I totally get it, you do not want to "hassle" of the "day of love." Absolutely ok, so how can we ensure that you stay single? Besides self-preservation, and "staying committed to the single," I have a few suggestions for you.

How To Stay Single for Valentine's Day:

1. Log off all the dating sites.

Why are you on a dating site if you don't actually want to date?! Ok, not my business but if you want to make sure you aren't hurting any feelings, avoid swiping in the days leading to Valentine's Day. You do not want to mix signals!

2. Make sure he/she that you ARE talking to, knows you intend on staying single.

Sure it may be awkward to bring to light but it's sure a heck of a lot better than leading someone on. And if they seem like the type that thinks, "I can change their mind," just leave and go on with your happy single self.

3. Stop Showering

You can really make sure to deter people, heck even the ones that DIDN'T want to date you. Good job my friend, good job! Also, skip the deodorant while you're at it too, really adds to the musk. You're Welcome.

4. Stop Wearing socks with your shoes.

Let's say you don't want to skip the shower, just this simple task alone will get your feet smelling like poo and the people around you to disperse. Again, your welcome.

5. Run Away to the Hills of Wenatchee and come back Feburary 15th.

You've already made up your mind and you just want to get out, then go! Enjoy yourself! No one makes the rules for your life, you do, and you get to do what you please! Stay single, take yourself to dinner, take yourself on that one-of-a-kind date that you have always wanted. You go on with your bad self!

How can we take time for us and really just do what's best for our soul?

Self-Care for Anytime and Anyone.

Take a deep breath and know you are ok, you are here and you have some really cool ideas ahead to try, and remember for the next "self-care" day.
