6 Tips On How To Embrace The Friend Zone On Valentine’s Day And Still Have Fun!
It's time to move on from friend-zone!
Ah, Valentine’s Day. The day of love, roses, and chocolates. But what if you’re not feeling the love, and instead, find yourself in the dreaded friend zone? Don’t worry because we have some practical suggestions to help you make it through the day with your dignity (mostly) intact. So if you’re not feeling the love this Valentine’s Day, why not give these tips a try and see if you can make it through the day with a smile?
Here’s How You Can Make The Most Of Valentine’s Day With These 6 Tips
1. Treat Yourself Like The Queen/King You Are
Who needs Valentine’s date when you can spoil yourself with a spa day, a fancy dinner, or a new outfit? You don’t need anyone to make you feel special because you’re already a catch. Plus, you won’t have to share your chocolate with anyone.
2. Hang Out with Your Fellow Friend-Zoned Friends
Misery loves company, right? Grab a bottle of wine and commiserate with your fellow friend-zoned comrades. You can swap stories of unrequited love, watch rom-coms together, and even create a list of reasons why being single is actually awesome (less drama, more freedom, and you get to keep your Netflix password to yourself).

3. Try to Laugh About It
Laughter is the best medicine, they say. So why not try to find the humour in the situation? You can joke about being the “best friend” or come up with clever comebacks to any well-meaning “Happy Valentine’s Day!” messages. Just remember to keep it light-hearted and not too bitter, otherwise, you might scare away any potential suitors.
4. Embrace the Galentine’s Day Spirit
Who says Valentine’s Day is just for couples? Grab your besties and celebrate the power of friendship with a night out on the town or a cosy night in. You can exchange silly gifts, bake heart-shaped cookies, or just have a good old-fashioned sleepover. Forget the dates – your squad is all you need!

5. Remember That the Friend Zone Isn’t a Bad Place to Be
Finally, it’s important to remember that being in the friend zone isn’t the end of the world. In fact, it can be a great place to be. You get to have meaningful relationships with people without the added pressure of romance.
6. Have an Anti-Valentine’s Day Party:
If you’re feeling particularly rebellious, why not throw an “Anti-Valentine’s Day” party? You can decorate with black and red streamers, serve bitter cocktails, and play breakup songs on repeat. It might not be the most uplifting way to spend the day, but at least you’ll be sticking it to the man (or Hallmark, as the case may be).
No matter how you choose to spend your Valentine’s Day, just remember that being friend-zoned is not the end of the world. You’re an amazing person with so much to offer, and if your crush can’t see that, then that’s their loss. So keep your head up, keep being fabulous, and keep being you. The right person will come along eventually, and when they do, you’ll be more than ready for them. Your friend might just realize how amazing you are and come running back to you (or not, but it’s still a nice thought).
