Valentine' Day is not for everyone; there are many who find the omnipresence of red roses and chocolates sickening, rather than adorable. There might be others who just went through a bad break-up or have given up on love.

Whichever group you belong to, there are quite a few activities that you can do with or without your 'love'-hating friends.

Pamper yourself

Instead of taking the time and effort to make someone else happy, use the holiday to pamper yourself. Relax at a Spa, enjoy a soothing massage, spend the day shopping for yourself, eat everything you love, listen to your favourite music and everything else that makes you happy. 

Watch the least romantic films

Stay away from rom-coms for the day and catch up with some of the best anti-valentines day classics. 'Fatal Attraction', for example will you with relief, for that one-night stand did not turn into something more, while 'Basic Instinct' will remind you why falling for a sexy seductress may not be the best idea this Valentine's Day. If Ryan Gosling has to resort to dating blow up dolls ('Lars and the Real Girl'), what chance do mere mortals like us have at love?

Other anti-Valentine's Day favourites include "Antichrist", "Heathers" and "Frances Ha".

Throw or Attend an Anti-Valentine's Day Party

With broken heart decorations and cocktails with clever puns, go all out on an Anti-Valentine's party, that will be the talk of town till 14 February 2016. With lists of "Best Reasons to be Single", "Worst Date Stories", "Worst Pick-Up Lines" and so on, make up games that spits in the face of love. An example would be playing cheesy scenes from romantic films and making snarky comments at it. 

If you want to go a step further that just hating Valentine's Day and announcing to the world that you do, take a look some of the funniest quotes and messages that you can share with your friends:
