Then dress to impress at a romantic gala night plus a Love 101 talk, led by a certified dating coach.

Please Text Me Back: A Filthy Valentine’s Reading
 

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like sexting a famous poet, The Projector and some local poets have got just the thing for you. Hosted by Singapore’s top love guru, Preetipls, join Pooja Nansi, Marylyn Tan and Alfian Sa’at as they offer a night of naughty readings, including some of their personally-penned, super sexy prose.

Valentine’s Day Man Auction
 

The infamous Coyote Ugly Saloon has opened up an outlet at none other than Singapore’s hottest nightlife district, and for their inaugural local Valentine’s Day shindig, they will be hosting a Valentine’s Day Man Auction. So if you’d like to meet someone completely new, head down to the Saloon as they auction males off to bar patrons for an immediate date, inspired by a scene from Coyote Ugly, where the protagonist Violet auctions off her friend to make money instantaneously. Let’s just say we expect no less from the Coyotes.
 

Valentine’s Day Walk Walk
 

Organised for introverts by introverts looking to connect and engage in a safe and comfortable environment, Valentine’s Day Walk Walk will take a small group around Singapore’s first satellite town, aka Queenstown. A hawker-style dinner will follow too, so it’ll be a truly quaint and local experience.
 

Valentines Sing-Off 2020
 

A V-Day sing-off is happening on Friday at Downtown East, where participants who registered for the competition will get to say “I love you” with a heartfelt song. Attractive prizes will be dished out to the top singers, though if you’re not one to belt tunes, we’re sure you can still head down to check out the awesome entertainment.
