27 Romantic Things to Do While Single on Valentine’s Day

Go to a movie. Or three! Popcorn recommended.

Do your favorite self-love exercise. Yoga, pilates, swimming, or just stretching with music.

Buy yourself a massive bouquet of flowers. Send a bouquet to your best friend or your mom. Why don’t we do it more?

Have a long catch-up with an old friend. Remember the beauty of connections that aren’t romantic.

Get out of town. Weekend in a tiny Spanish town? All-female adventure trip? Yes, please.

Create a vision board. Travel pics, glitter pens, and quotes that make you smile. To the future!

Host a movie marathon. Solo or with friends, pick your favourite movie series and have the snacks and heated blankets at the ready. Smiling women having slumber party at home

Try a new recipe you’ve had bookmarked forever. Buy quality ingredients and enjoy each exquisite mouthful.

Host a singles-only dinner party. Everyone brings a dish, gossip, and a cocktail.

Have a dance party with your best friends. A Galentine’s night out (or in) will remind you of the love all around you.

Have a romantic meal with your closest friend, sibling or parent. Stay in or dress up and get the Valentine’s Day set menu.

Stay in and pamper yourself. Bath, shower. Essential oils, manicures, face masks, incense, and candles… Woman laughing at home in bed with camera

Dress up, put on the outfit and make-up that helps you feel your best, and take steaming hot selfies.

Before this? Clean your room and put silky, new sheets on your bed. Lush.

Book yourself a massage. Get your nails done by a professional.

Binge-watch your favorite show all day. Sex and the City, anyone?

Read romantic poetry. Watch romantic movies. Listen to romantic songs. Feel all the feelings!

Turn down the lights and watch an erotic movie. It can be explicitly “adult” or 50 Shades. We won’t tell.

Buy yourself a new vibrator or sex toy…

… and have a luxurious masturbation session. Happy woman journalling at home

Practice sensual touch. Explore your body’s erogenous zones using unexpected toys, textures, and luscious oils.

Write down 25 things you like about yourself. Keep adding and rereading.

Go to a life-drawing class, or get inspired, strip down, and model for yourself.

Write down your sexual desires and fantasies. Liberate and empower yourself (and turn yourself on).

Volunteer at a local charity. You’ll meet new people and do something good for the world. Blast your most feel-good album (or Pantydeal’s Love Yourself Playlist) and dance like no one’s watching.

Take a day off social media. Good advice, generally. Even better advice if #couplegoal photos aren’t what you want to see this Valentine’s Day.

Alone on Valentine’s Day? Great! This is a day full of possibilities.

Whether you volunteer your time, focus on manifesting your future, or enjoy an evening of solo sensuality, make this holiday romantic and all about you.
