Valentines Ideas For Singles!
Looking in the right places for love: a Valentine’s Day guide
February 14 can be a nightmare for most singles, what with all the promos on TV and the internet and the pressure to find somebody you can share it with can be intense. However, if you really are single and ready to mingle, there are loads of places you can meet people who could potentially be your date, and who knows where things could go from there? The key is to have an open mind and be yourself, because you never know when or where you could come across the love of your life. You don’t have to go out of your way to find someone though. Here’s a handy list of the top ten places you’re most likely to find somebody who catches your eye:
- - Workplace/University: You’re there most of the time, you’re busy doing what you do best (or worst, as the case may be) and you’re being your usual, everyday self. While workplace romances can become messy, your office is also the one place where you could find someone who likes you for more than just the way you look. Keep an eye out for interesting and interested people!
- - Cafe: Sitting in a cafe with a book or a laptop is one of the easiest ways for someone to start a conversation about what you’re reading or working on. A congenial environment, coffee and lots of time also allow you to make conversation with someone without loud music blasting in both your ears or annoying friends being around. Try it out some time.
- - Pub/Club: The one drawback of meeting someone in a pub or a club is that the environment you’re in doesn’t allow for lots of flirtatious conversation. Alcohol can also make you do stupid things which you may not want a potential date to see the first time you meet them! However, if you’re the kind who’s at home in a pub or a club and show to your best advantage in dim lighting, loud music and need alcohol to lower your inhibitions, this can be a dating goldmine. Just remember to behave!
- - Library: A more likely place for finding nice guys/girls who have a smidgen of personality and won’t bore you the minute you’re sober. Keep it quiet though, or you might find yourself an angry librarian instead of the interesting person you’re after.
- - Waiting room: Sitting around, killing time at the doctor’s office or bank can be a potential way to meet new people.
- - Gym: If you’re looking for someone outdoorsy or athletic, there’s a good chance you’ll find them here. Making yourself healthier and fitter in the process is just a great plus to this activity.
- - Bus/Train: You’re bored on a bus anyway, and most other people are too. There’s no better excuse for going up to that person you’ve been eyeing and making a little friendly conversation with them. But you should remember that you’re sharing the bus/train with a whole load of other people who will definitely know if you’re making a fool of yourself or being a nuisance. Be suave and subtle.
- - Speed-dating: Our modern answer to a lack of time and opportunity, speed-dating can be a fun way to spend an evening meeting potentially fun people. Don’t be sceptical right from the start though, because people can definitely see it and they won’t be pleased.
- - Parties: Small, intimate gatherings or big, loud and obnoxious, parties thrown by friends are a good way to meet new people. And if you don’t like what you get, you can always find someone else because there are always loads of singles at parties who’re looking for the same things as you.
- - The Internet abounds in chatrooms and dating websites which promise to find you your soulmate. Beware though of creepy stalkers and underage (or overage) people masquerading as someone they’re not. Used wisely and well, the internet can be dating resource but if you’re careless, you might end up putting yourself in serious danger. Look for legitimate websites and chatrooms run by reputed names and definitely don’t reveal personal information about yourself!

Great Milenko
$6.39 Comedy hip-hop generally takes the low route, doing either physical humor (cf. The Fat Boys) or a litany of cheap-shots and potty-talk (cf. 2 Live Crew). Insane Clown Posse does both. But they're also side-splittingly funny for a couple listens--and pretty good with the beats and samples besides. The concept's like this: These two white guys have a vision of global unity that has something to do w... |

Is Jacob the best boyfriend in the world...well is he....?
this is a shameless rant about my beloved.
i waited ...single...for two years to find and date someone and we met by chance in the most romantic way.
he has been perfect ever since...
my family loves him
I love him....
he is supportive and understanding and handsome and SMART...
and religious....(even if i am not we have great discussions about the history of the bible!)
even when we part i am secure in the fact that i will see him later and that i carry him with me!
What should i get him on Valentines day that is not superficial, and is original, and reflects on how i feel about him. Mature and sexy .
Awwww...congrats! His religious views in relation to yours sound almost exactly like mine and my husbands, as he's devoutly religious and I'm just so-so. LOL
Depending on how much you want to spend, why not soend Valentine's night at an exclusive hotel close to you...someplace you wouldn't go on an everyday basis? Someplace with a nice hot tub that seats 2! You can show him how much he means to you by giving him a bath while the two of you are in the hot tub, while drinking champaigne and snacking on strawberries (yeah...corny, I know!)
Even if you don't wanna spend the money on a fancy hotel, scrub down your bathroom with bleach, get some candles, some flowers, decorate the place...and voila!
History of Valentine's Day
