It’s that time of year again. That time when couples are loved-up and going out on dates and giving roses and chocolates. If you don’t have a sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, then all that might make you want to curl up in a ball and cry your single little heart out. But never fear, Charleston has great activities for people who aren’t coupled up. Below you’ll find some places to spend Valentine’s Day in Charleston if you’re single.
