Ok, so you're single, who cares? Being single on Valentine's Day should be a choice, and if you aren't alone by choice then do something about it! Let's face it, no one has ever found love sad eyes and distraught. And, you don't have to call it Single's Appreciation Day, either! More than anything, it's about your attitude. If you look and feel good, you'll enjoy yourself without the lament of not having a box of chocolates from your lover.
The main things to remember is to smile, laugh, and don't forget to enlist a group of single friend's to accompany you. Going out alone looks desperate, and desperation should be avoided at all cost. Fix yourself up and take on single life with pride!
How to prepare
Looking cute is a must, but it should be done effortlessly. Remember, you want to capture an audience without looking obvious. Throw your hair up in a messy bun, put on a beautiful print dress, and paint your nails and toes a bright color and you're all ready to go. You don't even need heavy make-up. Less it best in this case. Use neutral colors that will make your eyes and face pop, but not so much that it looks as a 3-year-old applied it. Accessorize your look with cute jewelry and shoes.
Escape to Hawaii
No, we don't expect you to hop on the next flight to Hawaii. Unless of course you want to, and if you do, don't forget to send us Lei. Have the mentality of a Hawaii local when you go out; cool and relaxed. Walk slowly with ease to get attention from others. And if you've ever been to Hawaii, you know that it's custom to kiss a person on both sides of their check. Hey, you can always use it to your advantage and say that you're from Hawaii. Hey, no one but you and your friends will know the truth.
Picking the Right Place
Whether you're in California or Hawaii, location is important. The key is to decide where you want to spend your evening by evaluating how much money you want to spend, the outfit you'll be wearing, and if you want to be around a small or large crowd. Also, if you are going with a group of friends call ahead of time to make arrangements. Often, venues can offer a group rate discount for booking in advance with more than six people in a party.
Make a scene
No, we don't mean for you to act obnoxious and younger than your age. If your main goal is to be noticed, then you have to draw attention to yourself, and the best way is with a camera, of course. Recruit a friend to be the photographer for the night, and snap photos of you and your group every 10 minutes. Remember, to pose cutely for the camera. Also, don't forget to have a set of professional looking business cards because nothing says important quite like a business card to pass out. Soon, people will begin to wonder who you are, and you may never have to spend another Valentine's Day alone.
