This is what I ll b doing this val, I suggest it for the single ones out there.

No matter
where you go, you can't seem to get away from
all the "love" in the air. Even if you're not particularly devastated about your
new relationship status, seeing all the Cupid dolls
and heart-shaped boxes of candy can't help but
make it hit home. If you're newly single or want to cheer up a friend
who is, here are some fun activities for Valentine's
Day after a breakup.
 1. Do that thing you wanted to do but didn't
during the relationship Perhaps this should read "because of the
relationship rather than during it". Take that cooking
class you never had time for. Go to that restaurant
you loved but he/she hated. If you're the "dance in
your underwear" type, do that. It doesn't matter what
you do; the idea is to get back to you. This can be done at any time, but doing it on Valentine's Day
after a breakup can kick-start the healing process.
2. Do something kind for your friends Just like we did in elementary school, give your
friends Valentine's gifts. My dad used to give us
chocolates or Hershey Miniatures on Valentine's
Day just for the fun of it, and I did the same for my
friends. If you work in an office, make an edible
Valentine's card out of a huge cookie with red and white icing. After all, who doesn't love cookies?
Cupcakes or a pastry with aptly arranged sliced
strawberries will do if you prefer. The point is to do
something nice for your friends and others around
you; who knows, they might return the favor one
day.
 3. Do something kind for a complete stranger If you're having a hard time, chances are someone
else is too. Helping others is a great way to take
your mind off of your own problems.
 4. Hang out with your single friends to take your
mind off it If there are other uncoupled people in your group,
get together for a night of dinner or drinks. If you
don't have any single friends, a lot of communities
have singles' meet-ups or interest-specific groups.
5. Play music that suits the day and your mood I know I've mentioned making mix CDs and playlists
for certain moods in other posts, but I really believe
in the healing power of a good song. Funny, sad,
angry or just plain weird-play whichever songs work
for you. If you're musical, write one of your own.
6. Memories Believe it or not, going through old love letters can
help you brave the love-soaked day alone. I'm not
talking about letters or pictures of your recent ex -
I'm talking about anything you might have from other
past boyfriends. When I read a poem a guy wrote for
me in college right after a breakup years later, it reminded me that love is indeed out there and I will
find it again.
7. Celebrate something completely different If some of your friends has a birthday in February or
you just want to have a belated winter holiday
celebration, go for it. If you can't think of anything,
make something up!
8. Buy yourself something special Buy something you have been longing for. That
great-smelling lotion and body wash? Get it. It
doesn't have to be expensive, just something you
don't normally get for yourself. Even a peach daiquiri
will do. If the bartender's hot and single, consider
that a head start for next year.
 9. Above all, love yourself and do something
just for you Take a hot bath. Give yourself a manicure. Go out
for dessert, watch that new Nollywood movie or
make yourself a nice cappuccino. It doesn't really
matter what you do, just indulge yourself. You
deserve it. Being newly single can be rough any time of the
year, but some find it especially difficult when
everything they see reminds them of love. If you
think about it, a break-up isn't only about "the end";
it can also be a new beginning. Whether you find a new love or embrace being
single, caring for yourself and others can help
remind you that there's more than one kind of  love
