Valentine's Day is that one day of the year when people get googly-eyed and start talking about things like love, romance, and all that. But not all of us will have someone to squeeze, come Valentine's Day. This list, co-curated with our colleagues, friends and even Khairy Jamaluddin, is to help you wallow in your misery for a bit.
