Sure, being in a relationship is great. It can be the most beautiful thing to be with someone you're into and who's totally into you, too. Plus, on special occasions like, say, Valentine's Day, it pays to have a dashing boyfriend who'll hand you flowers and whisk you away on a lovely dinner date.
But don't let the mush of the occasion get the best of you. Just because it's a day for lovers and you're flying solo, doesn't mean you can't have any fun and be fabulous. You just have to remind yourself of the reasons you'd rather stay single. We list just 10 of them below!
1 You can do whatever you want during your free time.
