When is Singles Awareness Day?
The 15th of February is Singles Awareness Day.
What is Singles Awareness Day?
Singles, don’t get sad on February 14th. Just hold out for Singles Awareness Day, a day dedicated to people who are not in romantic relationships.
Singles Awareness Day is not a bad day to commiserate with other solo fliers, if that’s your frame at the moment. But you don’t have to be romantically involved to celebrate life. Dating and marriage are great, but they come with a lot of strings. Unattached people are often more self-reliant and more free to pursue their interests.
So whether you’re on the hunt for that significant other or just relaxing in the freedom of single life, take some time to enjoy your lack of attachment on Singles Awareness Day.

How to celebrate Singles Awareness Day:
- Enjoy flying solo! Spend the day making plans, knowing that you can change them at the drop of a hat. Go to dinner where you want. Or stay home; your choice. Want to buy that new TV? Do it. Want to donate to that charity? No need to check with your spouse. And when you turn in for the night, sleep well in the knowledge that you’ll get your 8 hours without being woken by a restless companion.
- Participate in a singles event, and practice feeling no pressure to hook up. Ever tried speed dating? Not yet? It could be an adventure.
