Singles deserve to have a memorable day despite the absence of a mate. Take advantage of these ideas to have fun on Valentine's Day as a single person.

Instructions

1. Pamper yourself. Find a nice salon to get a full body massage, pedicure and manicure. Visit the Godiva store and treat yourself to chocolate strawberries and other sweet treats. For those who are into staying in, rent a movie and order a tasty cuisine to make your own Valentine's Day night comfortable and personal to you. Spending quality time with yourself is a superb way to find out just what you want in life.

2. Go shopping and treat yourself to a small gift. Shopping can be a very fun, therapeutic way to spend the day. If there is a trinket or gadget that you have been eyeing for months but neglected to buy, this is the perfect opportunity to splurge on yourself for Valentine's Day.

3. Hang out with other single friends. This can be a great way to be thankful for having friendships and people who appreciate you. Plan a lavish dinner and dress up in nice attire. Be each others' support.

4. Throw a Valentine's Day event for singles. Surround your party with an entertaining and creative theme like a '70s, Double 007 or Casino night. Use social networking to send out invites and word of mouth. There are many singles who would love to use this party to meet others and enjoy the companionship.

5. Take a weekend getaway. Spend your Valentine's Day as a single person by flying to a fun city like Atlanta, New York or Miami.
