But then February arrives, the dreaded Valentine’s Day approaches and the media-hype-machine slash advertising blitz that surrounds this ridiculous annual event kicks into high gear. And I start to feel at least some slight societal pressure to get on someone’s love radar and quick.
If you can relate, I’ve got good news for you. With much practice under my belt, here are 4 of the best tried and true tips for loveless losers on Valentine’s Day.
4. Eat Your Feelings!

I know for a fact that shovelling your cake hole full of edible delights is a fantastic way to stuff any and all feelings of loneliness and loserhood way down deep – where they won’t bother you again until this time next year. Also, there is a significant body of evidence that suggests that eating chocolate makes you feel just like being in love – due to the non-sexy sounding triple threat of phenylethylamine, serotonin, and tryptophan. So chow down on the good and dark stuff and you’ll be feeling fine in no time.
If you book a food tour or a chocolate tour for V-day – you may even meet up with other sad sacks just like me. Misery does love company, and with all the good eats we won’t be miserable for long.
3. Self-Medicate

You could also take this whole idea on the road by joining in on a wine, beer or spirits tour with other like-minded and empty hearted souls.
2. Get Your Heart Racing!

Try paragliding, mountain biking, climbing, or skydiving. You could even go shark cage diving in great white territory. Adventure guides worldwide can introduce you safely to whatever might float your boat, and getting your blood pumping through that underused organ will do you a world of good!
Unless of course you’ve already taken us up on tip #3 – then maybe you should just go lie down instead.
1. Spend The Day Travel Planning For Next Year!

Tip #1 is how this year on February 14th you will find me unlocking the mysteries of Cambodia with two of my BFF’s and ignoring the western world altogether. Not a Hallmark card in sight. Namaste!
So whatever the day brings - remember, we love you… even if no one else does. Turn up your headphones and drink it in.

Not a loveless loser at the moment, but I’m sharing this article in a really passive aggressive way with a few I know.
LOL! I’m definitely combining 1 and 2, but 4 sounds good too. I’m not really sold on 3.
