Seven great ideas and one terrible idea for singles this Valentine’s Day

1. Watch the least romantic movie possible – Get away from all that lovey-dovey nonsense with a straight-up action or horror movie. Dollar for dollar, it’s hard to beat the powerhouse of action movie giants in “The Expendables.” Dolph Lundgren AND Sylvester Stallone in one movie!

2. Watch the most romantic movie possible – Drown your single-status sorrows by living vicariously through your favorite on-screen couple. They found true love, and someday, so will you.

3. Hit the town – Plenty of singles will be out and ready to make some new friends. You probably won’t find your soul mate, but then again, maybe you don’t need to.

4. Throw a singles-themed party – Forget about trolling through bars, get the singles to come to you! Invent a theme, promise food or beverages and get ready to mingle. You don’t have to check Facebook to see who’s single at this party.

5. Guys’ night in – Gather up to four friends and relive those glorious after-school deathmatches with “GoldenEye” for Wii. Forget your lovelorn tears of sadness as you gloat to your friends in person about your video game prowess.

6. Girls’ night in – Invite your girlfriends over for a glass of wine, classy martinis or the non-alcoholic drink of their choice. Stay in your PJs, forget the make-up, curl up on the couch with plenty of blankets and relax. You can play “GoldenEye,” too, if you really want to.

7. Mani/ Pedi/ Massage – It’s been a stressful few weeks with the incessant talk of love and dating swirling around you. Relax and treat yourself with a little “me” time.

8. Sleep – It’s Monday! What else are you going to do? As an added bonus, it’s free!
