\"Valentine's<\/a>I’ve been single on Valentine’s Day — plenty of times. But honestly, I wasn’t always such a good sport about it.<\/p>\n

There was a lot of whining and crying and angry sputtering on those heartbroken holidays \u2026 and once I even took a sledgehammer to a great big chocolate heart. But if you find yourself in that same Loveless Boat this year, well, suck it up. Take it from someone who’s been there: Being single on Valentine’s Day ain’t that bad!<\/p>\n

I know, I know. I do understand how lonely and depressing it can be and I realize you’re probably not interested in hearing it. So I won’t preach. But I will tell you this: Love is in the air right now, so if you get out of the house and socialize and keep a positive outlook, you might just meet someone special on this day.<\/p>\n

Venus is making a sextile to the bold Aries Moon on Valentine’s Day, which means that if you make a courageous move in the name of love, you just might have some luck on this very day!<\/p>\n

A number of years back on a year when I was single and Valentine-free, I threw a party I dubbed “Love Is for Losers” and invited all my single friends, and I told them to bring all of their single friends. We didn’t let anyone in the door who was involved in a relationship, and the house filled up quickly with all kinds of people who wanted to mingle.<\/p>\n

Sure, there were a few creeps in the crowd. But that night I witnessed two close friends meet men they soon began long-term relationships with, and I actually met a fella that night, too. It was short-lived, but it turned my Valentine’s Day frown upside down.<\/p>\n

If you’re single and stressing, the thing to remember is that love is worth celebrating — even if your greatest love is YOU! No, strike that, I should say ESPECIALLY if your greatest love is YOU!<\/p>\n

Because the truth is, love is for winners, and we all know it. Now get out there and do what you gotta do!<\/p>\n
