Why you should stop moping and enjoy a day out with your girlfriends: It’s the 21st century: we’re in the midst of shameless selfies, body confidence and women learning to be each other’s friends rather than each others enemies. So why, I wonder, during this young and fun time in our lives, why women everywhere feel like they need to spend Valentines Day alone with a bowl of cookie dough and a sad, Nicholas Sparks movie? Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays, and here’s the shocker: I’m as single as it gets. If I modeled my holiday after the women around me, I would spend the day drowning in a pool of my own tears and ordering a heart-shaped pizza for one. But I’ve learned recently why I never want to be one of those people. There’s a million different types of love in this world- Valentines Day celebrates

Here are the unwritten rules—but written. 10) Always keep a pinky promise. You should know not to mess around with that. If I’m putting my trust and my confidence in you, I’m relying on you to keep my secrets between the two of us. 9) Always tell me if I look like garbage. Don’t be the friend that doesn’t tell me what I really look like because you were worried about hurting my feelings. I asked you because I want you to tell me.

I mean, your friendship is basically a relationship anyway, so why not celebrate the holiday with them? 12. They give you all of the love and attention you need- 11. They’re always there when you need them- 10. You can be super sarcastic to each other- 9. They know exactly how to cheer you up- 8. You know they still love you even when you’re less than nice- 7. You bond over people that annoy you-  

The one where you profess your undying love for each other “You know what? YOU are my soulmate. Like, I just freaking love you so much.” “I love you more! You are so perfect and beautiful, and the only thing more beautiful than your heart is your smoking bod.” “YOU have a smoking bod! Seriously, if only vaginas didn’t naturally repulse me, you would be ‘the one.’” “Yeah, forget every stupid douche I’ve ever been with… YOU are the only one who’s been here through thick and thin.” *Cue drunken, tear-soaked hug* The one where you beauty-check each other “Does my makeup look okay?” “F*ck no… come closer let me wipe off your smudged eyeliner.” “I love you.” The one where you body-check each other “OK wait, you have to come into the bathroom with me for a second.” “What do you need?” “I need you to look at my nipples…
