Surviving Valentine’s Day as a Single in London – And Loving It!

Valentine’s Day. You either love it, hate it, or try to pretend it doesn’t exist. But here’s the truth: being single isn’t something to “survive.” It’s a journey—one that’s filled with opportunities, adventures, and endless possibilities. So, if you’re spending this Valentine’s Day solo in London, let’s shift the perspective. Instead of seeing it as a reminder of what’s missing, why not celebrate everything you already have?

And here’s a fun fact—It’s a Date was founded on 14th February 2024! Yep, while the world was obsessing over candlelit dinners and overpriced roses, we were setting up something far more exciting: a way for singles to meet, connect, and enjoy dating in a real, meaningful way. So, Valentine’s Day is just another day—it’s what you do with all the others that really count.

What to Do on Valentine’s Day if You’re Single in London

If you’re looking for ways to make the most of the day (and avoid the sea of couples clinking glasses), here are a few ideas:

1. Have Plans with Your Friends

Why let couples have all the fun? Gather your single friends and make an evening of it. Whether it’s dinner, drinks, or a games night, make sure you’re surrounded by great company.

2. Make Plans for the Weekend

Instead of focusing on the 14th, look ahead. And guess what? We’re hosting our next Singles Party on the 15th of February! 160+ singles, great vibes, and an unforgettable night—now that’s a plan worth making.

3. Hit the Gym (Or Do Something Just for You)

Sweat out the Valentine’s energy and boost those endorphins. Whether it’s a workout, yoga session, or even a long solo walk through the city, remind yourself that self-care is the best kind of love.

4. Do Absolutely Nothing

No rules, no pressure—just you, your favourite takeaway, and a Netflix series you’ve been meaning to binge. Sometimes, the best way to spend Valentine’s Day is treating it like any other evening.

5. Be With Yourself

At the end of the day, the best company you’ll ever have is your own. Whether you’re single by choice, circumstance, or somewhere in between, embrace where you are right now. Love isn’t just about romance—it’s about self-love, friendships, and the exciting possibilities ahead.
