Valentine's Day is right around the corner and for some silly reason, this Hallmark holiday has a way of making singles feel a little lonely. In reality, Valentine's Day is all about celebrating love, which means there's nothing wrong with taking yourself out and falling in love with the person you're. If you're single, there are a ton of things you can do in Montreal this Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day should not be about being single or being in a relationship. It is a day for falling in love, whether that be with a partner, a friend, or yourself. There is no reason why being single should alter your mood on this day and if it does, then you're going to want to do one or more of the things on this list.
Whether you want to be alone or surrounded by your crew this Valentine's Day, Montreal has a ton of things you can do, if you're not coupled up. From pancake dinners and champagne-sipping to kitty-cat cafes and unicorn lattes, you'll be too busy enjoying yourself to even realize what day it is.
Don't be afraid to take yourself on a date and get to know the person you are a little better. We all have moments when we feel alone and by celebrating yourself this Valentine's Day, you will be reminded that being single is not so bad, especially in a city as fabulous as Montreal!
