Valentine's Day

Valentino to us means Valentines

The 14th—it’s the most romantic day of the year, right? Answer: For some, yes, primarily if you’re in a committed couple, falling in love, or excited by a new relationship. That said, if you’re single on Valentine’s Day, it’s totally normal if you’re feeling a bit lonely.

Get one thing straight, though: There is "nothing" inherently wrong with being single on Valentine’s Day. (Or any day of the year, for that matter.) "This one day shouldn't define how you see yourself as a person," says Tess Brigham, a licensed psychotherapist and life coach.

In fact, riding solo in general can be a great opportunity to discover more about yourself and your own needs, says Raina Wadhawan, MA, EdM, a New York-based therapist.

"Being single on Valentine's Day can trigger feelings of being unworthy or unlovable," Wadhawan explains. There is no such thing as being unlovable, though, as everyone has the potential of being loved and cared for by others. "It is important to be mindful to not fall into the pattern of rumination," Wadhawan says.
