On the day of love, sometimes it can feel like everyone but you has someone to share it with, which doesn’t bode well for a happy February 14th. However, even if you can’t manage to get your hands on a date for the big day, there are countless ways to lift your mood!
D.I.Y. your date
At Fabulous Fotoforms in Richfield, you can print a life size cardboard cutout of any, and I mean ANY, photo you want starting at $25.95. You just have to have access to the photo! Your date might be a little lifeless, but if you look on the bright side, people won’t be paying attention to the fact that you’re single, they’ll be paying attention to the fact that you’re eating dinner with a cardboard cut out! Problem solved.
Mirror alternative
If you don’t have the measly $25 for a cardboard cut out, something that you probably already have at your disposal is a mirror. Set it up across from you at the dinner table and go on a date with yourself! Conversations will be a breeze, because your date has all the same interests and opinions as you, and it’s a big self-love boost. Additionally, if you’re looking for a Valentine’s gift for a friend, a mirror would be perfect for the narcissist in your life!
Get as many cards as you want
If it’s your case that year after year, you open your mailbox and there isn’t a single Valentines card in there to put a smile on your face, I have just the solution for you. Make a pile of cards for yourself telling you how amazing and loved you are. Manifestation is key! You can even sign the cards with the names of people you wanted to get Valentines from and pretend that it’s the real thing.
Throw a beverage at the first happy couple you see
In your solitude, you’re probably not keen on seeing happy people in love on Valentine’s Day. To make yourself feel a little better, put a damper on a successful date by throwing a drink at them. For this to work, you would need to have a beverage ready and waiting, but that’s a small price for the catastrophic effects it would have.
Spread rumors
If you’re feeling confident that you might be able to get a date but can’t find the right person, break up some already existing couples. Try spreading some rumors that will make people mad, and watch as the romances come to a screeching halt. No guarantees that this will be effective in getting you a date, but it opens the options up at least a little bit.
