Valentine's Day is fast approaching.
For some it's the best, most romantic day of the year. For others, it's a reminder of just how single they are.
But don't get down in the dumps, there's plenty single folk can do to enjoy the 14th February.
Here's 14 things to do if you're single on Valentines Day.

Facebook cull

If you're particularly bitter and twisted, how about going through your Facebook friends list and unfriending a few people who don't quite make the grade any more.
How about removing 100 people. Then remove 50 more. It could be all you need to ease those Valentine's blues.

Stay away from social media

Facebook

Like? Stay away from social media for one day and enjoy the notification-free bliss

Alternatively, instead of indulging in some Facebook removals, why not have a day off social media?
There's no point in letting the romantic couples get you down with their lovey-dovey statuses, pictures and Vine clips.
Take some time out from Twitter and Co. and revel in the social-media free bliss.

Have a party

Why not host a party? What better way to forget your single troubles than by inviting your nearest and dearest round to yours for a good old fashioned knees up?
Order some party food, get a few beers and cocktails in, and party the night away.

Go to a party

Party time: Taylor Swift might not be there but it'll still be fun

Don't fancy hosting the shindig and dealing with the inevitable mess? Get yourself an invite to someone else's do.
Enjoy a night of partying and one or two shandys, and have none of the aftermath to sort out in the morning.

Drown your sorrows

A glass of wine, a can of beer, glass of Bailey's.
Whatever your tipple settle down and relax the night away.

And again...

Another glass of wine, can of beer, or glass of Bailey's.
If one isn't enough, treat yourself to a second.

Try a new DVD boxset            

Why not get into that must-see boxset that you've not had chance to watch yet? What better time to do it?
How about some medieval fare in Game of Thrones? Or Netflix political drama House of Cards? Or get your lawyer on with Suits.
The TV DVD world is your oyster.

Veg out

If you don't want to see the light of day on the 14th February, there's nothing wrong with that either.
Forget cooking, order takeaway or boil up a Pot Noodle and chill out in your own front room with the phone off the hook and your mobile on silent.

Treat yourself

Why not have a splurge? That jacket that you really want but can't really afford. Or those new shoes that have been begging you to buy them for weeks on end.
A bit of online retail therapy is sure to cheer you up.

Book a holiday

Forget clothing or shoes, if you really want to cheer your mood how about splurging on a summer holiday.
The thought of a spot of sunshine on a bleak February evening is sure to make you forget all about this Valentine's nonsense.
It could be topping up the tan, or a spot of skiiing. Maybe some City break sightseeing or a Caribbean cruise.
Booking a well-earned break will make Valentine's Day 2014 one to remember.

Go to the gym

Pumping iron: A trip to the gym could help you forget those Valentine's blues

While everyone else is stuffing their faces with tonnes of carbs and mountains of sugar, why not head to the gym and get working on that slender summer body.
Instead of piling on the pounds get busy shedding a few, and get that all-important head start on all your loved-up friends.

Remember the money you are saving

People may say romance is priceless, but it really isn't.
Sit back, relax, and remember just how much money you are saving by being single.
No thoughtful (and expensive) gifts. No (extortionate) greetings card. No (pricey) romantic meal.
Single people are quids in.

Embrace singleness

No arguments over the TV remote. No compromises over living space. No disagreements over clothes strewn all over the bedroom floor.
Single life can actually be very good.
Take some time out on Valentine's Day to embrace your singleness and all the little things that make it great.

Same old, same old

Without doubt the best way to get through Valentine's Day is to pretend it's not even happening at all.
Instead of getting hung up on what to do or where to go, why not just do what you always do.
By doing the same old, same old, you could find that the most romantic day of the year will be gone in a flash.
Enjoy!
