FEAR NOT, SINGLETONS
For those who are single, Valentine’s Day can feel
like a bit of a slog. According to a recent survey,
half of the American population identifies as
single, and of these people, a quarter says they
plan to do something for Valentine’s Day. On
average, a single man will spend $71 during the
holiday and a single woman will spend $40 -
why not treat yourself to a new game from the
App Store or rent your favorite childhood movie
from iTunes? If you’re struggling this Valentine’s
Day, remember that it’s just a marketing
gimmick, designed to sell chocolate and teddy
bears, so make yourself feel great by pampering
yourself, buying some gifts, or gorging on fast
food. Switch off social media if you don’t want
to be bombarded with selfies and engagement
announcements, reach out to friends if you’re
feeling lonely, and feel your feelings; it’s okay to
be upset that you’re single this Valentine’s Day.
Let out your emotions.
If you’re ready to get back onto the dating scene,
your smartphone has you covered. Whilst Tinder
remains the market leader, Bumble is growing in
popularity, and you might also find a match on
OkCupid, Match.com, Facebook Dating, Grindr,
eHarmony, Coffee Meets Bagel, Her, XO, Once,
Happn, Raya, Plenty of Fish, or Hinge. Use your
iPhone 12’s Portrait Mode to take an attractive
new selfie and put yourself back onto the dating
scene - it can be fun!
In today’s uncertain times, we’re relying on
our devices more than ever before, and this
Valentine’s Day is no exception. Embrace the
change, utilize the apps and services that can
bring you closer to your partner, and make
virtual (or real!) memories that will last a lifetime!
