If your current relationship status involves making dinner for two and eating both portions, we feel you. But it’s time to buck up, ladies– this Valentine’s, we’re skipping the V and taking a hard G approach. Put on Ariana Grande’s 7 Rings, grab your squad, and get ready for the estrogen-filled night of your life.

Grab a girls’ dinner at The Guild

Will there be nauseating couples around? Probably, but that’s nothing new here. What is new is The Guild’s prix fixe menu, that gives you oysters/deviled eggs, duck confit salad/chowder, and Seafood Cioppino/Beef Tenderloin/Boulangerie Potato all in one meal. Oh, and there’s fondue. Bon appetit ladies.

Get yo’ sex education on at Telus Spark

This Valentine’s, Telus Spark is opening the doors to adults only as they teach us the biology of breakups, fun pheromones, and other PG-13 lessons. Grab a drink (or three) and bond with your gals over the simplicity of the single life.

Indulge in a little Chocolat

Let’s be honest: the average guy is no Johnny Depp… so why waste time on them when you could spend it with the real deal? If you head to the Grand on the 14th, you can check out their screening of Chocolat. Your ticket includes admission, a sweet treat and a glass of bubbly!

Laugh away the single scaries with Aziz Ansari

This Parks and Rec star clearly doesn’t have a date for V day, so why should you?! Treat yo’self to his show at the Grey Eagle and laugh with him about how marriage is meant for crazy people.

Step into the Restricted Section at Betty Lou’s Library

Nothing like a cabaret rendezvous to remind you that long term relationships are so not sexy. Who needs ’em? Definitely not these sirens, and definitely not you– so grab a drink, watch the saucy show, and leave your relationship woes on the other side of the bookcase.

Have fun, ladies. Live your very best life.
