Director of Psychological Studies and Resident Relationship Expert
Give Advice, Support and Creative Ideas on National
'Being Satisfied Staying Single' Day
DALLAS, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating national "Being Satisfied
Staying Single" day, TRUEBeginnings(TM), a new kind of online relationship
service that takes the time-consuming guesswork out of online dating by
providing a smarter, more scientific approach to compatibility, offers singles
seven "Sweet Somethings" to help make this Valentine's Day a little more fun,
a lot more bearable and not just for couples anymore. Offering encouraging
support and practical tips, TRUEBeginnings' director of psychological studies,
Jim Houran, and resident relationship expert, Laurie L Seale, have compiled
seven creative ideas on how to spend an enjoyable Valentine's Day with
yourself and others that you care for.
"At TRUEBeginnings, we encourage singles to take advantage of this period
in their life and pursue all of the things they enjoy so that when we partner
them with a truly compatible person, they have the foundation for a lasting
and loving relationship," said Seale. "We also realize that Valentine's Day
can be a difficult holiday for some singles and therefore, as today is
national 'Being Satisfied Staying Single' day, we wanted to offer some
creative ways in which singles can celebrate not only themselves but also the
love they have for friends and family."
Following are seven "Sweet Somethings" for Being Satisfied Staying
Single:
1. Love isn't love until it's given away. Remember that Valentine's Day
is really about the spirit of giving and spreading love. Thus, give
the gift of you this season. Give a dozen roses and chocolates to a
senior widow. Volunteer at a charitable organization or deliver
Valentines to bed-ridden children at a local hospital.
2. Everyone has a Valentine. Celebrate the love and acceptance you have
for yourself by indulging in something you normally reserve for a
special occasion. For instance: visit a museum exhibit, go to a spa
or a sports bar with friends, fix yourself a great meal using a new
recipe, or go to dinner with one of your single friends at a new
restaurant you've been wanting to try.
3. Find true compatibility. Make a Valentine's Day resolution to meet
someone you're really compatible with -- not partially compatible
with. Spend the evening posting a profile (with your most captivating
and charming photo!) on http://www.truebeginnings.com, take the True
Compatibility Test (TM) and then spend the rest of the evening
exploring all the great singles on the site. And for a break, print
out a copy of your results and relax on the couch with a bowl of
popcorn, while you learn about yourself with your Personality Report
and Your Ideal Partner Report.
4. Ponder and laugh at capitalism. Consider it ... couples around the
world unwittingly celebrating the tragedy of St. Valentine, who on
Feb. 14th, 269 A.D. was beaten to death with clubs and then beheaded
by decree of Roman Emperor Claudius II for secretly marrying couples!
This solemn event has been transformed into a day where singles and
couples feel the pressure of capitalism bearing down on them to "Buy,
Spend, Do, and Get more" than the year prior. Real romance and love
do not wait for one day to be expressed; they are expressed all year
long.
5. Act like a child. Spend time with younger family members and do
something fun with them. Children, innocent and blithely ignorant to
the adult mayhem surrounding Valentine's Day, view the holiday more
simply -- it's an opportunity to show friends you care. This is also
a great way to show children that singles can be happy and fulfilled
people too!
6. Get away from couples -- take a vacation alone or with friends to
experience a completely different milieu. Go mountain climbing,
camping, shopping or biking, spend a night on the town, or have a
small party at a friend's house. Don't just stay at home and stew;
physical activity is one of the best ways to combat feelings of
sadness and depression.
7. Save some for yourself. According to recent research sponsored by the
National Retail Federation, the average consumer will spend $99.24 on
Valentine's Day -- up from $80.44 in 2003 -- amounting to an
anticipated $12.79 billion this year! So, take that $100.00 and put
it away to give yourself a surprise later in the year.
