10 Valentine’s Day Ideas for People Who Don’t Do Romance 

1. Treat Yo' Self Day

This is one our favorite things to do on Valentine’s Day. Make yourself the center ofattention this Valentine's Day by giving yourself permission to pamper and overindulge. Do whatever makes you happy and feel pampered, whether it's a spa day, a shopping spree, or a night in with a good book. Allow yourself some well-deserved self-love by taking a break from your daily routine. Take up a new hobby, prepare a favorite meal, or simply relax and unwind. 

The options are limitless, and the best part is that you get to choose what makes you happy and fulfilled.

With or without a partner, there is nothing better than having a movie night with your best friends. Get together and curate an evening of non-romantic films that match your tastes. Pop some popcorn, grab a few snacks, and settle in for a night of good company, funny films, and great laughter. 

Even better, make a 'movie club' routine and select a movie each week to watch and discuss, like a book club but with films - this way, you can stay connected throughout the year. This tradition is best if you are an anti Valentines Day person.

3. Galentine’s Day Party

If you are a single gal, a Galentine's Day party is an excellent way to celebrate the wonderful women in your life and make lasting memories with them. Make it a day to remember by celebrating the love and bond of female friendship. Surround yourself with women who inspire and support you, and allow the laughter and memories to flow. Make it a day of pampering and self-care, complete with face masks, manicures, and plenty of good food and drink. 

So gather your gal pals and prepare to have a great time at a celebration of female friendship and love!

4. Take a Dance Class

There is something special about taking a dance class on Valentine’s Day. Plus, it is a great way to get some physical activity while having fun. Look for a beginner or intermediate class that teaches a variety of dance styles, and learn something new. You will feel great after a good workout and make some new friends too! 

Who says you need a significant other to get a nice gift? Treat yourself to something special – splurge on a big present and make yourself happy. Make a wishlist and shop for something special you won't regret buying. Take your time and find something that will make you feel good, whether it's a new book, a weekend getaway, or a piece of jewelry. 

6. Roller Skating

Whether you are an experienced skater or a novice, the thrill of gliding around the rink will put a smile on your face.

8. Have a Game Night with Your Friends - Play Some Cards or Video Games

This is for our single guys out there. Game night with your buddies can be the perfect way to bond and have a good time.

9. Take Yourself on A Mini Vacation - Go Camping, Hiking, or to the Beach

Taking a little time out of your hectic schedule and going on a mini vacation can be an incredible refreshment. Whether you are looking for some nature and fresh air or just undistracted time, camping, hiking, or heading to the beach can be just what the doctor ordered. 

You don't need to be all that outdoorsy to take yourself on a mini vacay – you can check out the scenic spots near you or even have a picnic in the park. With a picnic in the park, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find solace in nature. So, take advantage of the much-needed alone time, bring a book or a board game, or simply relax and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. Don’t forget to pack a picnic basket with your favorite foods and drinks and a cozy blanket.

10. Single on Valentine’s Day? Have a Date with the Your Friends 

What could be better than enjoying a night out with friends after a long week? Gather your closest pals, pick a nice restaurant or bar, and make it happen.
