It can be difficult watching people get all lovey-dovey on Valentine’s Day if you’re single – especially if you own relationship has recently ended. But heading out to have fun instead of dwelling on your singlehood alone at home might just be what you need to take your mind off the heartache.
To get you in the mood for love, here are 8 singles’ parties on Valentine’s Day for you to meet new people, let loose, and just have fun – and perhaps find a potential partner in the process.
