So we’re only one month into 2017 and you’ve already successfully upgraded from the lonely hearts club to a semi-serious relationship – congratulations.
The only problem is, you’ve done it just in time for Valentine’s Day. Awkward.
As there are so many ways to get it wrong, here are 13 things not to do on the big day.
1. Do not feel guilty for not wanting to get involved.
Everyone else secretly hates Valentine’s Day too.
2. Do not feel pressure to spend lots of money.
