Valentine's Day Ideas for Valentine's Day Haters
Valentine’s Day idea: Eat with your fingers.
Listen, white linen tablecloths and candlelight are lovely the rest of the year, but if there’s something about Valentine’s Day that makes you want to puke at the thought of a stuffy maitre d’, consider booking a reservation at a restaurant where it’s allowed—nay, encouraged!—to pooh-pooh the silverware and eat with your fingers. You might try Ethiopian or Indian foods made to be eaten with bread, not silverware, or sushi or a dive bar with chicken fingers and fries.
Valentine’s Day idea: Have a crazy-girly girls’ night.
Pay homage to some of the most loving relationships in your life: those with your girls. Chick it up with fun dresses, pink champagne or other fun cocktails, sparkly eye makeup, cupcakes, the works. Consider it a grown-up sleepover, though with less Truth or Dare being played. Or not—maybe they’ll push you to finally call the boy you have a crush on!
Valentine’s Day idea: Start a “Covert Cupid” tradition with friends.
Don’t let Secret Santa get all the fun. Like the popular office routine, try getting together and picking friends’ names out of a hat, then buying them a sweet Valentine’s Day surprise. Unlike the pressure on boyfriends to buy jewelry or lingerie, you can go wild with your gifts for a friend. Pick up the sex toy she’s too shy to shop for or send her flowers. That way, even the single girls can expect to unwrap a little something fun every year.
Valentine’s Day idea: Have an anti-rom-com film festival.
Sure, everyone likes to indulge in some harmless romantic comedies from time to time. When Harry Met Sally? Practically life-changing. But all that schmaltz can be a bit too much this time of year. Turn the genre on its head by watching your favorite comedy sweethearts in more girl-power roles. So instead of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, try her inErin Brockovich. Instead of Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama, catch her in the most excellent Election. Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner? No, how about Selena! You get the idea.

Valentine’s Day Idea: Have a spa night.
Valentine’s Day is often about taking care of your heart (and his), but why not take care of your body, too? Break out the bath salts, the nail polish or that hair oil treatment that sits in the back of your bathroom drawer, woefully unused.
