    You should pick your favorite kind and add sprinkles and whipped cream.
  • Question
    What if I have a crush on someone who isn't with me?
    Community Answer
    If this person is single, ask them out. The worst they can say is no.
  • Question
    How can I deal with being the only person not giving out any Valentines?
    Community Answer
    You've already made a choice to not do so, so surely you have made the decision to deal with it too. Don't raise the issue with others, change the topic if they talk about it and realize that it's only one day a year and it'll be over soon. Remind yourself that it's just a game people like to play and won't impact your life in the long run. If people question you or embarrass you, say "Nothing to do with you, it's just that none of these people are that important for me to give them a card" and walk away.
  • Question
    How do I not be a third wheel on Valentine's Day?
    Community Answer
    If you know of someone who is in a relationship and ask if you would like to tag a long with them, just kindly tell them that you already have plans made out. Keep in mind that for most loving couples, Valentines is a day to engage in romantic activities.
  • Question
    I don't like anyone, but I don't know what love feels like. I'm still feeling lonely though. Any advice?
    Community Answer
    Just wait for the right person to come around. You will feel love when the time is right.
  • Question
    What do I do if I like my friend's boyfriend?
    Community Answer
    Don't do anything. Friendship is more important than any boy. Remind yourself that nothing can happen between you and your friend's boyfriend and try to find a new crush.
  • Question
    What if I really like someone but they are with someone else?
    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, my friend, all you can do is wait. Don't try and break them up, and don't try and get him/her to like you. If they're truly happy together, you should be happy for them as well. If he/she ISN'T happy, that's your chance! Wait a little while to ask them out, though. They might need a little bit to get over it.
  • Question
    The love of my life died. What can I do to get through Valentine's Day?
    Community Answer
    Spend time with a good friend or doing something you love in memory of your lost one.
  • Question
    What do I do when my best friend and I like the same boy?
    Community Answer
    You have two options: talk to your friend and decide which of you is going to pursue the boy, or both of you confess your feelings and let him decide. I think the best option is to talk to your friend first so that the boy does not feel pressured to respond to both of you at once.
  • Question
    My boyfriend broke up with me 2 weeks before Valentine's Day. How do I cope with that?
    Community Answer
    Show him that you don't need him to be happy. Do something that is empowering for yourself.
  • Question
    How do I avoid being alone on Valentine's Day?
    Community Answer
    Hang out with friends or family. Go watch a movie (preferably a comedy) to distract yourself. You'll probably forget all about Valentine's Day!
  • Question
    I am too young to do any of this. What else can I do?
    Community Answer
    Just let your friends and family know that you care about them, and enjoy your Valentine's Day with them. It doesn't have to be about romantic love!
  • Question
    What do I do if a boy and I both admitted we like each other, but he says he likes another girl also?
    Community Answer
    As dreadful as it may sound, there is nothing you can do! You will simply have to let him decide whether he wants you or her. If he doesn't give you an answer within a few days, you should probably move on. You don't want to let him string you along.
  • Question
    How should I spend Valentine's Day if my boyfriend lives far away from me?
    Community Answer
    Try to visit him since it's a special occasion; the airfare and visit become the gift. Or, you could call him or use a video link up to chat. You could even prepare a romantic dinner each end and pretend you're sharing it together over video link.
  • Question
    Why am I still single?
    Community Answer
    It's because you simply haven't found the right person yet. That is an extremely common situation. Talk about it with friends or family (or perhaps a counselor). Remember that it's best not to make important choices when you're feeling desperate. Give it some more time.

  • Question
    How do you ask out a boy whom you like even though you don't know if he likes you? What do you do if he says no?
    Community Answer
    Ask him nicely and stay calm. If he says no, find another date. There are too many guys out there to worry about one.
