Valentine's Day is just around the corner. It is a special time for those in a relationship and to others, it serves as a friendly reminder that one is single again. If you don’t have that special someone this year, here are a few things you could do to still enjoy Valentine’s Day.

1. Hang out with friends: You don’t have to be alone on this day.
2. Spa day at home: Treat yourself to a whole day of relaxing.
3. Bake: Whether it is Valentine’s Day related or not, you can still have fun and be creative.
4. Surround yourself with things you love: Reminder you don’t need anybody to make you feel loved.
5. Learn to love yourself: Self-love is the most important kind of love. Just focus on yourself.
6. Ignore it: It’s just another day.
7. Spoil yourself: You deserve it! Finally buy that thing you’ve been pushing off!

Some other ways to still enjoy Valentine’s Day are by saying cheesy pick-up lines. Even if you do not have a date, say some pick-up lines to make friends smile. If that does not work, say them to yourself in the mirror, it is never a bad idea to boost your self-confidence.  Anchor News has provided the following conversation starters for you to try out!

1. Did you know that there are 21 letters from the alphabet? There’s not? Oh, I forgot U R A Q T!
2. You must be a keyboard because you are just my type.
3. They say that Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth. Well apparently, no one has been standing next to you. 
4. Are you from Tennessee? Because you are the only ten I see! 
5. Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk past you again?
6. I was blinded by your beauty, I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes. 
7. Let’s flip a coin. Heads you are mine, tails I am yours. 
8. Are you the garbage? Cause I want to take you out? 
9. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together. 
10. You are like a dictionary. You add meaning to my life. <3
11. You must be a broom because you just swept me off my feet. 
12. If I had a star for every time that you brightened my day, I would be holding a galaxy. 
13. Do you like Star Wars...because Baby Yoda only one for me!
