Alas, it’s good to be single!
Single on Valentine's Day? Relax, here are five reasons why single can be better.
St Valentines Day is upon us and people are scurrying around, planning romantic getaways, suppers and shopping for the ideal gift.
Well, not everyone is.
There are those who will be going solo this February 14 and to be honest, there are a few joys of being single on Valentines Day.
Here are five reasons why being single on Valentine’s Day is a good thing:
1. The release of Deadpool
While many men in relationships will most likely have to endure some sappy romcom movie with their partner, single guys have much to look forward to.
The latest offer made by Marvel will be released on Valentines Day, which means that if you are a comic book fan and single, you willl not have to splurge your money on corny gifts, but rather on popcorn and seeing Ryan Reynolds bring the ultimate comic book hero to life.
Plus, if you are single, you won’t have to explain how Deadpool fits into the Marvel universe.
2. Not having to pretend you like the cheesy gift
You don’t have to act all happy about some gift you really don’t like. Honestly, unless you’re getting tickets to watch the latest Liverpool match or a holiday to the Bahamas, a cute teddy bear just does not compare.
3. Having fun with your friends
While couples are out trying to bring romance to their lives, you get to go out with your other single friends and act all cliché by rolling your eyes at how cheesy others are being.
4. No last minute shopping for gifts
There is nothing worse than forgetting to get your partner a gift for Valentines Day and attempting to get something special on the day before your significant other realises you forgot all about the “day of love.”
Single people don’t have this problem. In fact, being single means you can spoil yourself by buying and eating an entire box of chocolates on your own.
5. Not having to pretend you really care about Valentines Day
Valentines Day might have its perks, like discounted prices on chocolates, but what is so special about the day?
Some people might build themselves up into a frenzy in hopes of the ideal romantic day, leaving their partners having to pretend how much they really care about some commercialised day.
Being single means you don’t have to worry about this at all, leaving couples thinking your attitude towards the day is simply because you are single, which it isn’t.
Being single on Valentine’s Day means you don’t have to follow the masses.
