Sayings for Singles: Anti-Valentine's Day quotes & sayings for single people


Valentine's Day celebrates love and romance. Feb. 14 reminds us to take a moment out of our busy day and cherish our significant other. It reminds us to hold that special person who is near-and-dear to our heart and be thankful he or she is in our life.

Anti-Valentine's Day Sentiment

But for some people, Valentine's Day isn't all about chocolate, teddy bears, roses and sparkly gems. Some believe Valentine's Day is yet another over-hyped, commercialized holiday that really has nothing to do with love at all. It's about the almighty dollar.

And for some single people, Valentine's Day is a reminder of being alone in a couple's world. While some may embrace being single, it can also be a difficult time for folks who are alone.

Singles Awareness Day

There is also a special day of the year dedicated to singles. The day after Valentine's Day is Singles Awareness Day, an annual "holiday" that celebrates singles. It's the perfect day to embrace the most important person in your life - you! In honor of Singles Awareness Day, check out the silly, serious and sentimental quotes and sayings for singles.
