Por qué es mejor estar soltero en San Valentín

Cuando ese temido 14 de febreroth y te encuentras soltero otra vez, empiezas a sentir la presión de tener que encontrar a alguien con quien pasar ese día.

There’s nothing worse than spending that particular day in the solitude of Singletown, right? WRONG!

Por increíble que sea tener una pareja en esa cita romántica tan particular y deleitarse con todo su esplendor, hay muchas más ventajas que ser soltero!

Stop putting pressure on yourself to find somebody just because Valentine’s Day is approaching.

If you have to force it, it’s not going to feel right anyway.

Let nature take its course. If you do manage to find someone you really like with whom you can spend this day – awesome!

But if not, here are many fantastic positive sides to riding solo that will make you feel glad you’re single!

1. Tantos dulces a la venta que puedes comértelos tú solo

When you’re with a partner on Valentine’s Day, you’re not going buy all that candy by yourself because you will feel that your SO should buy it for you on this special day, but when you’re single, it’s all the chocolate you can eat!

Not to mention, you get it for half the price, and you don’t have to pace yourself eating it.

You can pig out without a care in the world. You’re single, and you don’t give a crap who’s looking.

If there’s chocolate on sale – you’re getting it, and that’s that.

2. You can turn it into a Galentine’s Día, y pásalo con tus otras amigas solteras

What’s better than Valentine’s Day you may ask? – Galentine’s Day!

Reúne a tus chicas favoritas y pasad una noche superdivertida y relajada sin ningún tipo de presión.

Pida pizzas, hornee una tarta, vea "Real Housewives" y beba todo el vino que pueda.

I promise it’s going to be even more fun that spending it with a guy.

I’ve spend a few of my Valentine’s this way, and it was always a blast!

Olvídate de los chicos y disfruta de tiempo de calidad con tus chicas, haciendo lo que te dé la gana.

You can make it into a sleepover, but we all know there won’t be much sleeping.

It’s just too much fun perder el tiempo en dormir cuando tus chicas están cerca, ¿tengo razón?

See, Valentine’s Day can easily get you to feel bad about yourself if you’re single, but when you look at it this way, it’s literally just one day out of a whole year, and you get to eat so much candy for a fraction of its real price!

I’d say it’s a pretty sweet deal, and there’s certainly so much to love about it even when you’re single.

Así que anímate, coge a tus chicas, prepara el vino, ¡y pásatelo lo mejor que puedas con tu gente favorita!

3.  Think about all the money you’re going to save

I’m not saying that if you had someone you really cared about they wouldn’t be worth spending money on; clearly, they would!

All I’m saying is now that you’re actually single, you can appreciate the fact that your wallet finally isn’t going to suffer for a commercialized holiday designed to get money on account of love.

De este modo, podrás ahorrarlo para algo que realmente necesites.

Y tener dinero extra siempre es una ventaja.

4. There’s no stress to plan a perfect day for your beloved partner

As nice as it is spending quality time with your partner, it’s really annoying having to plan this massive date that will outshine all your previous ones.

The pressure sometimes gets the best of you, and you don’t even know if they’re going to like it—not to mention the money you’d probably spend as I’ve already mentioned above.

Así, todo eso deja de existir.

You do whatever the f*ck you want—no stress, no worries. Isn’t that awesome?

5. Puedes hacer lo que te dé la gana

You don’t have to dress up and go to a fancy restaurant if you don’t feel like it.

You don’t have to spend the day on grand gestures that will prove to your partner how much you love him.

¡Puedes hacer literalmente lo que te dé la gana!

You feel like staying in and having a rom-com marathon in your pajamas with a bottle of Rosé and a box of chocolates? You got it!

You want to go for a walk by yourself without having to be dressed to the nines for anyone – yes, please!

El día es tuyo para conquistarlo.
