It’s almost the most dreaded day of the year for all of singledom (and it’s not exactly looked on with anticipation by many of the clueless who have managed to blunder into couplehood either) Valentine’s Day. Just typing it sends shivers of fear and loathing down my spine and I have no idea where that came from as I’ve always been relatively indifferent to the overly commercialized holiday before – though that didn’t mean I wasn’t a stickler for getting a romantic surprise of some sort on V-day, some guys really need that one day a year reminder, sheesh.

Well I’ve got very little advice on how to weather the V-day blues since this’ll be a first for me and I’ve just started ‘dating’ again (so much work and so little hanky panky). Except for two little nubbins of ‘wisdom,’ first and foremost – this year all the lovelorn are in super awesome luck as the dreaded V-Day also happens to fall on Lunar/Chinese New Year. New Year’s celebrations have always been a boon time for singles (Pagan, Chinese, Solar are all great times to be foot lose and fancy free) so head on out to the nearest Lunar New Year celebration and have the damned fine time you deserve!

And two, well this is best for those who have made a connection but not quite sealed the deal. Celebrate with a little sext! Yes I know, I’m usually screaming at the top of my lungs about not sexting but sometimes a girl drinks a bottle of expensive vodka and feels like making an exception. If you are feeling like you might be wanting to spend the night sexting, for heaven’s sake take the tips offered by Fleshbot (the one about assuming any and all pics can and will be released to the public is particularly good advice) and sext safely.

Alright I’ve got drinking to do, emails to read and pics to browse while drooling and imagining what our kids will look like (kidding! I kid, I kid!)
