Why Valentine's Day is More Fun For Single Girls

Normally, I am reminded of Valentine's day the entire week leading up to it. However, this year was different. I texted my ex-boyfriend last night, "Hi! Just wanted to say hi and that I am thinking about you!" I got a reply this morning, "Awe you too. Happy Valentine's Day." I was immediately so embarrassed. I had not even remembered it was Valentine's day because I was planning on spending this Friday like I do every weekend: curled up in my bed with my best girlfriends, stuffing our faces with chocolate, drinking a bottle of white and watching movies. Hearing that and thinking that I do that every weekend, you are probably thinking to yourself, "She's probably fat." Well, news flash readers. Sue me for wanting to have some down time with my girlfriends to forget the fact that I am single. In fact, single girls have it better on Valentine's day, and here's why:

1. We have more support. When girls are in relationships, the only people that think about them on this special day are their boyfriends. We single girls have all of our girlfriends, and even guy friends who are single, sending us good thoughts.

2. We still get chocolate and wine. And if we are lucky, we won't have to buy it; our parents, sisters and loved ones will send us goodies knowing that we will need to be medicated to get us through this day.

3. We still get presents, we just buy them ourselves. And quite frankly, this way is better because there is nothing worse than being given a gift by your boyfriend and absolutely hating it and immediately thinking about what you could exchange it for.

4. We get to pick how we want to celebrate. We don't have to worry about compromising on what movie to watch or what restaurant we get to go to. It's all on our terms, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

5. We get to flirt. With the delivery men, with the liquor store clerks, with anyone and everyone.

Happy Valentine's day, beauties. We're better off single.

Kisses,
