Being single isn’t a waiting period—it’s an opportunity to focus on you. When you prioritise your happiness, confidence, and self-care, you naturally attract the kind of connection that enhances your life rather than completes it. Valentine’s Day is often framed as a time for couples, but we believe it’s also the perfect moment to celebrate yourself—your growth, your joy, and everything that makes you uniquely you.
For lesbian, gay, and bisexual women, dating can sometimes feel more complex, with fewer spaces that foster genuine connections. But no matter your relationship status, one truth remains: when you invest in yourself, you step into relationships from a place of strength, clarity, and fulfillment.
So, instead of seeing February 14th as just a couple’s holiday, let’s reclaim it as a day for self-love, empowerment, and setting the foundation for the love you deserve.
Make Valentine’s Day About You
Rather than seeing it as a reminder of what you don’t have, reframe it as a celebration of everything that makes you, you. Love isn’t just about romance—it’s about how you show up for yourself daily.
This Valentine’s Day, make yourself the priority, because the more you value yourself, the more you attract the right people and experiences into your life.
Indulge in Self-Care
When was the last time you did something just for yourself? Use this day as a chance to recharge and treat yourself well.
Run a warm bath with your favorite essential oils.
Book a massage or a beauty treatment.
Take the afternoon off to relax with a book or binge-watch your favorite series.
Go for a nature walk and clear your mind.
Self-care isn’t just about luxury—it’s about taking time to nurture yourself and reset. When you prioritise your well-being, you cultivate the energy that attracts meaningful connections.
Find Joy in the Things You Love
Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to shake things up and do something that brings you joy.
Have a solo dance party in your living room.
Take yourself on a date to your favorite restaurant.
Try something new, like a pottery class, live music event, or a fitness challenge.
Reconnect with an old hobby—painting, photography, or playing an instrument.
When you actively seek joy, you naturally radiate confidence and positivity, making you even more magnetic to the right people.
Celebrate Yourself with Words
How often do you acknowledge your own growth and accomplishments? Take a moment to write a love letter to yourself.
Start with:
What do you admire about yourself?
What challenges have you overcome that you’re proud of?
What dreams are you excited to pursue?
When you appreciate yourself, you set the standard for how others should treat you.
Surround Yourself with Uplifting Energy
If you’re craving connection, use this day to spend time with those who uplift and inspire you.
Host a Galentine’s get-together with friends.
Arrange a vision board night to focus on your future goals.
Have a themed dinner party where everyone brings a dish they love.
Volunteer for a cause you care about—it’s a great way to meet like-minded people and give back.
Love isn’t just found in romantic relationships—it’s in deep friendships, personal passions, and community.
Set Intentions for Love—Without the Pressure
Being single isn’t about waiting—it’s about creating the life you want. Instead of focusing on “finding someone,” focus on becoming the best version of yourself.
For lesbian, gay, and bisexual women, this might also mean stepping into spaces that celebrate your identity and values. Whether it’s joining a new LGBTQ+ community, attending events that support visibility, or simply surrounding yourself with people who make you feel seen, the right energy will always lead to meaningful connections.
