music video - either way these songs will have your neighbors worrying.

  • 'Since You’ve Been Gone' - Kelly Clarkson 

  • 'Deuces' - Chris Brown feat Tyga

  • 'Revenge' - Pink feat Eminem 

  • 'King of Wishful Thinking' - Go West 

  • 'F** You' - Eamon 

What to do

If you’re thinking to yourself, “nah I think I want to go out and do something” - you SHOULD. Why not date yourself (and maybe let out some suppressed rage at the same time). 

  • Axe throwing

  • Rage Cage Smash Rooms - if you live in CHCH

  • Getting rolled icecream 

  • Book in a massage 

  • Get a bunch of your single friends and play laser tag, or grab your friends in a relationship and go play paintball…

Happy Valentine's Day to not only the couples but also to all you single sexy mofos! 

Whatever you end up doing just remember, as long as you’re having fun, and loving yourself, nothing else really matters xoxo
