22 Lovely Ways to Spend Valentine's Day If You're Single

Who needs dates when you've got your friend group? Get dressed up and enjoy an amazing meal together.

Rally your crew for happy hour at a spot that's been on your list. Good cocktails and conversations are all you really need.

Visit your local animal shelter and show some love to a furry friend. Spend the day with him or her or extend your time together until they find a permanent home.

You'll walk out of that salon looking and feeling great.

Just because they're not your romantic partner, doesn't mean they're any less important. Take this opportunity to catch up and do things you both love.

Brave the stage with your friends or coworkers and belt out your favorite anthems.

Turn your living room into a cozy viewing area for you and your friends — pajamas and popcorn are obviously required.

Try something completely different whether it's a cooking class or dance class. If you have to spend the evening alone, you might as well take away a new skill!

Put on that lingerie set or outfit that makes you feel most confident, and admire yourself. However you define "sexy" is up to you.

If you're in a long-distance friendship, use Valentine's Day as an opportunity to finally go see them. Reuniting with him or her will feel amazing.

Sometimes, a little trip to the mall is all you need.

Find a senior living center near you and spend time with someone who'd appreciate the company.

Visit your favorite bookstore and spend the rest of your day reading your newest additions at home.

Gather your friends to see an artist you all love — or if you're feeling brave, attend the show alone.

Whether it's fully festive or anti-Valentine's Day, there's nothing better than being surrounded by your favorite people.

Finally carve some time to lock into your couch and tackle a series you've been dying to start. Snacks are a must.

Make it a family affair! Valentine's Day is all about showing love to the ones you care about most.
