Single's

Single's Guide to a Rocking V-day!

Girls’ night out
Gather all your single girlfriends and head out for a night of complete madness. Whether you choose to go dancing and drinking or have a sober dinner, the point is to have fun just spending time with your buddies. Don’t let this one day dampen your spirits just because all you see around you are lovey-dovey couples and heart-shaped...well, everything. Something about how you can make all the girls jealous of the fun you’re having while they’re stuck with their boyfriends?

Rom coms
Guys are known to dislike romantic comedies because of the over-the-top display of romance. But since you’re single, you don’t need to give a hoot about anyone else’s view. Sit back and enjoy all those romantic comedies that girls in relationships are ridiculed about. Get your hands on classics like My Best Friend’s Wedding, When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless In Seattle. They are fun, feel-good films that are sure to leave you with a happy feeling.

Beat the red 
From heart-shaped balloons to stacks of varied chocolate boxes to big fat bouquet of roses, the one thing that stands out on every V-Day is the overdose of the colour red. So, the first thing you need to do is to stay away from the red to ensure you don’t feel blue! Get engrossed in all those tasks that you had been postponing due to busy work schedules and complete them; be it catching up on that novel or trying new baking techniques.

Get lost
If you prefer the outdoors, then travelling is your best bet. The thing that is most amazing about travelling to a new destination is that it lets you escape reality. Leave everything behind and let the discovery of a new place and its people engage you. In addition, chances are high you’ll meet fun and interesting travellers from all over the world. Moreover, you can also choose lesser known destinations— such as Binsar or Vengurla—that don’t celebrate V-Day like those commercial destinations. 

Benefits of being single

• You don’t have to be accountable to anyone anymore.

• You no longer need to feel guilt pangs each time you take a sinful bite of that chocolate pastry.

Rose Colors and Their Meanings

While no woman would turn down a dozen red roses, find out the other messages you can send by giving a different color or blending the colors in your bouquet.

Red: Love and Romance

One of the most universal of all symbols, the red rose represents true love. It has also appeared throughout history and across cultures as both a political and religious symbol.

Yellow: Friendship, Joy, Get Well

Throughout history, yellow has been closely associated with the sun, making these roses excellent for cheering people up. Yellow roses send a message of appreciation and platonic love without the romantic subtext of other colors. The color represents feelings of joy and delight.

Pink: Love, Gratitude, Appreciation

Pink carries with it the connotation of grace and elegance, as well as sweetness and poetic romance.

Dark pink roses are symbolic of gratitude and appreciation, and are a traditional way to say thanks.

Light pink roses are associated with gentleness and admiration, and can also be used as an expression of sympathy.

White: Purity, Innocence, Sympathy, Spirituality

Early tradition used white roses as a symbol for true love, an association which would later become the hallmark of the red rose. Also known as the bridal rose, the white rose is a traditional wedding flower. In this sense, white represents unity, virtue, and the pureness of a new love. White roses are also associated with honor and reverence, which makes them a fitting memorial for a departed loved one.

Orange: Desire, Enthusiasm and Passion

A literal mixture of yellow and red, orange roses were seen as a bridge between friendship symbolized by yellow roses and love represented by red roses. They can be an expression of fascination, or a gift to say 'I'm proud of you.'

Lavender: Enchantment, Majesty, Love at First Sight

The color purple has a traditional association with royalty. In this regard, shades of lavender roses suggest an air of regal majesty and splendor.
