From Gistvic.com

There isn't anything bad in been single. Follow this ways to enjoy the day. Gistvic Reports.

1. Spoil yourself: Make Valentine’s Day a day to spoil yourself. Buy yourself chocolate, order pizza, eat ice cream, and rent your favorite movie. Just relax and be happy.

2. Celebrate Yourself: Go to the clubs, a concert, do something spontaneous with your single friends. Have a Singles Party where everyone can cheer and enjoy their singlehood.

3. Buy yourself a gift.

That purse you’ve been wanting, or those shoes you’ve had your eyes on, go and buy it. The book you saved in your Amazon account, or that video game that you dream of playing, now is the time to buy it. You will be so busy being excited for your new purchase that you won’t even notice all the insanity about Valentine’s Day. You have something to celebrate for and look forward to as well.

4. Get a new make-over.

Change your hair color, get a new haircut. Do your nails. Go to the spa. Pamper yourself. Make yourself better with yourself. Go to the gym, run an extra mile. Read your favorite books, or start on that home project that you’ve been putting aside. Whatever makes you feel rejuvenated go for it.

5. Re-evaluate your goals:

Remind yourself why you are still single. Don’t fall under the pressure or let someone tell you how to live your life. If you’re not ready for a relationship, that’s your choice. Whether you had a bad break up recently or two years ago or whether dating isn’t really your thing, you shouldn’t have to explain yourself. Nowadays, arguably, being in a relationship is more important than actually wanting to be in one. As soon as one relationship ends, the impetus is oftentimes to start another. It seems that people cannot stand one minute just being single or alone. It is not healthy to live in fear of loneliness, and using relationships to get rid of loneliness will only leave a person even more alone than they were before. There is so much exploration that a person should do before settling down. Why tie yourself down just for the norms of society? Think of your accomplishments and where you still need to go. Being in a relationship is time and commitment, and you should be able to enjoy it when you are ready for it, not when someone tells you. Gistvic Reports.

6. The weather:

For those that live in the northern states or even western states, any state that has snow pouring every minute, most likely people will be staying home. I can see from my window it looks like I am in a snow globe because, this winter has been unreal. There is already 3 ft to 4ft snow on the ground from previous snowfalls from the past weeks. At the moment, we’re bracing for another big one. Any plans anyone had are most likely cancelled.

7. It is a day of love:

Valentine’s Day is not just for couples to share their love; it’s for everyone to share love. You can spend time with your best friend, and show how much you love him or her. You can have Valentine’s Day with your mother or father or even your grandparents. Have Valentine’s Day with your pets. It is a day to express love after all. Love is beautiful and it will make your day and life so much more to show your love for someone.

8. Help those in need:

Another way to show your love is helping those in need. Maybe you can donate your old clothes to a homeless shelter. Volunteer at a hospital. Send valentines cards to a local children’s hospital or decorate cards with the children there. Volunteer at a senior home and create a change in someone’s life just by being a friend a companion. Adopt a cat or a dog. It just might change your life and you will find more meaning and value of yourself. Life is more worthwhile when you are able to make a difference in someone else’s life just by simply being in their life.

9. Try something new:

Do something that you have never done before. Of course, hopefully this is legal and not dangerous. But try something new. Maybe go for Indian food for a change, or that Korean takeout place you’ve been meaning to try. You could take a cooking class. Try ice skating especially in this weather is a perfect time to learn. You can learn to sew or try a new sport. Try a new color of lipstick for a change. Do something that is out of your comfort zone. Maybe try to eat a healthy meal. If you have not exercised in awhile maybe today you can change that. If you’ve always wanted to channel your inner artiste, now could be the time to set up that easel. The options are endless.

This are some additional tips to follow:

10. Buy yourself chocolate.
Why should an awesome single person like yourself go the day without chocolate? All the couples are eating it, so why can't you? Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to buy it! Chocolate is always there for you; you can't say the same thing about a significant other. So go ahead, treat yourself to that Godiva. You don't need anyone to buy it for you.

11. Invite your single friends over.
Since you don't have a significant other to spend the day with, invite all your single friends over! They're all feeling the same way as you are, so why not celebrate the day together? Don't waste the day moping around because you're single when you can have an amazing day with your friends. Settle in with some wine and watch a chick flick or crack open a beer and play video games, as long as you're having fun with your friends, you don't need to worry about a relationship.

12. Spend the day doing what you love the most.
Valentine's Day is about love, right? You don't need someone to love, so spend the day doing what you love to do. Cook, draw, write, exercise, call your parents, anything! You don't need a boyfriend or girlfriend to experience love.

13. Go out.
If there's one happening near you, go out to a singles mixer. Odds are a popular club or bar is having a singles night, so why not go and have fun? You can still get dressed up and go out, plus you'll be having a good time while meeting new people!

14. Don't forget to love yourself.
Valentine's Day can make a lot of single people unhappy. I get it, it's nice to have somebody there to love you. But the most important thing to know is to love yourself. A boyfriend or girlfriend won't always be there, but you have yourself for the rest of your life! Don't forget to treat yourself right.

Always remind yourself that you're an amazing person, and in the words of Snow White, some day your prince/ss will come. Gistvic Reports.

Thats the worst way to spend valentine as a single every content reeks selfishness. Take yourself out... buy yourself blablabla
This would have worked better
1. Visit Motherless babies home
2. Buy a gift for your parents or siblings
3. Attend your churchs programme for singles
4. In case theres none in your church, Organize a hangout for singles to mingle
5. Read a book,Watch a movie or anything that can make you learn something new that will help your future relationship. A blog like Love and Relate or Okpeke Beauty will make sense
etc

History of Valentine’s Day
CONTENTSThe Legend of St. ValentineOrigins of Valentine’s Day: A Pagan Festival in FebruaryValentine’s Day: A Day of RomanceTypical Valentine’s Day GreetingsPHOTO GALLERIES
Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint, and where did these traditions come from? Find out about the history of this centuries-old holiday, from ancient Roman rituals to the customs of Victorian England.
The Legend of St. Valentine
The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?
READ MORE: Who Was the Real St. Valentine?
The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor’s daughter–who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most importantly–romantic figure. By the Middle Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France.
Origins of Valentine’s Day: A Pagan Festival in February
While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial–which probably occurred around A.D. 270–others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
READ MORE: 6 Surprising Facts About St. Valentine's Day
To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. They would then strip the goat’s hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city’s bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage.
