With the coming thursday,everybody would have planned to spend time with their valentine. Some people,who don't have a partner will be depressed about the coming day. Guys & gals(if any) don't fret. I browsed the web & have compiled a Valentine guide for all of you.
Here are some tips for people like me who don't have a partner on the Valentine day.

Tips for singles:
1)Accept your feelings - If you feel depressed because you're single on Valentine’s Day (or in the weeks before), accept your feelings. It’s natural to feel sad when the world seems to be coupled up. Accept your feelings, but don’t let them overwhelm you.
2)Get to the roots of Valentine’s Day - Valentine’s Day isn’t just for married couples or lovers. It’s a festival to celebrate love for the people you’re close to: friends, children, parents, siblings, mentors, even colleagues and neighbors. Don’t let it be just about a romantic occasion. It’s about appreciating those closest to you, whether you’re married or single on Valentine’s Day.
3)Plan an adventure - Give yourself something to look forward to, whether it’s an exotic vacation in Belize, a singles cruise, or a weekend retreat in your province or state. Instead of focusing on being single on Valentine’s Day, be kind and generous to yourself by planning something exciting.
4)Realize the truth behind the hype - Thousands of couples are unhappily spending Valentine’s Day together. Many husbands are stressed at the thought of buying romantic gifts, and many more wives are worried that they won’t feel the love this Valentine’s Day. Gourmet chocolate bonbons, candlelit dinners and lingerie seem romantic and thoughtful, but on Valentine’s Day, relationships aren’t always what they seem – or what couples wish they were. Being single on Valentine's Day is better than being unhappily attached.
5)Challenge yourself - Join a group and do something different this spring. Meet Market Adventures, for instance, organizes events for singles that are exciting and educational. They offer everything from lessons in investing your money to scuba diving. Meet Market Adventures is also hosting an “Anti-Valentine’s Day Party” in Toronto. To avoid being sad because you're single on Valentine's Day, challenge yourself to try new things.
6)Clarify your relationship goals - Do you want to be in a relationship? If so, make it a priority to meet someone this year. Take classes, accept invitations, go on blind dates, and spread the word to your family and friends that you’re open to an intimate relationship. If you want this to be the last time you're single on Valentine's Day, then set your goals and forge ahead!
7)Be kind to yourself - Treat yourself to a spa day, bubble bath, gourmet meal, or nice bottle of wine. Pamper yourself in new, fresh ways – because being single on Valentine’s Day is about showing love and kindness to someone you love and appreciate: yourself.
8 )Hang out with Single Friends - Plan a date with all your single friends. Make sure the get together is not about seeking out new partners. Live it up being single and enjoy time with your friends. Invite everyone to come to your house to play pictionary, sip wine, and listen to music. You can also all get together for movies, or just general chit chat in a pub over a few cold ones. Try to stay focused on being happy with your friends.

Advantages to Being Single :
There can be many advantages to being single if you just stop and think about it. When focusing on the negative aspects of being single, it’s easy to say that there are no advantages. So let’s look at some of the positive aspects of being single.
• More freedom and independence
Being single means you have more freedom. You answer to no one. If you’re single, you don’t have to let anyone know when you decide to go somewhere. It allows for more spontaneity in your life. If you want to take a weekend road trip, you can make that decision on the spur of the moment. Being single allows you to be your own person and really just do as you please. If you want to sit on the couch in an old T-shirt and shorts while munching on Doritos, no one will give you any flack for doing so. Being single allows you to make your own choices. (Guys, you wouldn’t have to worry about missing Monday Night Football to watch the Lifetime Movie of the Week.) Especially for men, being single forces you to do things for yourself, like cooking and cleaning. Being skilled at different things makes you a more complete, independent, well-rounded person, which is a great quality to have, and one that will be noticed if you decide to seek a relationship later on.
• More control over your time
We live in a busy society. You probably hear people complaining that they never have enough time, all while scribbling their plans for the next three months into their Palm Pilot. These people probably aren’t single. When you’re single, you may have more time for yourself and things that you like to do. You can set your own schedule. Being single may give you more time for hobbies, relaxation, being with friends and family, and so on. Being single gives you more time to better yourself. You can use the extra time to work on your career, volunteer in your community, or maybe take classes, either for job advancement or just for personal enrichment. (We'll go over this in the next section.) Relationships and marriage especially require lots and lots of time, as anyone who is married or in a relationship will tell you. So, doesn’t it stand to reason to take advantage of any extra time while you have it?
• More control over your money
In addition to time, relationships also require money, and a lot of it. Being single gives you full financial freedom. You will be in control of where every dollar you spend goes. Guys, think of the money you’ll save by not having to pay for overpriced dinners and movies, and buying presents all the time. Being single allows you to spend money that you have on yourself with no guilt. Men, that means you can get that 36-inch high definition flat screen TV that you saw at Best Buy without getting an earful later. Ladies, you can treat yourself to that piece of jewelry or new outfit without having to use the Jaws of Life to get the Visa card out of a husband’s wallet. (Note that being single isn't an excuse to be irresponsible with your money. Single or not, you still need to make responsible financial decisions.) Being single may also make it easier to plan for saving money for the future and for unforeseen circumstances.
• Not having to tolerate another’s annoying habits
Let’s face it – all of us have quirks about ourselves that someone else finds annoying. Being single frees you from this issue, at least while you’re at home. A single person doesn’t have to listen to someone snore all night while hogging the blankets. Guys, you wouldn’t have to worry about finding a fuzzy toilet seat cover or pink shower curtain in your bathroom. Ladies, you wouldn’t have to constantly nag someone to take care of the dishes piling up in the sink or take out the trash. Being single allows you to give your patience a rest and live in a non-frustrating environment. The only disgusting habits you’ll have to put up with are your own.
• No emotional roller coaster rides
Being single allows you to stabilize your emotions. When a person is in a relationship, especially when it is just starting, your emotions can go completely out of whack. Your mind can go a mile a minute constantly thinking things like, “Does s/he still like me?”, “Did I say the right thing?”, “What should I do now?”, “When should I call next?” The list goes on and on. It’s enough to make a person go bonkers with all these thoughts running rampant. In addition, being single means that you won’t have to worry about going through a heart-wrenching breakup. Once you’ve become a successful single, you will appreciate being able to be emotionally relaxed.
• Ability to become aware of who you are
Being single can give you a deeper awareness of who you really are - not someone as defined by a relationship. During the initial stages of a relationship, you try to make yourself look as good as possible to impress the other person, and often find yourself saying or doing things you normally wouldn’t do. Being single allows you to be yourself. Being single and having more time alone allows you to increase your self-awareness, define yourself as an individual, and become more in touch with your emotions and thinking.
These are just some of the advantages to being single. As you progress into becoming a successful single, you will find more and more advantages. Once you move past the “grass is greener on the other side” way of thinking, you will then be ready to make the most of being single.
Valentines Day - A Guide for Men
Did you know that after Christmas, Valentine's Day is the biggest retail holiday? That means a variety of things for you the consumer, but mostly it means the market is saturated with a plethora of heart-shaped, cutesy, not so worth it products. I have a philosophy…one that is not always popular…but here it goes. If you love someone, then saying "I love you" is a full time job, not one accomplished by dime store shrink-wrapped chocolates and plush toys holding bags of candy hearts.
Don't get me wrong. These things were great when we were 10, but we are adults now so here are a few ways to ensure you have a classy holiday that shows you put a lot of thought into it.
The key to success if knowing your significant other's tastes and not stepping on a land mine in the process of telling her how much you care. Yes, this article is geared mostly towards the men out there who are trying to get it right this year. However, women, you can take heed of this advice as well because I don't know a man alive who wants a teddy bear holding a cheap satin heart.
1. Ask yourself "Do I know her tastes well enough to buy a personalized gift?" We are going to help you sort this out, but you are going to have to too.
2. What is your budget? Financial troubles as a result of overspending on Valentine's Day are not going to help your romantic life.
3. Always be classy. You don't have to spend a fortune to achieve style.
We have broken the choices down by the major items generally purchased for Valentine's Day. This by no means is an all-inclusive list, but will put you on the road to victory.
Chocolate:
Does she like it? If not, then obviously skip this traditional gift. Does she have a favorite brand? Or favorite ingredient? Whatever your answers to those questions, do not buy shrink wrapped, generic chocolate. We are not a big fan of the heart shaped, fake lace and Elvis velvet. You know what I am talking about. Now avoid it! A simple, elegant box with a nice ribbon is much classier.
Flowers:
Does she like flowers? (Remember some people are allergic to certain flowers)
Does she have a favorite? There is not a rule that says you must be red roses. I happen to love yellow roses and it would be a sign to me that my mate understood me if he bought me yellow roses instead of traditional red.
Jewelry:
Now talk about a land mine. If you are determined to buy jewelry, consult her friends and family to find out what she likes and wants if you are not absolutely positive. Good jewelry is an expensive proposition to screw up. Avoid heart shaped anything…please, I am begging you. The act of giving her the jewelry is saying "I love you," there is no need to tattoo it on her forehead so to speak by giving her a heart shaped necklace she feels obliged to wear all of the time.
Dinner or Brunch:
1. Go where you will both be comfortable
2. Make reservations to avoid waiting
3. If you want to try something new, go somewhere that you both have wanted to try.
4. If you are nervous about a new place and you want the perfect evening, check out the place ahead of time.
5. Be yourself. For example, if you are not a wine expert then ask for help from the staff. We women like a guy who will ask.
Or be daring…don't go out to eat. If you are not a very good cook, order take away from a local establishment (not fast food or pizza) or hire a personal chef, and put your time into setting a beautiful table. She will be very impressed that you made the effort.
Other Gifts:
There is no rule that your Valentine's Day gift has to be heart shaped, red/pink or traditional. I don't recommend buying her a blender or cordless drill, but if there is something that she has really been checking out and you can afford it, then show her that you have been paying attention and go for it.
Travel:
Many places offer weekend specials for Valentine's Day, but often are booked well in advance. As an alternative, plan a weekend away at a different time and give this to her as a gift over your Valentine's Day dinner.
Proposals:
OK, we saved this one for last because it is a big one. For some reason, the multitudes feel that proposing on Valentine's Day is the thing to do. In case you couldn't tell from this article, I am encouraging you to think out of the box. Valentine's Day proposals have come to be expected. Why not be different, propose at a random time and really surprise her. However, if you feel that you must succumb to the pressure, do it right. Follow all of our tips above and crank them up a notch. Again, be creative but classy. You want her to remember this special time.
So here you are at the end of the article and about ready to chuck in the towel. Don't! We know you can do it. Take a deep breath, do not wait until the last minute and if it all seems a bit too overwhelming, call in help. Use your resources and make this a truly special day that is only the beginning of a truly special year of romance.
Here are some romantic valentines ideas that will help you find answer to questions like what to do on Valentine's Day
