Going on a first date is up there with some of life’s more awkward experiences. It’s rarely like the Hollywood encounters we’d imagine as teens, and my younger self would try to avoid them as much as possible… So what can you expect when you finally say yes to potential bae?
We all have those besties who’s friendships we’ll treasure fo’ever – and if you’re lucky enough to have had them in your life for a long time, you would have deffo reached these levels…
Talk about setting our standards SRSLY high! Meet Eric Martiez – the guy who only went and asked his mermaid-obsessed girlfriend to marry him UNDERWATER. Yep, we literally can’t believe it either…
1. You hit ’em with the classic ‘I’m not actually into messaging on here, I’m more of a Whatsapp kinda gal’. Aka, I’m better than this.
Valentine’s Day is just round the corner which means so is the unnecessary pressure of finding a date. It’s not like you’re overly fussed about the date itself – but you wouldn’t mind saving face, or even just looking busy on Insta when it seems the majority of your feed is swimming in snaps of ‘the boy did good’.
Calling out to all solo flyers, there are plenty of reasons to enjoy Valentine’s Day when you’re not coupled up – and they have sweet FA to do with flowers…
1. Your bank account won’t take a hit, which means you can spend your money on someone who is more than worth it. YOU.
Single or in a relationship this Valentine’s Day, here at boohoo we don’t need a boy or a dedicated day to treat ourselves. Justin Bieber is right, you SHOULD go and love yourself… Whether you’re being wined and dined or out with your girl squad it really is time to forget the flowers and chocolate.

OK, so it’s no secret I’m single. In fact to steal quote Bridget Jones, I’m an actual love pariah. As I have nobody to receive a gift from, I’m hoping Saint Valentine will take pity on my sassy single ass and bring be someone to (Netflix and) Chill with. There’s only one dude for me RN and that’s Tattoo Fixer’s Sketch. From his sexy South London accent to his mad inking skills, the man is delicious. I am actually considering apply for a cover up so I can drool over him IRL.
I’ll be getting myself the boohoo heart placement tee that I’d wear tucked into skinny high waist jeans and team with a beanie, chunky boots and loads of jewellery for a laid back date with my Sketchy. Yeah OK, he has a wife and a family and I’m no homewrecker, but a girl can dream right?
