Spending Valentines Day Alone

Valentines day is all nice and peachy if you have someone to celebrate with. We all know what it's like to feel alone and down on valentines day if we don't have a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a fiancee, a wife, or a husband. But what if you do have a special someone, it just so happens that you won't be able to celebrate Vday together because of some unfortunate circumstances. Here's how you can celebrate Valentines day together, even if you are apart from each other!

The trick to celebrating valentines day together between large distances is to find other means of communication. You will need to get creative to make this work in your specific case, but my partner and I have successfully done it for two years in a row and we know it's possible. Here are some ideas to get you thinking creatively to solve this long distance dating problem.

Figure out a time that you can communicate together on February 14th. This can be harder if the two of you are in different time zones, but I'm sure you'll be able to convince your boss or your friends that yuo need to get to work late or leave work early to wish your sweetheart a happy valentines day. So now that you've successfully agreed on a time that you are both free, you should decide what your prefered means of communication will be.

Communicating With Your Loved one On Valentines Day

You have the choice between a phone conversation, chatting on an instant messenging server, using a webcam to see each other and talk to each other over the internet. Out of all of these choices I strongly suggest using a webcam and chatting with your lover. Now if either of you doesn't ahve the internet or a webcam, you will either need to hurry and procure one (maybe as a Valentines day present!) and get set up. Otherwise you might want to resolve using the phone.

Because you are away from your honey during the valentines day season, you should consider buying your valentines day gift ahead of time and sending it to him or her ahead of time to ensure they get it in time to celebrate with you. If you prefer to prepare a card or gifts by hand, then your job is simple, just create it and send it. Otherwise you can shop online and have merchants include a note that says how much you love your significant other.
