February 15th - Singles Awareness Day

Ranked #15,014 in Holidays & Celebrations, #262,534 overall

Forever Alone on Valentine's Day?

Is Valentine's Day a depressing holiday for you because you have no one to celebrate it with? Are you the lonely guy/gal between all the happy relationship people? Never say die! The day after is dedicated to YOU: The Singles Awareness Day

As opposite to Valentine's red, the color of this day is green. Also, green is the color of hope, that should remind you not to give up! But the Single Awareness Day is not there to get desparate singles together (although this might be a side effect). This is not about "getting laid", it is about thinking positive and enjoying yourself! With this attitude you won't be the forever alone guy for long.

Single Awareness Day is every February 15th.

So, S.A.D. 2012 is over. let's start the next countdown! Did you celebrate? Leave a comment below!

Countdown to Single Awareness Day

Single Awareness Day: February 15, 2013

ToDo 15.2.2012

- get together with other singles
- meet new people
- give another single a gift
- enjoy and celebrate that you are free

You are not a single?

Congratulations, at least I hope you are happy! But why not remember your single friends on this day after you had a great Valentine's with your significant other?

Call one or two of your single friends and get together without your spouse. Celebrate the good old days, let them feel that you have not forgotten them and for once, they are not the fifth wheel among couples.

You don't have to rub in their face that it's Single Awareness Day, unless they bring it up themselves. Just take the opportunity to make the day of someone you like - and for sure you will enjoy this too!

    I think it's nice for singles to have their own day.

    I always hated being single. I'm married now, but my thoughts go out to those who haven't yet found their "one."

    I think it's a good idea! I remember how depressing all the Valentine's Day hype could get when I was single.

The Most Important Thing

Don't feel bad about being single, think positive! A grumpy appearance does NOT attract people!

(This is why people who are in a fresh relationship suddenly get asked out more often)

Great Advice

Single men and women, this is for you! You will not be forever alone if you manage to be happy with yourself!
