But then he stopped talking to me. It was sad and I got over it. Now that valentines day is coming up, I don't have anyone to spend it with! No boyfriend. And most of my friends have a relationship. So I'm alone. I don't know what to do on valentines day. I later realized that Valentines day is the same day as his birthday. So I'll be even more depressed on Valentines day. What am I supposed to do?!

 Throw an Unvalentine's party. Start sending invitations now to your few single friends, with instructions for each one to bring another single acquaintance, and so on. Tell them not to be picky,they do not need to be "cool" singles , or "hot " singles, anybody is welcome ,of any gender, as long as they have a sense of humour and a bit of self irony and don't want to spend Valentine's day moping and cryng over not being paired off. Keep the party purposely a bit silly and juvenile , with board games and
cheesy pop music. Anything romantic/sensual /sentimental is banned for that day, the idea is that actually life can be enjoyable even if you have not met your half apple yet !

 Actually, if you start listening to the radio..closer to Valentine's Day they start advertising certain clubs that will be holding Anti-Valentine's Day parties. So I suggest rounding up a bunch of your single girlfriends( I'm sure there's some left), dress to the nines, and go out to a club hosting that kind of party night. There will be plenty of single men there as well. Or you could buy a big box of chocolate covered strawberries for yourself and call it a day.
Really, Valentine's Day is overrated. Even when you have a boyfriend it's not so great. One year, a guy took me to Hooter's for dinner on V-Day. Another, bought me a cheap stuffed teddy bear with the $10 tag still attached, and tried to make me pay for the movie we went to see. Oh yeah, and his roommate cooked us dinner, so the cheapskate got out of forking over for a real date. So Valentine's Day isn't all peaches and cream for everyone.
