Valentine’s Day is a day in which many people come together to celebrate love. However for the single pringles, Valentine’s Day can just be like every other day or a day you feel bad because of all the lovey dovey things lovers do.

Valentine’s Day is all about love although some may argue love should not only be celebrated on one day but everyday and some people say all kinds of love is celebrated on this day. However, we all know lovers take up a large part of it. For people who are in relationships, Valentine’s Day is one they look forward to, plan for and even do countdowns for.

If you are trying to avoid seeing all these on Valentine’s Day, here are five places you should definitely avoid;

The cinema

If you are trying to avoid seeing lovers being all lovey dovey over each other then the cinema is for sure the number one spot to avoid on this significant day. 

Many lovers gather up at the cinema to watch a good old romantic movie with their loved one and they are bound to be all over each other on this day.   

The beach

Don’t go to the beach if you are single on Valentine’s Day. It is a bad idea. All you will see are couples having fun and if you are really ‘unlucky’, you might even witness a romantic and cheesy marriage proposal. 

Restaurants 

Another place to avoid if you are single on Valentine’s Day are restaurants. Couples book them for their romantic dates on Valentine’s Day. It is also a hot spot for marriage proposals.

The mall

The mall is also the number spot for couples. Many of them gather up with their lovers to shop, eat or watch movies. You are bound to see couples all over each other or holding hands.

Social media

Stay away from social media as far as possible on Valentine’s Day, log on if it is necessary.

Treat your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and all others, as a warzone to avoid on February 14. This is very important because even if you manage to avoid the other things or places mentioned. Lovers are bound to post everything they did there on social media for you to see.
