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

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

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.

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.
