Valentine's Day is coming, just like Winter was coming. Ned Stark was right and so is Cupid. If you're single, the day may bum you out a little. However, you shouldn't get all “sad faced” over the singular prospects of V-Day.
8 Fabulous Reasons Singles Should Embrace Valentine’s Day
– Some people love the feeling of being independent and not dependent on anyone else for their happiness.
– There's something liberating about not worrying about Valentine's expectations and simply focusing on yourself instead.

– Being single guarantees that you don’t have to worry about what the other person’s expectations for the day are.
– You can enjoy that Valentines Day candy in yoga pants, a way more comfortable option than doing so in a little black dress.
