A guide on how to enjoy Valentine’s Day if you are single

Love is officially in the air, and I want to stop breathing. Valentine’s Day is romantic and all, but it mostly sucks when you are single and more when all your friends are dating.

All the events and happenings in your city are targeted and promoted for couples but fret not we have handpicked some events which you can enjoy even if you are not coupled up.

Standup comedy

Laughter is always the best solution. Attend standups happening in your city to laugh your heart out.

Drunkling Club in Bengaluru is hosting a Love Hate comedy special on Valentine’s Day

If you are in Hyderabad, The Singles’ Show would be perfect for you to attend. All the artists performing are single and will lighten the mood and the pressure surrounding the big day.

Blind dates

If you are a hopeless romantic and believe your soulmate is out there, but also never steps outside your house, Online Blind Dating would be the perfect way to meet new people.

If you are shy and reserved, don’t worry. You will have your own private space to interact.

So keep your ice-breakers and cheesy pickup lines — and answers to “tell me about yourself” as well — ready.

And if you are outgoing and want to do something out of your comfort zone, there are Tinder Mixers.

This time, it’s happening in Hyderabad, and they are offering masterclasses in pizza and cocktails. The event is happening on Sunday, 12 February, at Jamie Oliver’s Pizzeria.

Watch classic romcoms 

Romcoms never go out of style. Have a marathon of your favourite romcoms — from Bridget Jones’s Diary to Jab We Met.

Pair your favourite Hugh Grant movies with a glass of wine and cheese. Invite your other single friends over and swoon over Shah Rukh Khan and his charm.

Or dress up in your favourite little black dress or dress shirt and experience an open-air movie.

SCC SkyCinema is screening all the classic romcoms starting from 11 to 14 February in various locations across Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

The possibilities are endless. To celebrate Valentine’s Day or not? Depends on you.

Read that book that has been kept aside for a while now, or catch up on your favourite shows.

The most special person in your life is you. This Valentine’s, pamper yourself, do things which you like, and enjoy the season of love.
