As most of you are probably aware, Valentine’s Day falls on 14th February. While there are many different stories and beliefs as to why this day is celebrated, it is widely about expressing your love to that special someone. People celebrate this day with flowers, cards, teddy bears, spa sessions, dinners and many other romantic things. At least the couples do, for singles all over (including yours truly) it’s a totally different kind of day and feeling. The entire week before 14th Feb is now broken down into celebrating various feelings and things associated with it – because why spend on just one day when you can waste a lot of money on things you don’t need through the entire week?! No, I am not a cynic, I am actually a romantic at heart – a romantic but single woman, which is why I can understand both sides of the population quite well. The much-in-love people might be blissfully unaware of these feelings altogether. But worry not my single peeps, I’ve got you!

I love writing and make a living out of it too (obviously) but some things can only be expressed perfectly through the universal language of gifs. So here are 13 gifs that perfectly depict the different moods the single janta will relate to. Scroll down for some LOLs!
