"PinterestFacebookIf you&amp;#39;re bummed out over being without a date on &amp;quot;Singles Awareness Day,&amp;quot; you might actually be in a coveted position. A new survey by online lawyer service first4lawyers has found that most singles are happy with their relationship status&amp;#8212;and many in relationships envy it.\nSurveying 2,000 people in the U.K, first4lawyers found that 35 percent of singles want to be in relationships this Valentine&amp;#39;s Day, yet 34 percent of people in relationships think it would be more fun to be single. The grass really always is greener.\nIf you&amp;#39;re part of that first group, you may not be missing out on as much as you thought: 70 percent of coupled respondents said the holiday wasn&amp;#39;t significant to them. Ten percent said kids squashed any romance they might have once experienced on the holiday.\nNot all singles are falling for the hype around February 14, though. Fifty-one percent said they&amp;#39;re content to be flying solo on Sunday, and 28 percent said they loved their single lifestyle. Twelve percent of singles will spend the day partying with friends, 22 percent will be looking to meet potential dates, and two-thirds are planning on a relaxing night in.\nThe study also revealed some advantages to being single. Uncoupled respondents were more social, going out for drinks several times a month, while those in relationships go out every few months and 37 percent ask their significant others for permission first. Couples also experience less romance than Valentine&amp;#39;s ads might let on, with 50 percent saying they no longer &amp;quot;made out&amp;quot; with their significant others.\nSo, all in all, you may not be in the worst position if you&amp;#39;re flying solo this weekend. You may even miss it one day&amp;#8212;so you owe it to your future, coupled-up self to live it up now.\nMore from Glamour:\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
