It can be a time where you may even envy those ‘loved’ up couples! It can make even the most hardened singles feel like they are missing out. But don’t let V-Day get you down, look at the bright side at least you don’t have all that pressure to get the day right.

You can do whatever you like, you don’t have to stress about the perfect gift or being romantic and you are not with a partner who hates V-Day.

Will a little bit of preplanning you can have an awesome day.
Here are 7 tips to enjoy your day:
