For those who have just endured a breakup, Valentine’s Day is like walking through a shower puddle while wearing socks.
It’s Easter for the lactose intolerant; Labour Day for retail workers; AFL Grand Final Day for those who just really couldn’t give a shit.
You get the gist. It’s a Pandora-promise-ring-filled day of NO THANK YOU.
However.
And this is a big however.
There are very particular ways one can feign happiness to their ex, via the deep dark interwebz. With a (very full) glass of wine in hand, of course.
Namely, they are:
1. The suggestive Snapchat
Step 1: Go to Kmart
Step 2: Purchase $10 bed linen completely unlike any bed linen you have ever owned. Something generically ugly and brown should work.
Step 3: Change current bed linen to aforementioned new $10 bed linen. Dirty it slightly with the Thai food you just ordered to make it look authentic; a rogue noodle or two should do it.
LISTEN: While you’re at it, let Osher Gunsberg explain why you keep dating the same douchebags over and over. (Post continues…)
Step 4: Fluff up your hair a bit. Smudge your mascara. And for those who aren’t wearing mascara – put on some mascara. Now smudge it. Take an ambiguous Snapchat pretending you are on another person’s bed, completely tuckered out after a night of glorious raucous sex.
Step 5: Add an equally subtle caption. I suggest something along the lines of: “Happy Valentine’s Day lovers hahahahahaha LOL ;) ;) ;)”

You are hilarious! Thanks for the post! You obviously understand that the broken hearted need a laugh more than anything.
Oh dear Lord! This sounds like a looooot of work! You're better off getting out there and doing something you enjoy - go out for dinner with your mates, join a dance class, learn to paint/crochet/rebuild an engine/whatever it is that you've always wanted to do. Hell, sit at home and watch Netflix, if that's what you really love. Don't expend your precious mental energy trying to make some guy think you're happy - actually try to BE happy!
