This is not completely on topic, but one of my favorite restaurants reserves one night each year around Valentine's Day for Galentine's Day. I don't go (I'm a guy) but I think it's a great idea. It doesn't need to be limited only to single ladies, it could be any female friend group, right? Or even guys too, if the ladies are ok with that.

Point is, yes being alone can suck on this (made up!) holiday, but there are ways I'm sure you know to have fun anyway.

If you will actually be alone on the day, why not "date" yourself? Dress up in your snuggliest pajamas / athletic wear, get your favorite wine, make yourself (or order) a nice dinner, make popcorn, and re-watch your favorite movie or binge-watch a series? Enjoy the time, and then the next day is a new day where the world is your oyster.

No OP, you can't "force myself to want to date the men I’m not attracted to."

But SOMETIMES you might become close friends with someone you weren't originally attracted to, but over time as you get to know him and share fun / silly / meaningful things with him, you might fall for him. Maybe? "Hope springs eternal" haha.

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

I’ve been with my bf for 18 months and we have not said ‘I love you’ to one another. I keep hearing about how the best/healthiest relationships are a slow burn, you’re friends first, grow to love each other, etc. I’ve never been in a relationship as emotionally slow as this one. It feels like we are friends who sleep together. I can’t tell if it’s healthy or if we just have no emotional spark. Idk... I feel like wanting romance is not a bad thing, right?

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
