Instead of being a happy occasion for lovers, Valentine's Day is viewed by many as a day when loneliness and depression set in as singles lament their dating status, new research suggests.
A recent dating poll of 1,840 single women conducted by WomanSavers.com discovered that nearly half (43 per cent) feel indifference and even dislike towards Valentine's Day as it merely serves to remind them that they are alone.
One single 27-year old woman confessed: "Every year I get depressed and lonely on Valentine's Day because I'm still single."
However dating expert Stephany Alexander, reminds singles that Valentine's Day should be a happy time and is the perfect opportunity to change your future.
She says: "Take steps to meet someone new. If you aren't happy being single, it is up to you to take action to change your situation.
"Put yourself out there. Consider trying online dating, take up a hobby where you can meet some men such as golf, or ask your family and friends to set you up."
Don't let Valentine's Day get you down, search for your perfect date!
