Pros and Cons of Being Single on Valentine’s Day

By: Peyton Reynolds

    First, if you are single and failing to mingle, Valentine’s Day is not for you. Obviously, Cupid forgot to hit you with the love arrow, but I’m sure he hit your friend. You might not think there are advantages of being single on Valentine’s Day, but there are a few.

1. Save all the money for yourself.

Couples spend a ridiculous about of money on Valentine’s Day for each other. Look on the bright side, you don’t have to spend the money on anyone else but yourself.

     2.   Your parents are likely to give you something.

Your parents know that you are single, therefore, they will feel bad for you. That means they will send or give you something that is sure to cheer you up, right?

    3.    You can celebrate it however you would like.

           You can go out by yourself or mingle with the rest of the failing-to- mingle people. You could also get some food or you could just curl up and watch a sappy love movie. IF your friends are single, you guys can go out together and have a great time.

On the other hand, there are more disadvantages than advantages. Honestly, sometimes being single on Valentine’s Day is not a bad thing at all.

1. You have to listen to all the sappy love music and ads.

All the ads and music are playing on the radio or on your TV days and even weeks before V Day.

2. You get asked, “What are you and your significant other doing on Valentine’s Day?”

3. If your friend is taken, you might have to be lonely on Valentine’s Day.

If you have a dog or cat you might not be lonely. Chances are your friend has a date, and you will be at home alone. Just remember It will also remind you of how single you are.

4. You get to see all the sappy couples, smiling and being happy.
