It’s February, and that means you’re greeted with red hearts, pink flowers, and sweet nothings like “be mine” written in elegant script everywhere you look. If you’re thinking, Valentine’s Day is only for couples in a happy and healthy relationship, think again. Just because you don’t have a significant other to cuddle up next to doesn’t mean you can’t commemorate a holiday that honors love. Not sure what to do? Here are 15 awesome things to do when you’re single on Valentine’s Day.
