1. Get your mates round
Don't mope alone, invite your single friends over for a night in, crack open the beers and chill out in front of the TV2. Go to the gym
Not only will you feel better about yourself by working out, you are unlikely to bump into anyone expressing their love to each other looking sweaty and red faced. If you are not a member of anywhere, head to Guildford Spectrum for a range of leisure activities3. Treat yourself
Run a hot bath, dig out a good book and enjoy an evening of rest and relaxation4. Volunteer
Rather than feeling sorry for yourself, why not spend that time giving back? The Vine Day Centre in Aldershot is a homeless charity that relies on volunteers to provide a hot meal, warmth and shelter off the street. To find out more visit http://www.vinedaycentre.org.uk/public/night-shelter5. Bake a cake
Not only will this pass the time, decorating it will unleash your creative side and distract you from the 'V' word. You can then properly indulge and eat it!6. Go to a comedy gig
Grab a mate and head out for a night of giggles. You will snap out of feeling sorry for yourself if no time at all7. Watch a sports game
Not as romantic as the theatre or cinema...getting tickets for the football, ice hockey or rugby will certainly keep you occupied on the game and not on your lack of romance8. Have a big sort out
Throw out those old clothes at the back of the wardrobe, clear out the garage and tidy up the garden. Not only will you feel productive, organised and clear headed, you will be so knackered by the end of it, you will fall asleep before the rom-coms begin on TVTo find out what else is going on where you are, check out our What's On listings page for the low-down on all things comedy, drama, art, film, music and food & drink.
