Valentine's Day has traditionally been viewed as a bitter, trying event for single people. How I understand it though, is that those without a lover seem to band together, creating one of the best party nights of the year. No longer is it a night for sitting at home crying into a carton of ice cream - for single people it's an excuse for a girls' dinner, several bottles of wine or a great night out with all your single friends.
It can also be a great reason to hang out with that guy you've been eyeing - using the excuse that you don't want to be alone on such a horrifically romantic day. My last relationship started for this very reason - the supposed embarrassment or fear of being lonely on Feb 14th was the best way to make the move from acquaintance to date. I say the decades of being the sad single woman alone on V-day are over - this could quite possibly be the best night of the year, and when I was out last night part of me wanted to join in.
