Valentine's Day
60 Valentine’s Day Instagram Captions To Post If You’re Single
#34 is too real.
Valentine’s Day is a lot of fun when you’re in a loving relationship. But when you’re single? Not so much. If you’re spending the day alone it can be tough to watch as couples go out to dinner, hold hands, and share cute posts on social media. That is until you realize the day is about you, too.
While Valentine’s Day may highlight romantic love, candlelit dinners, and cute dates, it’s also a good excuse to celebrate yourself. There are a lot of Valentine's Day Instagram captions to share that perfectly capture the joy of being single, including the fact you don’t have to share a bed.
If you want to joke about being single on Feb. 14, then you might be in the mood for a jokey caption. There are also plenty of powerful posts to share about being in your “independent era” and embracing your freedom. If you’re feeling a bit down after a breakup or genuinely bummed that you don’t have a date, there are captions for that, too.
No matter how you feel about Valentine’s Day, use one of the captions below for any picture you post on IG, whether it’s a mirror selfie, a pic with your dog, or a group shot with your BFFs. All of your fellow single friends will definitely appreciate the candidness, and it’ll help you embrace the day with a fresh perspective.
