Going solo on Valentine’s Day? You’re not alone, my friend! There will inevitable be a lot of unattached people prowling the streets on February 14. Still even after all these years, we don’t blame you for feeling left behind. But come on, don’t be hatin’. It’s not your fault there’s no one to talk to on Valentine’s Night except for your dog…Or is it?

You’re not weird, and you’re not a junkie either, but it seems people are just not taking that kind of interest in you! What’s wrong with you then? That’s what you probably ask yourself whenever the reality of being a singleton (hehe, get it) dawns upon you and no other day reminds you of that sucky reality than Valentine’s Day.

Let’s review possible reasons why you’re…well.. why you’re alone.

Some single people love to be alone. Are you single because of your own doing? Some singletons are happy being single. They have their reasons. But this post is not for them. Let’s talk about you — who’s single but can’t figure out why.

Do you hate it when people get needy and they start demanding things from you like your time, attention, or maybe even money? Do you hate it when someone texts you and asks you where you are and what time you’re going to be home as if you’re under a curfew? If your answers to there questions resemble a YES, then you are without a doubt, afraid of commitment.

The thing is, it’s OK to want freedom from all the obligations and responsibilities being in a relationship entails. If you’re loveless, you don’t have to worry about giving any gifts on Valentine, Christmas, Anniversaries, and each other’s birthdays. But then there are the cold nights..

Are you still thinking about what’s-her-name? Oh, come on, get over it! If she doesn’t love you anymore, that doesn’t mean you’re not lovable. There’s a girl out there who’d feel so lucky to have you. And she’ll be wise enough to never let go of someone like you.

Do you spend half your day daydreaming about that girl you’ve been wanting to ask out for months now? That would be hopeless. A hopeless romantic might sound, erm, romantic, but actually it’s more of hopeless. So why not actually ask that girl out and if she says no, move on to the next girl.

Don’t be miserable about your love life (or the lack of it). Good things come to those who wait. You’re quite a catch. It takes time to find something as great as love. So for the meantime, why don’t you concentrate on improving yourself so you’ll be extra foxy when you meet finally her!
