    Send yourself flowers!

    Timing is everything here. Ideally you'll be at work or in a crowded cafe. When your flowers arrives, act like you're really surprised and overwhelmed. Spring tears of joy even.

    Eat

    Eat whatever you can and whatever you want. After-all you have absolutely no one to judge you for making that Macca's combo a large one.

    Pamper yourself 

    Valentine's Day is all about love, so take this chance to love yourself. Sleep in! Nuzzle deep into your pillows and enjoy having the bed all to yourself. Who needs sex when you're busy enough painting your nails whilst watching Netflix.

    Dress up

    Shave, shower, fix your hair and get into your best date clothes. Not that you actually have a date to go to and show your hotness off at. You just wasted two hours of your evening getting ready for no reason, but at least you look smoking!

    Visit your loved ones

    This is the perfect opportunity to shout your parents a nice breakfast. Take them to their favourite cafe. Whoops, there's a 40-minute wait, thanks to all the couples. Try to zone out as your parents ask you why you're still single.

    Head out to a romantic restaurant

    Why should you miss out on a nice dinner, just because you're single? Book a reservation for two at a fancy restaurant. Five minutes after arriving claim that you've been stood up and start crying. Hopefully the waiter will take pity, and offer you free spring rolls.

    Watch a romantic movie!

    Turn on The Notebook. Smile with anticipation as the opening credits roll. Get immersed. Get snugly. Get irritated. Get upset. Watch The Exorcist instead.

    Throw a Singles' Party

    Get your entire squad together to have some FUN! Set up a Facebook Event page, and invite all your friends over for wine, chocolate and silly movies! Wait.... All your friends are in relationships now, and they're busy with their loves in that four-bedroom house with a shiny white picket fence they bought together last month. Okay. Cool.

    Tinder

    Please, only resort to this if it's your final option. Because nothing says desperation like Tinder does on V day.
