Have a dinner party
Get your single friends together and have yourselves an anti-Valentine's Day dinner party. Dust off your cookbook and prepare your specialty... or just get takeout from the Chinese place, and serve it on fancy plates. Include wine, beer and/or a signature cocktail (like the Cupid's broken arrow), for maximum fun. Then, top it all off with your favorite dessert. One rule: No discussing the L-word ("love," that is. You're welcome to discuss the television series).

Night at the museum
You're brilliant, you're cultured, you're refined. Prove it by going to the museum. Spend as long as you want staring at your favorite painting, and get inspired by the sculptures. If you're craving more movement, head to the movie theater for a documentary, and learn about something or someone you've never heard of.

Get creative
How about a wine and paint night? If you've ever thought "Oh, this would be fun but I'm not good enough," you're wrong. The instructor will guide you through exactly how to do it. (Just be sure to call ahead and make sure it's not couples' night).

Painting not your jam? How about a pottery class Despite what the movie "Ghost" has told us, there pottery doesn't have to be romantic. How about a sewing class? Mixed-media? The point is, get artsy.

Get inked
Now is the perfect time to get that tattoo you've been wanting. It's not going to be some stupid name you'll regret in five years; it's going to be something meaningful to you. Something that you'll always look at with love — something that'll make you reminisce about that one year you were a total badass.
