Top Ten Single Girl Activities for Surviving Valentine's Day

Peruse the groan-inducing blog Awful First Dates, where women share their very worst dating experiences. Be thankful you're not one of them.
Spend all the time you want getting ready, grab your single friends, and hit dance floors, bowling lanes, and karaoke bars. Literally no chance of feeling lost in coupledom in these locations.
Stare at your pores through a highly magnified mirror (a la Charlotte in "Sex and the City").
Host your own get-together in your apartment or dorm room; it will keep you occupied and you can swing whatever you'd like. All your single friends will thank you.
Be cheerful because the best part of a relationship is undoubtedly the honeymoon, "You like vanilla ice cream? I LOVE vanilla ice cream!" euphoria-trip beginning. The best is yet to come!
Pretend it's not Valentine's Day.
Throw a Loverville-themed White Elephant fiesta. Ask friends to all pick up a cheap, cheesy Valentine's gift (teddy bear, pair of edible panties, carnations, etc.), wrap them, and let White Elephant ensue. Tons of laughter and high spirits later, everyone will go home with a valentine.
Determine your celebrity crush, rent all of his movies, and spend the night swooning over your own personal eye candy.
Two words: Craigslist Personals. You can't feel bad about yourself after reading those.
Call up a grandparent, an aunt, a sibling, whoever and wish them a happy V-day. Do it every year and you'll never get caught without a valentine.
