As Valentine's Day approaches, some people are preparing for their yearly Anti-Valentine's Day celebrations, while others are getting ready for candlelit dinners and poignant pronouncements. On this day, we honor anything that isn't sweets, roses, or excessively sugary Instagram posts.
Anti-Valentine's Day is a great time to binge-watch romantic comedies with a dash of cynicism and indulge in your favorite goodies (without sharing), regardless matter whether you're single and enjoying your newfound independence or simply sick of the "couple goals" gimmicks. So let's celebrate the day without a Valentine's Day card - after all, who needs roses when you have pizza and a decent collection of memes?
Not to mention the real delight of Anti-Valentine's Day - winning those chocolates at a discount! We're over here with a bag of gummy bears and no shame while everyone else is stockpiling heart-shaped sweets.
It's time for you all to live your finest anti-Valentine's Day lives, single folks! Prepare to laugh until your stomach aches, grab that enormous bag of chocolates (we see you, no judgment), and settle down on the couch wearing your best "I'm not here for romance" outfit.
Now, you, your snacks, and a good selection of memes that perfectly capture your "I'd rather be eating pizza" attitude are the main focus. Forget about expensive dinner reservations or awkwardly sitting through a couple of selfies. There is nothing more self-loving than becoming an expert on memes while discreetly criticizing everyone else who is in love - or at least acting as though they are.

Here are 17 funniest anti-valentines Day memes to laugh on the other side of your face
1) V for Viola (Via Pinterest/ @Redbubble)
V stands for Viola rather than Valentine. We single people would much prefer have a viola any day, so forget about the flowers and heart-shaped cards. It has additional requirements and isn't expecting chocolates. So let's hope for a love that is less gooey and more musical.
2) You are going to meet the love of your life at 11:00 (Via Pinterest/ @Cheezburger)
The clock reads 10:65, but you're going to meet the love of your life at 11:00. Time is attempting to sabotage your plans, we suppose! Perhaps the world is giving you a little more time to decide what to wear, or perhaps love is fashionably late. In either case, whenever it occurs, it will be an unforgettable entry.
3) V stands for Vodka (Via Pinterest/ @SVD VIBE)
V stands for vodka, not for love. With a bottle that never lets you down, why needs chocolates? At least vodka won't force you to request a romantic dinner reservation or listen to corny love tunes. So let's hope for a straightforward love that doesn't require mixers.
4) When you can't escape all of the Valentine's Day posts on social media (Via Pinterest/ @Adonalyn Designs)
When you're just trying to get through the day without choking on the romance and you can't avoid all the Valentine's Day posts on social media. Every scroll seems to be a couple selfie or a confession about love, and you're just like, "Can we please return to food photos and cat memes?" Even your phone is currently attempting to act as a matchmaker.
5) Why fall in love when you can fall asleep (Via Pinterest/ @Etsy)
When you can go to sleep, why fall in love? At least you can count on peaceful dreams and no drama while you're asleep. Candlelight dinners and obsessive text message analysis are no longer issues. Additionally, naps allow you to live your best life, completely refreshed and drama-free, without expecting you to remember anniversaries or share your fries.
6) Cupid, Who? (Via Pinterest/ @Robin Plata)
This cat, obviously taking matters into its own hands, thought Cupid's arrows were a delicious snack. Why need love at first sight when you have a furball who can turn romance or everything else into lunch? This year, Cupid seems to be taking a vacation. One bite at a time, the cat may be spreading love like the real Cupid! Who knew that furballs were more adept than most people at celebrating Valentine's Day?
7) I love being single until I see a happy couple (Via Pinterest/ @just for fun series)
It's said that being single is wonderful - until you see a content couple strolling hand in hand and looking gorgeous. Suddenly, the Netflix marathon seems a little less exciting, and the lone pizza party doesn't seem as dazzling. While there are benefits to being single, it's difficult to compete with someone who has a built-in cuddling partner and fries-sharer!
8) Same Catto, same! (Via Pinterest/ @Hannah Shope)
This cat has a great idea when love starts to pour down like confetti: get an umbrella and shield yourself from all those heart-shaped symbols. This cat is keeping cool and dry while everyone else is getting soaked in passion, demonstrating that sometimes avoiding love is the best course of action.
9) Stupid bugs! (Via Pinterest/ @Nate Cannon)
Stupid bugs? It's more like foolish love bugs! To be honest, who can blame this individual for attempting to spray away all those heart-shaped distractions? A can of "heart repellent" tells it all: "I'm not interested in this lovey-dovey nonsense." Perhaps they'll include a small "no more couples" clause in the label the next time.
10) NO to all (Via Pinterest/ @Work Avoidance)
Be careful not to breathe in the air especially if you're single and content with that because love is in thee air! Seeing how cute all those couples are only makes you value the solitude of your own existence. And the answer to the question, "Will you be my Valentine?" is a resounding "No," since, really, who needs the drama with the heart when you have freedom and snacks?
11) So why did you let him in! (Via Pinterest/ @stewart)
Who wants a totally peaceful, predictable life? Let's face it, the unpredictability is what makes life interesting. Moments that make you reevaluate your life decisions, such as that fiery curry or that impulsive choice to swipe right on someone who obviously believed that "romantic" meant "tragedy," may sometimes produce the sweetest memories.
12) Love is an open door, close it! (Via Pinterest/ @CARSON GATES)
Close the door before all the drama enters because love is an open door! To be honest, when you can have everything tightly controlled, who needs the emotional rollercoaster? When it comes to love, it's sometimes preferable to keep things under wraps, especially if you're not prepared to handle the accompanying emotional bundle. Open doors are great for getting fresh air, though.
13) Getting into a relation is okay but remember then what happened in Titanic! Take the lesson! (Via Pinterest/ @LittleNivi.Com)
It's all well and good to start a romance, but remember what happened on the Titanic! Yes, there is the romance, the thrill, the "I'm the king of the world" moments at the beginning, but then - iceberg! All of a sudden, you're rushing for a door that is far too narrow for you both, and the drama is enough to make you question every decision you've ever made in your life that has resulted in this emotional disaster. Be careful, people!
14) Simple plan for Valentine's day! (Via Pinterest/ @SAMANTHA DURAN)
Single folks plan for Valentine's Day? Brilliantly easy. They'll be in their bedroom acting as though they don't exist and making no noise at all. They will embrace complete seclusion, the highest form of self-care, while everyone else is busy sending love letters and sweets. Just a quiet, serene haven in pajamas - no flowers, no cards with hearts on them. When you have quality time to yourself, who needs romance?
15) Do not touch me, Cupid! (Via Pinterest/ @ROTT515)
This guy is just saying, 'Don't touch me!' when Cupid tries to shoot his love arrow. He obviously doesn't need the romantic drama; he already has enough turmoil in his life without romantic complications. When you have limits and a strong "stay away" face, who needs arrows? Cupid will need to locate a new victim.
16) Current relationship status: (Via Pinterest/ @LoveBoss)
A classic manoeuvre, isn't it? When you have a whole plate of food to yourself, why needs company? It is 'efficient,' not 'selfish.' Additionally, there will be more space for dessert and fewer dishes to clean.
17) 8 Million dollars and a healthy metaboism (Via Pinterest/ @Kimberly Madigan)
We need eight million dollars and a healthy metabolism, not a Valentine! What's the point of romantic meals and heart-shaped chocolates when you can indulge in pizza for the rest of your life and never put on weight? It may be difficult to discover true love, but money and metabolism? That is truly a match made in heaven.
To sum up, Anti-Valentine's Day is all about embracing being single and flying your "no heart-shaped bullshit" flag with pride. We're over here living our best lives, complete with pizza, Netflix, and no stress at all, while couples are busy mailing expensive chocolates and love letters. So let's strive for a peaceful, quiet day devoid of embarrassing "Will you be my Valentine?" scenarios.
We're just out here avoiding Cupid like he's an unsolicited text message from your ex, let's face it, while the rest of the world goes all gooey and gushy. We only had ourselves, our snacks, and the lovely sound of silence - no reservations for dinner, no forced small conversation.
We'll be over here, enjoying our best single lives without any drama, so let the lovers do what they want. Let's hope there aren't any heart-shaped distractions.
