PSYCHE! That was totally a trick. It doesn’t suck.. and this is not a post where I supply you, the lonely reader, with a slew of sycophantic anti-love propaganda.

Wait, wait, wait! Before you get all angry with me for tricking you and leave my website, I would ask you that you finish reading this post. It may not change your life, but it might at least make you laugh a little, and give you a slightly brighter outlook on the upcoming weekend.

The world would have you believe that being single on Valentines Day is the worst thing ever. I mean, everybody is in love but you. Even the frumpy weird looking people with hygiene issues that live in various sections of the local Walmart have someone. You feel empty and alone, as if you just had a self esteem enema.

We’ve all been there… some of us are there now.

Sure, you may not have anyone to snog*, but let’s look on the bright side – at least you don’t have to endure with the Walk of Shame… or, even worse, you don’t need to endure that empty longing you get when you realize that your Valentines Day hookup was just a facade without any real substance. Realizing that it was all fake only magnifies the alone-ness of the season.

Sure, being single can suck. But, you don’t have to compound the misery with loneliness and shame.

So, rather than wallowing in self pity, why don’t you use your energies to put a smile someone elses face? Brighten someone’s day!  Pet a puppy! Run around your house naked! I promise it will make things better… maybe not immediately, but let’s be honest, the people we find most attractive  are not the Debbie Downer‘s of the world. They are the one’s who fun to be around. They don’t let crappy circumstances get them down. And you want to be attractive, don’t you?

*I’d snog you.
