Whether you're single or getting over a recent breakup, there's nothing weird about not having a romantic partner on Valentine's Day (or any other day). If you are among those who are thinking about being your own Valentine, keep reading this post!  Valentine's Day is just a made-up holiday, but for many people, it is a reminder of their singleness.
