Well, VideoJug shows you how to survive on the most romantic of days if you are all alone. Learn how to celebrate your single status on valentines day- you might even fin your own true love!

Step 1: Don't mope

Walking around with a face like a wet weekend and crying into your coffee will make you feel worse. Do you really want other peoples smug sympathy as they discuss their romantic, over priced dinner plans? No. Feeling sorry for yourself is not the way to go; unless you want to look like a complete loser.

Step 2: Don't be a cynic

It may be easy to sneer at the brash commercialism of Valentines day - especially when you will be bombarded with cheap adverts for the preceding two weeks, but don't. Not only will you be spoiling other peoples fun but it will look like sour grapes. It may be fun, but avoid pointing out they are paying through the nose for cheap useless tat and that St Valentine himself was actually murdered on this day. You will only feel better for a moment or two.

Step 3: Ignore it

Treat the day just like any other. Although you may have to avoid listening to the radio or watching TV which will be swamped with slushy programmes. Take yourself off to the cinema instead - just make sure its not a romantic movie.

Step 4: Cheat

Send yourself a card to your work address signed from 'Your Secret Valentine'. Or even better, send a few. And chocolates and roses. When asked who sent them just give a knowing smile. The expense will be well worth it, and you get to enjoy the chocs and flowers yourself.

Step 5: Celebrate your singleness

Spend the day being thankful for being single and not feeling obliged to send someone a tacky teddy bear carrying a heart. Get your other single friends together and have a raucous fun night out. Many clubs now specialise in single Valentine's nights -so make the most of it and play the field.

Step 6: Take a holiday

Valentine's day is only celebrated on February the 14th in certain countries. A bit of winter sun may be just what you need.

    That was retarded. *Not* making snide comments about the death of St. Valentine? *Not* being cynical and annoying? My god, those are the only things that keep me sane during this nightmare 90% of the time (6 years and counting btw). The only real advice I would give is to embrace the occasion and become a bitter, hateful, sorrowful jerk. At the very least it makes you feel better by ruining all those coupled, smug b*****ds moments. Its also possible that maybe, just maybe, some horny, desperate-as-you girl will want to hook up. Being female and therefore inherently capable of getting a date anytime, she's still clearly a loser that is into desperate losers like you as well.

    Valentine's day can be great single. Last year we had an anti valentines day girls' nite with Girl Talk and Mall phone and lots of great food. Alternatively, I know some guys who went out to the bar for some drinks and fun and they had a great time too. It can be a special day for everyone!

    For me, I just ignore that it is Valentine's Day. I only celebrate Halloween.
