1. I love an excuse to wear a bold red lip, sip champagne, and eat a pound of chocolate any day.
2. I'll buy myself fresh cut flowers, thank you very much.
3. I can still go out for an obscenely overpriced prix-fixe meal, or I can spend my money the way I really want to: on an obscenely expensive but totally worth it anything.
4. I don't have to bore my girlfriends with my anxiety-ridden thoughts about how my kind-of boyfriend might blow me off.
5. I'm not worrying about what my ex is doing this Valentine's Day. If he's got a new girlfriend, he has to spend money on her. And I know how much he hates that.
6. Bars on Valentine's Day are like an unofficial singles night. #bringyourAgame
7. I don't have to worry about a very bloated V Day canoodling sesh after that seven course tasting menu.
