Are You Lonesome tonight?

With Valentines Day quickly approaching, as a recently single person, I was wondering how to deal with the fact that I have nobody to share any kind of amorous feelings with on the night.

So here are my thoughts.

1. Book a table at a trendy restaurant for the 14^th, take an inflatable doll and make a scene by publicly dumping my plastic friend.
2. Rent some war movies and forget about love.
3. Buy three bottles of wine; run a hot bath for one, light some scented candles.
4. Put on some baggy sweats; light a candle sitting in a cold room, while eating pot noodle.
5. Go to bed early and cry myself to sleep.
6. Actually ask a real live woman out.

Whichever way you will spend Valentine’s Day, if with a loved one or by yourself, remember one thing, before you can love another you have to be able to love yourself.

I guess I am going to have to work harder at the “loving myself” thing. Hot bath and candles anyone?
