Those without significant others tend to dread Valentine’s Day because they see it as a reminder of their singleness. But Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just about romance: it’s also a day to celebrate all the love in your life, be that your family, college friends, or childhood BFFs. Here are some ways to enjoy Valentine’s Day with the people who mean the most to you.

1. Plan a Girl’s Night Out.
Instead of being cooped up at home, go out with your friends! Spending time with your BFFs either one-on-one or in a group setting is a great way to make sure you won’t be lonely. Try that new restaurant you’ve been dying to go to, or treat yourselves to an extravagant brunch.

2. Have a Spa Day.
Indulge in a day of pampering and relaxation with your friends. Whether it’s a facial, a massage or a mani-pedi, it’s nice to take time for yourself to relax. Going to a spa is the ultimate form of self-love.

4. Cook with friends.
There’s nothing like cooking a nice meal to bring people together. After all, the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach. Make a plan with friends to try that amazing recipe you saw on Pinterest. And if all else fails, order Domino’s.

5. Binge-watch TV.
There’s nothing more relaxing than taking a night off from going out, and spending the night in with your friends. Start a new Netflix series, catch up on The Bachelor, or watch a classic chick-flick.

6. Spend time with family.
As Valentine’s Day falls over February break this year, that might mean that you’re with your family for this holiday. Spending time with your parents and siblings is a great way to thank the true loves of your life. *This one’s for you mom*

Being dateless on Valentine’s Day doesn’t give you any less of a reason to feel loved, so why does that mean you shouldn’t get to celebrate it? Whether you spend the day having brunch, going shopping or getting a mani-pedi, spending time with your friends and family will make the day memorable. And no matter what, make sure you take this day to reflect on the all the love in your life–there’s more of it than you may realize.
