, Best night out Reasons to be single

One in three of us reckon our partner is the most annoying person we know! So is going solo the best gift to give yourself this Valentine’s Day..?

I t’s Friday night, the WhatsApp group is pinging with messages from the girls. ‘Cocktails?’ one asks.

Your coupled-up bestie declines – she’s promised her other half a night on the sofa watching the latest Vin Diesel blockbuster. She spends the evening dozing off, one hand in the biscuit tin, while muscly men jump out of exploding helicopters. Meanwhile, you’re on your second jug of margaritas and spamming her Insta with fun, pouty loo selfies. Stumbling from the dance floor to the chippy is a far better way to spend a Friday.
