Nine GIFs on how to handle Valentine’s Day as a singleton like a boss
Stay back couples, this one is for us singletons ...
If you’re eating dinner for two on your own, or simply can’t stand the sight of the endless amounts of public display of affection on Valentine’s Day, then these nine GIFs are just for you.
A lot of people (mostly in relationships) look forward to Valentine’s Day because they have this strange, naïve optimism about a day that has really become more of a money-making scheme in the larger corporate world than a day to express your love for your loved ones. We as singletons, however, do question the fact that someone is willing to express their love for their significant other on only one day of the year, which makes us even more pessimistic about the day.
However, if you’re usually optimistic about the day, and this will be your first V-Day as a resident of the United States of Singletons, you might want to take a look at how to play it cool like a boss on a day built around the ideal of love.
1. Wake up and check your phone, only to be fed up at the sight of V-Day posts on social media within the first two seconds
2. Then for a second you fall into the V-Day trap and feel alone
3. But then you realise you don’t need anyone because you’re awesome
4. So you decide to go out but then you start seeing happy couples and instantly regret it
5. Then run into a couple you know, but you still can’t stand it
6. They then have the audacity to say you’re just lonely, which you’re not
7. So you decide to head back home because you don’t need anyone’s company
8. And proceed to spend time with the things that really matter
9. And finally when the clock strikes 12, couples go back to bickering until the next Valentine’s Day
